Product Reviews of Swiffer Sweeper 2 in 1 Mop and Broom Floor Cleaner Starter Kit
Product 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!Product Review: Happy Customer

Summary: 5 Stars
I remember some years ago when the Swiffer came out and was being marketed by Tupperware; it seemed really cool and futuristic and it still does! The Swiffer sweeper probably cannot replace your broom because some things are just too big to be picked up, but it does a great job at picking up anything a regular broom missed so all you need is a quick, imperfect sweep and then running the Swiffer over your floor will leave it clean and bare.
The swiffer is especially good for picking up hair and dust and, with hair, rather than getting stuck to broom bristles, dragging all over the floor and becoming icky, you never see it again once it sticks to the Swiffer cloth. I love the use this in my bathroom where a broom would fail to clean up the dust, lint and hair which make up the majority of the dirt on the floor.
Unlike a regular broom, which you also have to clean after use (fuzz, hair and general "ick"), just pull off the cleaning cloth and you're done - unless, that is, you want to mop with the Sweeper and then you can put on the wet cleaning pads and mop away.
Although thee sweeper is extremely light, it feels pretty durable and is also easy on my hands, unlike some brooms which leave my hands sore, with rash or marked.
The Starter kit comes with the sweeper and dry and wet clothes. I'd never used a Swiffer with the wet cloths but do own the Swiffer Wet Jet. I must say, the regular old Swiffer with the wet cloths might do a better job, faster and easier!
It's also easy to put together. It's common sense and you needn't even look at the directions. Just snap the metal poles together to form the handle and to attach to the sweeper part and you're done! The handle even has a hook on the end to hang up in your closet or pantry.
The rooms I use my Swiffer one are pretty small: kitchen, bathroom and laundry area so one dry cloth picked up everything without a problem but the wet cloth wasn't quite enough to mop all 3. If you have larger rooms or a lot of dirt, sweeping first (or only sweeping) might be a better option for you.
However, for me, this lightweight sweeper is a great supplement (and possibly) replacement which makes sweeping and mopping quick, easy and hassle free! I would definitely recommend this to anyone sick of the broom and mop method!
Product 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.......
Product 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.
