I absolutely love this product!!

I have laminate floor in my kitchen and one of the bedrooms, the living room and dining room, and tiles in the conversatory and bathroom so get through lots and lots of floor wipes. I discovered these wipes years ago and use them regularly. I have used many other brands but find these amongst the best and the cheapest. A pack of 15 wipes is priced between 69p and 79p which is fantastic compared to supermarket own brands which tend to be around the £1 mark.

I sweep and 'swiffer' my open plan dining and living area daily. It is a large area and I get away with using two wipes per 'swiff'. Using a pack of wipes each week on this area alone can be costly. I tend to mostly mop the other areas weekly and give the odd 'swiff' in between when getting the mop out seems to much of a chore. I do not mop the living/dining area ever as the flooring is ridged and water would collect in the ridges and warp over time.

The wipes come in a bright blue resealable packet and are easy dispensed one at a time. The wipes are sizeable enough to fit most (if not all - I have two different 'swiffers' and they fit both comfortably) 'Swiffers' or can be used by hand.

The wipes have a very strong lemon fragrance, which is a little chemically but very pleasant. They are very moist in the wrapper and the moisture lasts whilst they are being used. I normally turn them 'inside out' once the moisture goes on one side to get the maximum use out of them. I do sometimes use an antibacterial spray directly onto the floor to enhance to moisture and therefore cleaning factor.

Even doing this clean everyday I am still amazed at the dirt that the first wipe picks up and am impressed that the second wipe mostly remains the orighinal colour of the wipe - proving that they work! It also makes me very pleased that I do not have carpet, I could not imagine the amount of dirt that would collect and clag my carpets!!

I find that they are great for the purposes I use them, picking up daily passenger dirt and crumbs from my son (most of which are swept up) and I am pleased that they have anibacterial qualities, as my son has a tendency to pick up his dropped banana etc off the floor (nice) and I do not panic about that. (don't get me wrong - I do not left him eat off the floor, but the thought does not fill me with dread, as I know that the floors are cleaned regularly)

When I use these I do not have problems with smearing or streaking.

In summary, I love this product, the wipes are great value and although I do not use these exclusively, they are one of my favourite floor wipes for both price and useability. The only more pleasant smelling wipes I have come across are a much more expense branded one which I only get when they are BOGOF or half price.

These are fantastic value.

The four stars is purely for the chemically smell - when I know that there are better smells out there!

Summary: A great product at a great price, that I will continue to buy
