I use to get down on my hands and knees to clean my kitchen floor before I bought my Swiffer. Since then, I have religiously stuck to my Swiffer. The cleaning solution smells really fresh and it makes my whole house smell really clean and fresh. It is quite expensive to lay out the original costs for a Swiffer but the ease of using it far outweighs the financial cost. I was so forceful pushing down on my Swiffer the other week that I broke the handle, I was so disappointed.
