Bonjour Michael !
As the lesson states, when passer is followed by a direct object - i.e. to pass [something], it will use the auxiliary avoir in compound tenses:
J'ai passé la serpillère ce matin.
Il a passé l'aspirateur dans sa chambre.
I hope that's helpful! Il a passé l'aspirateur dans sa chambre.
Bonne journée !

Also passer un chiffon , une éponge.... all to do with cleaning .
Not to be confused with 'Passer l'éponge ' which means let bygones be bygones!
