Swiffer 360 Duster, For You and Me
Welcome to our Swiffer 360 Duster giveaway! But first, a word from Marinka, one of The Mouthy Housewives!
I’ll be honest. Although I’m a Mouthy Housewife, I don’t actually enjoy the parts of housewifehood that involve cleaning. I don’t have anything against cleanliness per se, of course, it’s just that I prefer to spend my time doing other things, like eating bon bons and catching up on General Hospital. I mean, will Johnny figure out that Dante is Olivia’s son? I can’t miss that moment.
Anyway. My ban against housework recently took a big hit when my entire family conspired against me and started sneezing maniacally. My husband ran at top speed to an allergist, in case it was a case of the fatal sneezies and after many excruciating (for me) tests, we found out that he is allergic to dust mites. Now we have a cleaning lady coming in every week, but it’s been suggested that more frequent dusting may be in order.
Huh.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. Why not just divorce him and marry someone who doesn’t mind dust mites. That is certainly sound advice. But, I love him. And we have kids.
So I had to go with Plan B.
This is where the Swiffer 360 Duster came in and swept me off my feet. Well, I guess it swept the dust mites off their feet. (OMG, do they have feet?!)
The lovely people at MS& L Worldwide provided me with a hand held Swiffer 360 Duster which boasts having like a kazillion fluffy dust locking fibers that trap and and lock twice as much dust, pet hair and other stuff that makes us sneezy and unhappy.
Now, I’ll admit that it’s hard for me to get excited about a duster, but this one was fun to use. Because it looks a little like a magic wand, I sort of waltzed around the apartment, dusting theatrically, pretending that the birds were singing to me. The pros are that it’s easy to reach into tight places and it’s very easy to use. The huge pros are that the dust doesn’t fly around, but sticks the the Duster. The super huge pros are that my husband seemed to have stopped sneezing maniacally. But maybe that’s because I put a pillow over his head?
At any rate, this Mouthy Housewife feels fantastic recommending this product to you. And Swiffer, if you’re listening? If you could make the handle dispense bon bons, I’d be yours for always!
And that’s not all. The Swiffer 360 Duster can be yours! All you have to do is leave a comment in this post incorporating a word that rhymes with “Swiffer” or “duster” into a sentence and we’ll pick ten winners.

Tip of the Week
If you’ve called in sick to work, but have been really enjoying a much needed mental health day, make sure to leave off your make up when you return to the office. You bare face will lend credibility to the “under the weather” excuse and you will look like you’re just getting over that little something.

Works Every Time
If your pants are wrinkled and you can’t iron to save your life, tell people they are made of a new type of linen fabric, imported, very expensive, but you can’t remember the name or its country of origin, and then quickly offer them an orange to distract them.
