Swiffer WetJet Starter Kit® —
Long ago and far away I had the older Swiffer Wet Jet . . . and eventually got rid of it and went back to regular mopping with the occasional Swiffer Sweeper Mop to help out. But with all the coming and going this family does as well as a messy dog I decided to try the NEW Swiffer Wetjet beginning with the starter kit (priced at $19.99) that come with the "mop," two pads and one bottle of floor cleaner. It takes 4 AA batteries which of course you have to buy, so you really are paying a price for cleanliness and convenience.
What I like about the new Swiffer WetJet:
- easy to assemble
- thicker pads
- more effective cleaning product
- more absorbant
- handles better with a twisting "head" and curved features make it clean better along baseboards and corners
- scrubbing edge for tough dirt
- quick and easy especially when I am expecting last minute company
What I don't like about the new Swiffer WetJet:
- batteries and you can't use the rechargeable kind
- waste - you end up adding to landfills with the pads and cleaner
- have to use A LOT of cleaner to get the floors really clean
- expensive pads, refills and starter kit
- you can only use swiffer refills for cleaner
I do like that I can just easily place the pad onto the bottom of the Swiffer WetJet using very strong holding velcro strips. You then push the button to spray the cleaner onto the floor and mop. I have found that I need to use a great deal of cleaner, that I have to scrub hard on spots (especially those areas with tracked in dirt by little feet and doggie paws).
I don't think it's good enough for the deep cleaning unless I spend lots of money on refills. For the deep cleaning I will be sticking with my old fashioned Cedar O mop and natural cleaners. But for those quick messes in the hallway, kitchen, bathroom and entry ways the new Swiffer WetJet is more effective and efficient than the old one was and it save me some time and work.
