CINCINNATI--()--Acclaimed singer, songwriter, author and mom, Jewel, joins Swiffer® to unveil her own unique spin on the popular family “Clean-Up Song” in celebration of the new Swiffer® Sweep & Trap. The Sweep & Trap makes everyday clean-up easier than ever before by efficiently picking up small and large particles in a single swipe with no batteries, cords or power supply required.

The Sweep & Trap technology features soft rotating beater blades designed to scoop up large particles, such as crumbs and craft remnants, into an easily removable dirt bin for quick disposal. As the larger particles are swept up, the Swiffer Sweeper dry cloth simultaneously traps and locks away fine dirt and small particles, leaving floors clean from everyday messes – big or small – in a single swipe. Whether it’s cleaning up after kids’ parties or combating everyday messes, the Sweep & Trap helps ensure that cleaning should never feel like a chore.

“As an artist, I love teaching my son through hands-on experiences, which often means making messes,” said Jewel. “So, when it comes time to clean up, I look for tools like the Sweep & Trap that makes it efficient and easy, leaving me with more time and energy to play with my son. In our home, we often sing while we clean up, so I’m excited to unveil my own version of the classic family clean-up tune to celebrate this launch with Swiffer.”

Jewel joined Swiffer today at Make Meaning, a NYC-based entertainment and event destination for kids, to launch the Sweep & Trap. The singer-songwriter premiered the new “Clean-Up Song,” presented by Swiffer, with a live performance for the children in attendance, who also enjoyed a variety of educational, edible and downright messy activities. After crafting, Jewel and the Swiffer clean-up crew removed leftover popcorn, cereal, crumbs and large craft particles using the new Swiffer Sweep & Trap. Jewel’s acoustic performance video and free download of the “Clean-Up Song,” presented by Swiffer, will be available tomorrow on the Swiffer Facebook page, www.facebook.com/swiffer.

The Swiffer Sweep & Trap Starter Kit is available for $19.99 at mass merchandise outlets, grocery retailers, home improvement stores and e-retail sites throughout the U.S. Pricing is at the sole discretion of the retailer.
