I prefer swiffer too! But to be fair, my husband's the one using it most of the time
I use a mop! Got a Swiffer sample in the mail to review, tried it out, then went over with a mop. The mop won! Great for spot cleaning. Once a month I use a mop, ammonia/water to remove floor wax and a sponge mop to put new wax down. Can't do that with a Swiffer.
Definitely Swiffer! Can be wet or dry to get dirt or dust! Nmoving dirt around - when it gets dirty, just toss! Perfect!
The Swifter for sure
Swiffer is quicker and no washing after just throw away the wipes sheet.
SWIFFER for vinyl planking at work and home!
I much prefer mop. Swiffer leaves a film on your floor.
Mop...Doesn't make sense to me to PAY for something that isn't as efficient as mop. I feel the same way about paper towels. I would rather wash my mop head and rags than keep buying them.
Swiffer for quick clean up. Mop for a better clean up. I'm not a fan of the Swiffer scent. Wish they'd change scent or give the consumer a few other choices.
Swiffer!! . Hands and knees with a bucket for deep cleaning
Swiffer - absolutely
Swiffer is only good for picking up the loose stuff, like dust & it's too much of a pain in the butt to get out for a small clean up. Only if I'm in a bit of a hurry do I use mine.
I use a Swiffer for quick clean up, but I feel I can get a deep down clean with a spin mop!
Got an electric steam mop for my tiled floors, much better.
I use an electric steam mop with a vinegar and water mixture. Clean and freshen at the same time you are removing the dirt!
Both. I use the mop for weekly cleaning, then the swiffer in between.
I use the dry Swiffer to go over floors between moppings, but use a steam mop for wet mopping.
I have a large kitchen and a stiffer doesn't do the job, I use a sponge mop.
I have used the ones mentioned by others - but prefer my old Bee sponge mop above all of them
Mop, mop, mop (sponge or rag). Only way for me to do a deep clean. I do use swiffer for a quick a quick dusting of the floor if I don't have time for actual mopping.
Steam mop my ceramic tile floors with vinegar and water. A Swiffer leaves my floors sticky.
A regular mom because the Swiffer is only good for small things and don't really clean that well. The Swiffer isn't all that great what I've found
A regular mop is better for a good mop cleaning, I've found that Swiffer doesn't work that well, but great for small clean ups.
teens and pets, I have worn out mops, and swiffers. Weekly cleaning mop and vacumming. Stiffer only for quick pick up.
Swiffer, I find a mop only moves dirt around. If I want it really clean, I get on my knees and scrub. That's the cleanest
Hands and knees for a good scrub in bathrooms and kitchen. Swiffer every night before bed in between scrubbings. With 6 dogs and 6 cats, hair is everywhere, all the time! Just washed all the curtains this week too . . . ☺
I clean homes for a living and we vacuum 1st. Then we wet (string) mop 2 times and never put the dirty mop in our mop solution. We rinse all the dirt out under running water and put the clean mop in the cleaning solution to make sure it is really clean and this puts a cleaner on the mop for the floors. Then we swiffer and you would not believe the stuff that is still on the floors that the dry swiffer will pick up. And I use an excellent vacuum and a Mainstay Rayon Mope from Wal- mart. If the head is to lg. for you to squeeze out turn upside down and cut out some of the strings so it fits your hands. I choose Rayon because the strings do not come off like cotton mops.
Definitely a Swiffer. I love the smell of the moist pads and how clean and shiny it leaves the floor and no dirty water to contend with.
