Ken truly does use them for cleaning the sensor on his E-1 and maybe
others too. I contacted Swiffer years ago about them producing a sensor
cleaning product. They replied that they thought it was an interesting
idea but had no prior knowledge of the subject. They also didn't know
if the chemical coating on the Swiffers might react in some way with the
coatings on the sensor filters. Nothing has come of it that I know of
but who knows... maybe they're working on it. Meanwhile I'll stick to
the Sensor-Klear for cleaning sensors. Works better than anything else
I've tried.... provided you use a scary amount of pressure.
