With 7 dogs in the house I sweep, swiffer, clean three or four times a day. Great excerise - who needs a treadmill
I use pinesol on the tile floors and the dogs are not allowed on the carpets. They actually mind and stay off the carpets. The floors are all laminate so the swiffer works fine on them.
Seven dogs = 14 baths a week
Living in CA allows open windows all year long.
No one believes I have 7 dogs as I'm a clean freak...
Pads are changes and sealed in plastic bags until they go out to the trash.
They are worth the work!
