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.Helpful Reply -

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.Helpful Reply -

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.Helpful Reply -

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.Helpful Reply -

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 cleanestHelpful Reply -

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 . . . ☺Helpful Reply -

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.Helpful Reply -
