Advantages: non found

Disadvantages: costly

Having moved into a new house a few months ago, I was very impressed with the laminate flooring the previous owners had laid in all the main living areas, until that is I tried to keep it clean.
Firstly I tried a normal household sweeping brush, OK but left a lot of doghairs and sand behind ( we stay close to the beach ).

Then after much persusion from advertisment I bought the swiffer system.
Firstly I thought it was a very good system, picking up almost all the dirt and making quite a quick job of it, but I found the swiffer tissues needed replacing about 3 times as I worked my way though the rooms due to getting filled with dirt and then stopping picking up dust.
After persivering for many weeks I found it to be quite an expensive cleaning system, once you had to keep replacing these tissues.

So what could I do?

Well I went into a wellknown DIY Superstore and had a look at all the types of cleaning systems on the market.
So many to choose from, but luckly an assistant approched and offer his advice. Surprisingly not one of the cleaning systems but a household brush.
What he said was that most people try only a normal household brush on laminate flooring, when you need a very soft bristle brush.
So I bought one costing about £5, which in itself is cheaper than the swiffer starter price.
It cleans very well and doesn't require any other expense once purchased. I can brush it a couple of times a day if I wish at no cost.
I find that as you brush the motion statically charges the head and makes the dust stick the the bristles much like the swiffer system, but you are able to brush the head clean and keep using it.
