Growing up, I was fortunate enough to have a mom who stayed home.  Unfortunately, there was a point in time where both my parents had to work. 

During the day, I would spend a lot of time sitting around watching TV but I liked being able to pitch in around the house.  So each afternoon when all that was on was soaps - literally, we only had 4 channels - I would do laundry and other cleaning tasks so my mom wouldn't have to.

One of my favorite things to do was dust.  It was fun to spray Pledge on the furniture then wipe it off.  I know it sounds silly but I enjoyed crawling under the formal dining table to make it all shiny and beautiful.  I also recall a few ornate end tables and a stand that held our family bible that were the most time consuming to clean.  When I would spray the Pledge, I couldn't just swipe the rag and go.  It only took a second to see the white wherever I missed a spot.  But when I was done, it sure looked nice.

Although the can may have changed all these years later, the quality of the product still holds true.  When Pledge is applied to a piece of furniture, you can have confidence that it won't have dust sticking to it the next day.  It left a beautiful finish when I used it twenty-some years ago... and it still does.  Except now they have added several additional varieties to their product line so you can choose between wipes, cans, sprays and dusters in a variety of scents and specialized applications.

I was excited to be selected by Family Review Network to participate in this blog tour because it's a product I believe in.  My mom used it all those years ago so I was destined (umm dustined) to use it too.  I'm also very proud to have an extra can to give away to one of my readers (thanks to SC Johnson)!

    I think the Pledge Multi Surface dusters are the best! The grabbing and trapping fibers of the duster pick up dust and the allergens found in dust from dust mites and pet dander. Thank you!

    I love the Pledge wipes and I did not know that they provide some protection against spills, stains, and wear. That's a bonus.
