Advantages: Nice swively head

Disadvantages: Doesn't pick up crumbs, or Dog hair..., just moves it around nicely!

I agree with Nathalie's posting.... the swiffer doesn't pick up even the minute-ist of crumbs.

I recently had a Italian tiled floor laid in the Kitchen to replace the groggy and tired carpet tiles (euck!) that were there when we moved in.

My friend has a wood floor and recommended a swiffer as I have a dog (who sheds the ocassional hair!) and we love fresh crusty bread too!

When I next went shopping I saw them on special offer in Sainsbury's for half price - £9.99 down to £4.99 for the broom-y thing and just £1.99 for a pack of the cloths. Bargain....

...or so I thought! First time I used it there was a few crumbs on the floor from our attempts at carving the bread and all the swiffer did was push them under the cabinets!

The cloth came away dirty... well with some grey dust on it... but all the bits that were supposed to be magically attracted to the the cloth were still on the floor (albeit under the cabinets!)

So... in my opinion... great for sweeping the dirt under the carpet but I'd rather use my hoover or the 99p dustpan and brush that I bought!


P.S Was foolish enough to buy some Flash floor wipes (that fit the swiffer) and they're not much cop either... They dry out before I've even covered a third of my floor (hey the kitchen isn't that big....)

Perhaps they're jusy no good on tiles...
