Do anyone use Swiffer cleaning products? I think it’s better. I used to have some.

I thought the pads were impregnated with harmful chemicals.

I used them sometimes when I did custodial type stuff at a sporting goods store. They got dust off the shelves & signs on the front of the aisles

I like to use Swiffer. The ASPCA says it is safe to use around pets.

I used to have a Swiffer mop where you inserted a bottle of cleaner into it, and it would spray the cleaner over the floor mopped it. I found it so much easier to mop all the floors in my apartment with it and you don't need to dip it in a bucket full of filthy water, but then it broke and was useless.

Then later I bought a mop similar to the Swiffer mop except you could put whatever cleaning substance you wanted in it and it came with pads that are washable and can be reused, and it doesn't need batteries, but then the handle that pumps the water out is no longer working and now it's useless, too. :x

So I go a Bee Mop, which is like a sponge with a handle that squeezes the water out, but you need to use a bucket to dip it in, and I find it a real pain to use.

I don't know how my mother does it. When she cleans the floors at her house they look beautiful and perfect. Whenever I mop there are ugly streaks everywhere even though I try not to use too much soap or anything. She must just have high-quality floors unlike the ones in my apartment. They look perfect even before she cleans them.

I used to have Swiffer mop too, it was easy to use, but the batteries, you have to make sure you have enough batteries. I had more Swiffer products, I had the duster & duster for the ceiling fan,but it was hard to get the pads on to clean.

They work great but they aren't built to last.

Am I looking for the wrong Swiffers?
