How to Empty a Pledge Fabric Sweeper

The Pledge Fabric Sweeper is a cleaning product made by SC Johnson. Just slide it using short strokes, about 8 to 12 inches in each direction, on your target area. The rollers on the bottom of the enclosed plastic container rotate to trap and lift animal hair. At the time of publication, the average cost for a Pledge Fabric Sweeper was less than $5. However, to help the environment and save money, you can empty and reuse the device.
