Disadvantages: Read!

All the downstairs of our house has got wooden floors so when I first saw the rather irritating advert for the Swiffer system I thought that it would be a good idea to get one - so I did, and thank God I waited for a special offer to do so, otherwise I would be so cross with myself.

Basically the broom is a cool looking and very easy to handle little thing onto which you attach some electrostatic wipes... and here you go, wiping around and wiping some more, and again... but hang on a minute I am sure I have been there before and here too and there is still a loads of c**p on the floor... how that could be possible!!? I have a Swiffer! The floor should be spotless! and it is not, have I been conned by advertisement? I am afraid I have.

In my opinion Swiffer is great if your floor is already clean, it will make it cleaner. If your floor has got dust, I am not talking tons of rubbish there, just normal daily dust, brought in by kids, a bit of cooking, dry mud on your shoes, that sort of dust, well Swiffer will just move it along but as far as attracting the dust like in the advert : no chance.

So if Swiffer picks up tiny little dust only, I might aswell carry on using my vaccum cleaner, at least I know the job will be done in one go.

Swiffer is now collecting dust on his own in my garage!
