The Swiffer Wet Jet is an all in one floor cleaning system.  The kit comes with a bottle of cleanser and a few cleaning pads.  The cleanser is dispensed onto the floor and the cleaning pad picks up the dirt.

The pads must be changed frequently, if not, you are just using a dirty pad.  The replacement pads, as well as the cleanser, are expensive.

I find that the cleanser leaves a residue on my floors, leaving them sticky.  That residue makes dirt stick to the floors resulting in more frequent cleaning.

I find it easier to clean my floor with my bucket and mop.  I can control the amount of cleanser applied to the floor and I am not limited to one brand.  I feel the floors are cleaner using a bucket and mop and I don't have that residue left on them.

If I was in a pinch and needed to clean up something quickly, I would use this and only because I now have it.

That is too funny! I got $10 for it at my yard sale last weekend!

Plus the pads add to the landfill. Sigh. We have a new sponge mop and it works beautifully. You could always sell it in a yard sale. : ) Good review.

Nice one, mystic!

I use an old-fashioned mop. It might not be fancy, but it gets the job done.

I guess the old fashioned way again remains the best. I'm glad you reviewed this. My mother, ironically, just asked me last week (after watching the comercial) if I thought the Swiffer Wet Jet really works. I haven't used it, so I told her I wasn't sure. Great review!

I have a Swiffer WetJet. I am not happy with mine as a replacement for my mop. I use it to pick up spills and pet messes.
