Most of you probably know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. With the current statistic of one in eight women being diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime it’s more important than ever that women are aware of how important early detection is. It’s recommended that women perform a self exam on the breasts once a month and get an annual mammogram once a year after turning 35.

Procter & Gamble has teamed up with the National Breast Cancer Foundation to launch Give Hope. Give Hope is a program designed to encourage early breast cancer detection and to raise funds and awareness for the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF). The NBCF is a national organization with the goal of education the public on breast cancer and helping provide mammograms for those in need. Women are encouraged to visit www.mypinkplan.com to set up a personal plan for themselves, including reminders for self-exams, clinical exams and mammograms. My Pink Plan is a collaborative effort between Proctor and Gamble and NBCF.

Earlier this month there was a brandSAVER insert in the newspaper containing coupons on many Proctor and Gamble products including Swiffer, Tide, Downy and Bounce. For each coupon redeemed from this insert a 2 cent donation will be made to National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. (NBCF). A number of the products will be available in a limited edition pink color for Breast Cancer Awareness month. Swiffer is one of these products.

As part of the Give Hope program, for the first time ever the Swiffer brand has gone pink and is offering limited edition dusters and sweepers.

From the website – Regular dry cloths and feather dusters can let dust fly. But Swiffer Dusters 360°, Swiffer Dusters, and Swiffer Dusters Extendable use fluffy fibers to trap and lock dust and allergens (from cats, dogs, and dustmites) in deep corners and crevices, leaving you with nothing but a deep clean.

We received a Swiffer Duster Starter Kit for this review. I’d never used a Swiffer Duster before so I was curious how it worked. The Starter Kit came with one handle and five dusters. The duster is easy to use. Just slide the two prongs of the “fork” into the pockets in the Swiffer dust cloth and you’re ready to go.

The ergonomic handle is fairly comfortable to hold. I was very pleased with how well the Swiffer Duster worked. I used it on the ceiling fan and light, the television, the stereo and some picture frames. It was soft and gentle enough that I wasn’t afraid it would break anything. It grabbed a LOT of dust and the final results were quite noticeable.

The Swiffer site offers product information, cleaning tips and product coupons.
