Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Procter & Gamble #30942 Swiffer Starter Kit
Customer Review: Like the Wet Version not Dry
Summary: 3 Stars
I feel like the dry cloths do almost nothing. Maybe if we had dirtier floors they'd work better. The dry cloths always leave dirt behind and cause much more trouble than they are worth.
However I do like the wet cloths. They are extremely useful for mopping our tile floors and especially good for quick touch ups. I also really like the smell of the "clean scent."
Customer Review: Good idea - poor quality
Summary: 3 Stars
The best I like about it is that you _don't have to use special pads_ - doubled bounty and a bottle of Windex will cost you much less. Actually Windex is an overkill - some ammonia with water in a spray bottle is sufficient in most cases.
Also good for windows washing.
Now the bad news is that this piece of crap would break in a few months no matter how careful you're. I'm on 4th swiffer now, usually handle goes first.
If you happen to find it in some discount store for $5 or so, buy a few at once.
Customer Review: If you despise, & avoid, wet-mopping your kitchen floor as much as I do.....
Summary: 4 Stars
Frankly, I don't want to admit how long it's been since I mopped my 60 y.o. linoleum kitchen floor. It's a small kitchen, maybe 7"x8", but there's always so much cleaning--& yardwork-- to do inside & out of my old s.f. house that I somehow avoid mopping the kitchen floor like the plague. (I do vacuum, & "spot clean" the kitchen floor ).
Anyway, I'd had the bucket, & sponge-mop sitting in the kitchen for too long--w/o doing the job of course--& when I went to my local "warehouse club" & they had a great deal on the dry, & wet, refills for this thing, I bought them. (I then had to go to another store to buy the actual "starter kit" with the handle, go figure).
Today I started using the wet pads to clean the kitchen floor (after vaccuming). Right now, I'm about 2 hours in to it, & have used maybe 6 of the wet pads. I can't tell that it's one bit easier than using a sponge-mop & a bucket; maybe even less so, but it's such an unpleasant job that it's like debating which kind of root canal is best.
OTOH: 1. With the swiffer, you could clean a small portion of the floor at a time, & not fill a bucket with cleaner & water, & then have to dispose of it. 2. If you lived in a condo, the swiffer items would take up less space. 3. "normal people" who mop their kitchen floors on a regular basis might find the swiffer more time-effective. 4. I don't know which is more eco-friendly--disposing of a few swiffer wet pads, or a bucket of filthy water with cleaning fluid--I'd almost bet on the swiffer wet pads.......
Customer Review: Not good for hard wood floors
Summary: 2 Stars
This leaves a milky residue on my hardwood floors. I'm back to old-fashioned mopping.Customer Review: an absolute must have, but with one problem
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great way to clear hardwood floors and also kitchen linoleum. It is quick and easy. It's also a breeze on your back, since you do not have to bend over. My chiropractor really appreciated this aspect. ;)
The only problem I have with this is that the swiffer sheets get covered very quickly. While I love the convenience of it, I question the environmental impact.
