As of the time I am writing this, this three pack set of Swiffer duster refills is more economical than buying three single boxes of refills on Amazon; and the duster refills never become so old that they "expire!" These fit easily onto the Swiffer duster handle and they really do an excellent job of trapping dust, hair or even small particles of food in hard to reach places. I am simply amazed that these dusters do so much more than just move the dust around--these things actually pick up the dust, hair and more and make `em stick to the duster like anything! This helps a lot when you can't vacuum certain places.

While you can use these duster refills to dust, you can also use them to clean record albums. I am a huge music enthusiast and Swiffer dusters help tremendously when I need to clean the dust and light dirt residue off a vinyl record album. You can use the duster again and again on quite a few record albums before they begin to discolor; when the duster turns from a light blue to a light grey it's safe to assume that you need to switch to a new duster.

You can also just use the duster without its handle. The duster refill fits easily in your hand without its handle; and this can be useful when you're dusting off a low coffee table or an end table that has a book on it; indeed the duster refill can often work well alone without its handle when cleaning other surfaces. However, I wouldn't use this with cleansers such as Windex. For example, when cleaning a mirror with glass cleaner you might prefer to use something else like a soft, absorbent yet inexpensive washcloth or perhaps a soft paper towel.

I highly recommend the Swiffer duster refill packages for dusting around the house and other jobs--including what may be lesser known uses like cleaning old vinyl record albums. You can't go wrong!

The three ten count boxes of refills is cheaper than buying the regular product that 'dusts' the grocery shelves. This is my favorite duster. I have three extra large dogs so am constantly battling dust all over the place! These are great for every dusting job from the screen of the television set to the ceiling fan blades as well as furniture and molding. They seem to catch more particles of dust than a cloth of any type. Highly recommend!

Dust is a big problem for me because it triggers my allergies. I try to keep my environment as dust-free as possible by running an air filter 24/7 and by dusting frequently with a Swiffer duster.

- The Swiffer Duster Works
Traditional dusters and dusting cloths oftentimes just push dust around especially on surfaces where there's a heavy buildup of dust. Not the Swiffer. The Swiffer picks up dust so well that it requires just one or two passes to get any dusty surface completely free of dust. Once the dust is locked in the Swiffer, it stays locked in, so it won't get released back in the air.

The flexibility and fluffiness of the Swiffer allow you to easily get around office equipment, kitchen appliances, and other objects into all the nooks and crannies. It really makes light work of dusting tabletops, window ledges, window blinds, and other surfaces.

- How It Works
Each Swiffer duster comes out of the box looking more like a pad. It needs to be pre-fluffed before use. To fluff, grab both ends of the pad with the dusting surface up. Do not stretch it taut; leave some slack in the middle. Next, shake the duster vigorously by moving both hands in a see-saw motion. Now, your duster is all fluffed up and ready for use!

- Why It Works
A newly fluffed up duster resembles cotton candy. The airy mass of material is made up of a lattice-like network of countless frizzy strands of microfibers that are responsible for trapping the dust they pick up. These microfibers are also electrostatically charged to attract dust.

-- Comparisons --

> Swiffer vs. Traditional Duster
A traditional duster does not pick up dust as well as the Swiffer and some of what it picks up oftentimes get released back in the air! The Swiffer readily picks up dust in one or two passes. Once dust is locked in the Swiffer, it stays locked in.

> Swiffer vs. Microfiber Cloth
A microfiber cloth picks up dust very well, but its surface quickly gets saturated with dust and it quickly loses it's effectiveness. The Swiffer, on the other hand, can pick up and lock in a lot more dust before it needs to be replaced.

> Swiffer vs. Chemically Treated Cloth
The chemically treated dusting cloths often leave streaks on glass and other smooth surfaces. Not the Swiffer. Since the Swiffer works by using electrostatically-charged fibers, it won't leave streaks behind.

Of all the different types of dusting products I've tried, Swiffer works the best. I love how readily it picks up dust, and as someone with severe allergies, I can certainly appreciate the Swiffer duster's ability to lock the dust in to prevent it from being released back into the air. 5 stars!

Great product. I use it in the car, for the furniture, the trims..I love it

I like this duster. It does not catch on things and tear up. It really gets a lot of the dust in every nook and cranny.

These little duster thingys are terrific, really handy for a quick overview of the cleaning process when you are in a hurry.

Great product - attracts dust and makes dusting so much easier. Cheaper to buy this in bulk with the subscribe and save than it is to pick it up locally. Very pleased.

Good stuff, I like buying in bulk. Especially good quality stuff. Love the Swiffer and its products for quick and easy clean ups.

These blue ones are a Total rippppppp off! They Do Not have any dust collecting material (the fluffy stuff) on one side.
Get the yellow "Swiffer 360 Duster Refills" they have the fluffy dust collecting material on both sides; thus when fluffed all the way around -- 360º
Sneaky P&G, really sneaky.

Once I discovered Swiffer Duster it became one of my favorite cleaning products.

Why do I like it?
1. It picks up dust very well
2. Once you are done dusting, you can just toss it out - no need to worry where to shake out the dust
(like I have to do with my fancy baby lamb duster)
3. I absorbs a lot of dust without moving it around, even when I can see the dust on it, it still does a good job picking up new dust. Sometimes I don't toss it out after each use, if the job was not big enough. I just hang it as is until the next dusting job. It does not lose its grip on the old dust!
4. It is compact. The duster before it is fluffed up before us is flat and the holder is just a handle. To fluff it up you just need to shake it.
5. Sometimes I use it without the handle - on my computer screen, computer screen, window sills (i.e. items at my hand height anyway).

I found that the price on the on the duster fluctuates. There is a nice online tool that I use to help catch a good price on Amazon, this tool is called "Online Price Alert". This tool will send you an email when the Amazon item price reaches the target price range that you specify. If you search on "online price alert" in Google it will be come up at the top. I find this tool to be very helpful.
