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!

I agree, i too fell for the advert, convinced that it would make life easy when cleaning wooden floors.
If your family is like mine with food, mud from shoes and all manner of debris on the floor from normal day-to-day life then this product is not for you.
I used the swiffer, which moved the bits around the room (the same as a broom does)then had to sweep with a broom to collect the bits it had missed, then either used a dustpan and brush to pick it all up with or hoover it up. It eventually sunk in that I was much better off using the hoover in the first place. The swiffer- forget it.
