Pros: leaves a delightful fragrance in my home; fantastic shine and cleaning
Cons: not as inexpensive as some other dusting sprays
The Bottom Line: While the fragrance it leaves in my home is delightful that would mean nothing if the product itself wasn't fantastic. Try it out for yourself!

| bops_mom's Full Review: Swiffer Dust and Shine |
I’ve been a huge fan of Swiffer ever since they came out with their Swiffer Sweeper which quickly became a staple in my home and remains one to this day. Ever since then pretty much any product they’ve come out with – I’ve wanted to try. Some I’ve really liked while only one or two weren’t what I needed.
When I received an e-mail asking if I wanted to try out the latest Swiffer product – their Dust & Shine I jumped on the chance.
Product Info
Swiffer Dust & Shine is touted as a furniture spray that will clean, shine and condition surfaces. According to the can it’s made to be used on wood, wood laminate, marble, leather and granite.
Swiffer Dust & Shine is available in three scents – Lavender Vanilla, Tropical Breeze and Citrus Zest. The bottle holds 9.7 oz of product and retails for $4.00 to $5.00.
My Experience and Take on Swiffer Dust & Shine in Lavender Vanilla Scent
I honestly didn’t know what to expect from Swiffer Dust & Shine. Since getting my DVR I very rarely watch commercials so I was completely unaware of the company’s claims. I figured it would just replace my regular dusting spray and might add some shine. Then again, my regular dusting spray says it adds shine too.
My apartment was quite dusty the first time I used Swiffer Dust & Shine. I followed the directions and sprayed a little onto a clean cloth and got to work. The first thing I noticed was of course the scent. The next thing that very quickly became apparent was the shine. The lighting in my living is not the best at the moment but it was obvious that my furniture had a very pretty glossy sheen to it. I was impressed! It cleaned well, too and didn’t seem to leave any residue which I can find with other dusting sprays. I can’t really say it helps with the dust any better than any other dusting spray product but given the choice I would choose Swiffer Dust & Shine over all the others.
I tend to shy away from scented cleaning products as I have allergies and my son has allergies and asthma. I’m also not a fan of things with a lavender scent. Lavender scents stink in my opinion, not to mention how they set off my allergies something terrible. Keeping that in mind it somewhat surprised me that I have only had a wonderful experience with Swiffer Dust & Shine. The scent is a soft, sweet vanilla that is exactly mild but not over powering. There is something else mixed in with that vanilla scent (must be the lavender) but it does not smell floral to me. I love how after using this product my home is left smelling like I’d lit a candle for fragrance. The scent fades seems to last for about 24 hours before fading entirely away.
Mmm, kay. So?
I’ve had the pleasure of using Swiffer Dust & Shine several times now. Because of the delight fragrance combined with how nice my furniture looks (there really is noticeable shine) I find I don’t mind dusting nearly as much as I used to. Swiffer Dust & Shine is a bit pricier than some other dusting sprays – weather it’s worth it or not is something you’d have to find out for yourself. I don’t go through that may bottles each year so I plan to purchase another can of Swiffer Dust & Shine when this one runs out. I may just be temped to try out another scent next time, too.
Two thumbs up Swiffer! Your Dust & Shine is a big hit in my home!
Please note: I received a bottle of Swiffer Dust & Shine at no cost to myself in exchange for my personal usage and honest review of the product.
