Advantages: Cobweb Unfriendly, Great for general dusting

Disadvantages: Not for floors purlease!

Whoever thought this one up? a neat little number for dusting the floor? I mean, really, do we need to DUST floors? Um... no, sweep yes, mop, yes DUST? No! I am a sucker for a good old-fashioned marketing campaign and as a hardened gadgeteer I had to have one!

The swiffer is quite simple, a flat rubbery pad on a pivotable stick over which a dust attracting cloth can be placed, used then thrown away.

In principle a great idea, in reality quite absurd!

However, I have found an excellent use for my swiffer. In a house overrun by eight-legged beasties I used to have dreadful problems with cobwebs. As I have difficulty getting around I could never reach them, high on the walls. Now I just use the swiffer over my walls once a month and the cobwebs cling to the cloth and are speedily disposed of.

The cloths are also excellent on their own for general dusting around the house (but NOT the floors luvvy, thats just daft) my television attracts huge amounts of dust and cat hair and the cloths are great at clearing it.

So my recommendation is, if you feel you need a swiffer and can use it in the ways I have suggested, then get one. If by some great marketing ploy you too have been brainwashed into thinking that you need to DUST your floor as well as sweep and mop, have a nice cool refreshing glass of water and read through this opinion again, comprendi????
