Hello Pam! We understand your concern regarding the changes to the Swiffer Duster products. The evolution of our duster line is aimed at enhancing performance and meeting consumer needs more effectively. For instance, in 2025, we started converting to a new version of the Heavy Duty Dusters that includes special Dust Busting Strips. These strips are designed to help break up built-up dust, making it easier for the gather strips to pick up dust effectively. If you have any more questions or concerns, feel free to reach out at (800) 742-9220!
