At twelve weeks she is just a baby, too young to understand "no". They explore their world with their mouth. Biting, chewing and "attacking" are what puppies do, how they play with one another. You using a Swiffer or wiping with paper towels looks like a game to her.

I'd suggest crating or penning her while you are cleaning, etc. It will keep her safe, too.

Ignoring her is the best way to deal with inappropriate biting. That's what her dog mom did. She will learn that the fun stops when she bites.
