Review of Pledge Furniture Polish


Did you know?

While nearly two-thirds of adults (64%) say their living room is where they and their family spends most of their time, less than half (49%) dust the living room on a weekly basis, and only one in four adults knows that household allergens can lead to serious health problems.

If you visit my home, you're bound to see a few dust bunnies peering out from behind a piece of furniture (they love hanging out under the couch.) What you won't see is me spending a lot of time trying to get rid of them -- because I don't have to.

I have always been a Pledge fan. To me, there is no substitute. (It is proven to eliminate up to 84% of dangerous household allergens found in dust.) With a little guy with allergies running through the home, I have to know that my dusting product will really work. I always keep a bottle on hand for dusting duty. Here are some of the ways I use it in my home:

  • Spray the end of my broom and use it to wipe off the top of the fan blades (Short people have their resources!)
  • Spray an odd sock for getting behind the entertainment center and in places where only my hand will fit
  • Spray a micr0fiber dusting cloth and attach it to the bottom of my slippers! Then I slide around on the floor, giving my dusty laminate a bit of shine. (Be careful you don't use too much.. it will make your floor slippery!)
How would you use Pledge in your home? Tell us on this post, and you will be entered to win one of two (2) gift packs from Pledge, each containing a bottle of Dust & Allergen formula, a bottle of regular Pledge, and a $25 Target gift card!

You have until this Sunday, November 30th at 5pm CST to get your entries in. Giveaway is subject to complete site rules. (Be sure to give us a way to reach you if you win, and remember that we will never use your email or contact info for anything other than to send your prize.) Good luck!

I use pledge, not the wipes, just good ol' pledge from the can and a rag. I do my furniture every week, on sunday. We have a woodstove so it throws out a lot of dust!

Jenssequa@aol.com said...

I have used Pledge for years. Now that it helps control allergins, I will use it more frequently. I am always sensitive to dust. It makes it difficult for me to breathe and hurts my eyes, causing them to be red and irritated. If I win this Pledge, I will use it at least 1-2 times a week to keep allergins down in my home. As a loyal Pleadge user, I will always use Pledge to keep dust and allergins under control in my home!

Pledge has been a household name in my family for years. It makes my fine (and not so fine) wood furniture sparkle, I would continue to use it to keep my heirloom dining room set clean & dust free.I love that familiar lemon-y scent, too.I would love to win this, thanks for the entry!

nickyle said...

I would use it everywhere I have wood....which is a lot of places in my house (living room, table, mantle, door frames, doorbell box, bedroom, dressers, night stands...everywhere).

I do though have a pet peeve, it is when people spray the Pledge (or the like) on the surface they are going to dust. Well when you sprayed you just stirred up the dust so by the time you finish dusting the dust is going to settle back down on the surface. It is best to spray your rag (or dust cloth...I use old rags) with the product then wipe your surface, you are catching the dust/dirt instead of putting it back up in the air.

Both of my children have allergies, I have had to relearn how to do some things around the house so they can breathe easier.

Thank you for the chance to win.

Happy Holidays

Qtpies7 said...

I use it on my bedroom furniture because I am allergic to dust and have to keep my wood waterbed frame dust free. We also have a house that is almost entirely wood floors. That does help reduce allergies, but it makes for a lot of dusting.

THERESEA said...

IF IT CAN GET DUST ON IT WELL, MOSTLY I USED PLEDGE. NOW , MY HUSBAND USES THIS IN HIS MACHINE SHOP. IT HELPS THE MACHINES GLIDE OVER THE METAL THAT IS BEING MILLED AND KEEPS THE MILLINGS FROM BEING TOO AIR BORN. GOSH, I HOPE THIS ISN'T A TRADE SECRET.

My house is 88 years old, and has a lot of old-fashioned woodwork, including two mantles and a built-in china cabinet. I have this strange ball-shaped duster on a telescoping wand for cleaning the woodwork I can't reach, but all it does is move the dust. I'd wrap that cleaner in cheesecloth and give it a good spray of Pledge.
