I have severe arthritis in my spine with severe pain 24/7. Cleaning causes intense pain. I have a swiffer but I do not use the cleaning pads they sell. I like my floors to be "cleaner". I purchase cheap packs of wash cloths at Walmart and use them as swiffer pads on my swiffer sweeper. I have a spray bottle with 1/2 strength lemon Pine Sol. I wet the wash cloth and put it on the sweeper. I then spray the Pine Sol solution on the floor and mop. Gets my floor super clean. Then, I toss the wash cloth in the washer. If they get too bad, I just throw them away.

I have fibro, and can't stand many scents.  For cleaning the floors, I use a Shark Steam mop and I have the hand held Shark steamer for cleaning counter tops, etc.  The Shark cleans using just water.  Usually if I need a cleaner, I use vinegar.
