Customer Reviews of Swiffer Sweeper 2 in 1 Mop and Broom Floor Cleaner Starter Kit
Customer Review: If you despise, & avoid, wet-mopping your kitchen floor as much as I do.....
Summary: 4 Stars
Frankly, I don't want to admit how long it's been since I mopped my 60 y.o. linoleum kitchen floor. It's a small kitchen, maybe 7"x8", but there's always so much cleaning--& yardwork-- to do inside & out of my old s.f. house that I somehow avoid mopping the kitchen floor like the plague. (I do vacuum, & "spot clean" the kitchen floor ).
Anyway, I'd had the bucket, & sponge-mop sitting in the kitchen for too long--w/o doing the job of course--& when I went to my local "warehouse club" & they had a great deal on the dry, & wet, refills for this thing, I bought them. (I then had to go to another store to buy the actual "starter kit" with the handle, go figure).
Today I started using the wet pads to clean the kitchen floor (after vaccuming). Right now, I'm about 2 hours in to it, & have used maybe 6 of the wet pads. I can't tell that it's one bit easier than using a sponge-mop & a bucket; maybe even less so, but it's such an unpleasant job that it's like debating which kind of root canal is best.
OTOH: 1. With the swiffer, you could clean a small portion of the floor at a time, & not fill a bucket with cleaner & water, & then have to dispose of it. 2. If you lived in a condo, the swiffer items would take up less space. 3. "normal people" who mop their kitchen floors on a regular basis might find the swiffer more time-effective. 4. I don't know which is more eco-friendly--disposing of a few swiffer wet pads, or a bucket of filthy water with cleaning fluid--I'd almost bet on the swiffer wet pads.......
Customer Review: Great for hardwood floors!
Summary: 4 Stars
I live with two dogs and a cat, all of which shed like mad. Before finding the Swiffer, I had to lug the vacuum around and use the extension to suck all the fur off of my hardwood floors - and that didn't even pick up most of the hair. Now, I use the Swiffer twice a week and my floors are hair-free. Granted, the pads tend to fill with hair quickly, and I end up going through two each time I clean the house. To extend their life, I pick large clumps of hair off the pad as I go and use both sides of each pad as well. They're also great for dusting (no cleaning solutions required), and sometimes I'll use the pads for light dusting and then clean the floors with them. The Swiffer is great for cleaning those hard-to-reach places, too - especially under the bed. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it's not quite as good picking up dirt - it can tend to just push the dirt around. But overall, it's certainly better than using a broom!Customer Review: an absolute must have, but with one problem
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great way to clear hardwood floors and also kitchen linoleum. It is quick and easy. It's also a breeze on your back, since you do not have to bend over. My chiropractor really appreciated this aspect. ;)
The only problem I have with this is that the swiffer sheets get covered very quickly. While I love the convenience of it, I question the environmental impact.
Customer Review: buy Swiffer but not their wet or dry pads; use microfiber pads
Summary: 3 Stars
I move to a 1000 sq ft apatment with almost all white tiles and it was so difficult to clean. I needed something and thought the Swiffer would help. Their wet pads just pushed dirt all over, left dirt lines and didn't even clean around the grout lines even though I went through the area first with the dry pads for dirt. I would go through ~10 wet pads to "clean" my floors plus I would then have to go over the entire floor with my mircofiber towels. That did the job so I thought if I can replace their pads with a microfiber pads, it might work so I went on Amazon and found a microfiber cleaning pad, Tersano cleaning cloths and they fit the Swiffer head snuggly, not the XL. It works!!! I don't have to continuously buy the chemical or dry pads to fill our landfills. The Tersano cloth pads are washable and because it thicker and absorbent, it cleans much better and doesn't deposit dirt in the floor grouts. The investment in the Tersano pads was ~$6.00 and the original Swiffer starter kit was ~$11; not bad considering a typical sponge mop is ~$18 and are horrible on tile. Buy the Swiffer but don't waste money or time with their wet or dry pads.Customer Review: Buy swifter but not their wet or dry pads; use with microfiber pads
