Two Big Green Boxes arrived at my home recently, and my kids were super excited! They've seen commercials on TV that feature the Swiffer Big Green Boxes (I love those commercials!), so they couldn't wait until the boxes arrived at our home! We received the Big Green Boxes as part of the #SwifferDad campaign. Swiffer is great for my husband -- he is much neater than I am and loves the simplicity and effectiveness of the Swiffer Wet Jet mops.
