Swiffer

Posted on May 27, 2009 by Andi

I have a Swiffer Wet Jet that I used a lot in our first house with all the hard floors. In our second place we had mostly carpet and just a couple hard floor areas, so it didn't get much attention. (Plus, I really shouldn't spray wet things onto my hardwood floors.) Now that I have more hardwood floors (which I LOVE), I needed to find something better to clean it…or get up some of the stuff. I was going to get a Swiffer Sweeper Vacuum, but the reviews weren't great on them. So I went with the Swiffer Sweeper. This doesn't pick up any chunks. It's just like sweeping your floor…ONLY BETTER! You still have to sweep things into a pile and then vacuum them up or use a dustpan. But the dirt is something the Swiffer can get that the broom can't.

I was so grossed out when I used it the first time and saw how dirty the swiffer sheet was. Granted we had been moving and walking in the house, so it was expected that it was a little dirty, but YUK! I was similarly grossed out when we got our Dyson vacuum and I saw all the stuff that picked up. But I was disgusted in a good way…because think of all of that stuff that isn't on my floor anymore! So I went from disgust to elation! 🙂

Chuck likes to go barefoot around the house and I always have socks on because my feet are so cold. So I didn't notice the small things on the wood floor. I have been barefoot more often since we moved in to this house, and after using the Swiffer Sweeper, I could immediately feel the difference and didn't notice the small pieces a broom would have missed. Also, since our floors are so dark, I notice the little pieces of things on the floor that I might have missed before. Therefore, making me want to use it more. 🙂

So the moral of the story is…I hate cleaning and this will make me clean more. I have even taken it out while dinner is cooking to do a quick sweep. I am not one for quick sweeps…EVER! Now if I could just find something I loved this much to clean bathrooms with! 🙂
