    Staubwedel

    hello!

    I am looking for a good translation for Staubwedel(in reference to a swiffer not a feather duster). It is not a feather duster really but german refer to is as a Staubwedel.

    I thought of just using the product name... but is doesn't fit when you are actually trying to describe what a swiffer is to someone who hasn't used one before. What is it called then??

    Any ideas??

    swiffer is a modern/other form of a mop

    also naß

    Staubwedel sind trocken, das andere ist der Mop, kein Staubwedel, sondern Staubaufwischer.

    Ist es nur der (lose) Vorgänger des swiffers, dann heißt das Ding bei uns Schrubblump oder Putzlappen (naß).

    It's really just a 'duster', though you get a 'Swiffer' duster as well

    Shop All Swiffer Products | Swiffer


    The yellow thing on a stick the german site calls Staubwedel appears as 'duster' for US customers.


    A duster is a generic term for an item used for dusting.

    A feather duster is just one design, a duster can just as well be a soft cloth used dry.

    Just look at the product descriptions on Swiffer's English language sites and contrast with German product descriptions

    Wenn man sich Verkaufsangebote für "Swiffer" ansieht, dann ist die Bezeichnung "Staubwedel" äußerst selten und wirkt wie ein "misnomer". Ich würde nichts Staubwedel nennen, das nicht wie ein "feather duster" an einer Stange aussieht und mit dem man in der Luft herumwedeln kann. Für Bodenwischaktionen dominierten die Bezeichnungen "Wischtuch", "Staubwischer", "Wischer" und "Bodenreinigungstuch"

    Du hast es nicht kapiert. Es gibt verschiedene Sorten Swiffer, die Bodentücher und auch Staubwedel.

    Ich habe immer noch nicht verstanden, warum man ein Fahrzeug Staublappen nennt. Wenn ich so einen Duster sehe frage ich mich immer, ob es den auch in hell gibt.

    it's a disposable duster or a disposable dusting wand, isn't it?
    My problem with mop is that a mop (generally) has a pole and is used on the floor

    Aber es ist ja gerade nicht der Bodenwischer-Swiffer gemeint: https://www.bueromarkt-ag.de/bodenwischer_swi...


    sondern vielmehr der "Staubmagnet": https://www.viking.de/de/p/1017166?customerTy...
