Operating Instructions: Dry Sweeping

Use dry sweeping cloths to trap and lock dirt, dust, and hair from your floors.

1. Lay a dry sweeping cloth flat on the floor.
2. Place the Swiffer Sweeper mop head onto the center of the cloth.
3. Fold the edges of the cloth over the sides of the mop head and tuck them into the grippers on top.
4. Begin sweeping your floors in long, even strokes. The cloth's textured surface will attract and hold debris.

3. Place the Swiffer Sweeper mop head onto the center of the pad.

Troubleshooting & Important Warnings

• Wet Cloths Usage: Do not use Swiffer Sweeper wet cloths on unfinished, oiled, or waxed wooden boards, non-sealed tiles, or carpeted floors. These surfaces may be sensitive to moisture or cleaning solutions.
• Pad Drying Out: If wet pads dry out too quickly, ensure they are stored in their sealed packaging until ready for use. For larger areas, multiple wet pads may be required.
• Ineffective Dirt Pickup (Dry): Ensure the dry cloth is properly tucked into all four grippers on the mop head. For heavily soiled areas, pre-sweep with a broom or vacuum before using the Swiffer Sweeper.
