Shedding is a natural part of dog ownership. Due to a thick double coat, Golden Retrievers like SUGAR are known to shed. Regular grooming minimizes shedding, and using Swiffer® products to clean our home helps us manage pet hair on the floor and furniture.

Pet hair from a double-coated dog can be found everywhere. Keeping a clean house can be a constant battle. Here are two strategies I use to deal with pet hair in my house.
How to Use a Swiffer to Clean Dog Hair from Floors?
The Swiffer Sweeper, Swiffer WetJet, and Swiffer Duster aren’t among the household cleaning supplies and tools that can be harmful to your dog.
Speaking of which, a claim that surfaced via email in the early 2000s claimed that the Swiffer WetJet’s chemicals were thought to be to blame for a dog’s demise, but this claim has been refuted numerous times.
The Swiffer WetJet contains water (90-100%), propylene glycol n-propyl ether or propylene glycol n-butyl ether, and isopropyl alcohol (1-4%)—ingredients that are safe to use around your dog.
Although the WetJet and Swiffer Sweeper are both safe to use around pets, the wet pads may release a strong odor while cleaning, so it’s best to keep your dog (or dogs) away and ensure the space is well ventilated.
The cleaning solution could be toxic, so you should read the label instructions before using the Swiffer WetJet, but your dog is probably smart enough not to ingest it.
Keep Swiffer cloths out of your dog’s reach because they can result in gastrointestinal blockage if consumed.
Discovering The Best Swiffer Buys for Dog Moms
For years, I used a dry microfiber mop that was similar to Swiffer, but I’ve never owned one. The cleaning pads had to be washed in between uses, and I had to smack the mop against the stairs in my backyard to get the hair off. It was a pain in the butt!.
I don’t know why I waited so long to get a Swiffer, but when I saw that they have a new Heavy Duty Pet line available at Walmart it seemed like the perfect reason to give it a shot. The special pet products are available for the Swiffer Sweeper (for both wet and dry cloths) and the 180 Duster. So I got both!
I immediately appreciated how wonderful it is to be able to discard the cleaning cloth covered in hair and dirt after I’m done. Every few days, dark brown dog hair tumbleweeds gather in the corners. Another benefit is that Febreze odor defense is integrated into the cloth, so it freshens as I clean and leaves a light scent afterward. If I’m going to keep up with it, I need to make it easy. Burt approves!.
The new product line was created specifically with dog (and cat) moms in mind, and it traps and locks in more pet hair than ever. I don’t have many things to compare it to since this is my first Swiffer sweeper, but I can assure you that it is much better than the microfiber dry mop I was using before. I walked around barefoot on my hardwood floors after using the Swiffer, and they felt clean. And that’s just with the dry cloth!.
Burt and Lucy are completely unfazed by my new cleaning tools, as you can see. They just lounge while I clean around them. Burt even observed me using the 360 Duster to clean the spaces in between my stair railings. This duster made the difficult task of vacuuming up dog hair in those tiny crevices much simpler.
360-Degree Swivel Head
Given that your dog is possibly the only person in your home who likes to curl up under furniture and tables, there will undoubtedly be dog hair in these places.
It takes quite a bit of effort to clean places where dog hair hides, but not with the Swiffer Sweeper, thanks to its on-site 360-degree swivel head. Use a lint roller to remove dog hair from furniture that has been covered in it.
Key Features:
The Swiffer Sweeper’s remarkable ability to remove dog hair from floors is made possible by its cloth refills.
Each cloth has a special groove and texture that removes any kind of dog hair with just one wipe, allowing you to reclaim your floors.
