Customer Reviews of Swiffer Sweeper 2 in 1 Mop and Broom Floor Cleaner Starter Kit
Customer Review: Good idea - poor quality
Summary: 3 Stars
The best I like about it is that you _don't have to use special pads_ - doubled bounty and a bottle of Windex will cost you much less. Actually Windex is an overkill - some ammonia with water in a spray bottle is sufficient in most cases.
Also good for windows washing.
Now the bad news is that this piece of crap would break in a few months no matter how careful you're. I'm on 4th swiffer now, usually handle goes first.
If you happen to find it in some discount store for $5 or so, buy a few at once.
Customer Review: Good for dust and hair.
Summary: 3 Stars
I don't really use the dry mop option because I usually have more than dust on the floor to sweep up. And it really only traps dust and hair... that's it. I usually use it for wet mopping my kitchen and bathroom. I have a very small kitchen (apartment), so it is great for mopping my kitchen floor. Wouldn't recommend using it on anything bigger than a small kitchen or bathroom. For bigger mopping jobs use the swiffer wet jet. Haven't tryed the sweep and vac, but I figure it would be a better option for sweeping.Customer Review: Description should be better/clearer
Summary: 3 Stars
I have bought a Swiffer starter kit earlier and I have no issues with the product. However I feel that the description of the item is insufficient. This a a 2 in 1 starter kit. (even though it is priced higher than the 3 in 1 starter kit available on and sold by Amazon itself). I would have never ordered it if I knew this. Both these items are available for a dollar lesser (each) in costco (without any coupon).Customer Review: Like the Wet Version not Dry
Summary: 3 Stars
I feel like the dry cloths do almost nothing. Maybe if we had dirtier floors they'd work better. The dry cloths always leave dirt behind and cause much more trouble than they are worth.
However I do like the wet cloths. They are extremely useful for mopping our tile floors and especially good for quick touch ups. I also really like the smell of the "clean scent."
Customer Review: It has some value
Summary: 2 Stars
I hate to be dissing the Swiffer...but it's an OK product, not great or earth changing.
I tried it the first time yesterday on my kitchen floor that has not been cleaned in weeks. It did pick up dirt (I used 3 pads) but in no way is it as good as using a mop and water. I went over the area two or three times and was still picking up more dirt.
It did work nicely in the bathroom. I am satisfied with how clean my bathroom floor is.
I think it's handy for quick pick ups here and there or a quick refreshing but it does not replace the mop and water by any means.
I am also not sure about the chemicals. I never buy mainstream cleaning products (toxic and tested on innocent animals) so it was unusual for me to buy this product. I think I'll go back to my Dr. Bronner's Peppermint soap mop and water cleaning for the bathroom and or try the microfiber towels for the Swiffer. I have not tried the dry wipes yet.
For those with animals...please keep in mind how chemical cleaners harm your animals. Animals are close to the floor and pick up the fumes easily. If they could tell you they would on how it's hard on them. It's really best to use natural cleaners (vinegar and water, Dr. Bronners) than mainstream cleaning products.
