Swiffer

Brand of mop

Swiffer is a brand of cleaning products, particularly lightweight mops with disposable pads for dry dusting or wet mopping hard floors.

The name has become somewhat generic for this type of quick-clean tool: I need to Swiffer the kitchen before guests arrive.

The verb means to clean with such a device or make a quick pass over a surface.
