How do most people feel about the swiffer compared to the traditional?

Very easy but not sure it is really as clean.

I love my swifter.

Never used it. Can't see paying for replacement pads or forgetting to buy some. Spend my money on things I need.

Waste of money. I have a "swiffer style" floor mop that I purchased at a restaurant supply house. Washable cotton covers. Even an old cut up towel would work if you didn't want to purchase covers, plus it is a little larger.

I love swifter dusting things. I use a microfiber flat MOP. I even use it to wash down walls.

I use a swiffer wet jet all the time! Every two weeks I use a regular mop and pail for deeper cleaning. its great for spills.
