Anyways, I've been doing some surfing this afternoon and came across several articles talking about the Swiffer rumor. It does still concern me that they put a warning on the box saying it's not safe for small children and pets. And I know it does because I just looked at a box last night. I think I might get one anyways and just keep the dogs off the floor until it's dry. I don't know, I have to do something...

| Meyers and method make great floor cleaning products all natural and safe for our babies! Method has a o-mop you can get at target and the solution smells wonderful! I would also suggest using water and vinegar about every 3rd time you mop to get rid of residue buildup from cleaning solutions!

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Wow, Ladies, hands and knees!!! Im impressed. Didn't think anyone did that any more. You are welcome to come here and do that. I use a good old fashion mop. Tried the swifer, but went back to regular mop. As far as cleaning solution, Nolee doesn't lick the floor, but I also don't mop with him inside or around.

DH does it & I don't know what he uses. He also cleans the toilet & tub, runs the sweeper, makes the coffee & does the laundry. (He took over the chores Aug 2006)

| I have this mop that has already the squiggy(sp) thingy on it... and you can buy the replacement heads for it for like 5 bucks.. the whole mop at first costs around 8-10 dollars but i like it since I dont have to be squeezing the mop myself with my hand or replacing pads... this one has it on it.. you just lock it into place.. twist and it does it for you... ohh and we use pinesol.. |

| I use the Orange glo cleaner on my wood... I LOVE IT! and it has a great smell.... On my tile, I use a spray bottle(filled with William Sonoma all natural cleaner) and a TOWEL... I cannot use a mop because of a bad back and the towel just gets the grout cleaner.... I call it my Leg Exercise Time.... LOL I walk around the kitchen on the towel... I want to try the steamer now...

| You guys are great!! I just love the great news that I never thought about on here. I use the steam mop too and love it! Love it! Love it! I agree though...I hated the vaccuum, but am SO GLAD I got the mop! Huge difference in quality. I only wish I had a DH or a daughter to do it for me!!! I also agree that is good to use good ole vinegar and water on surfaces to help any unwanted residues. I only do that like once every two months though. Then again its just me and my baby in the house. Luckily I have a pretty clean pup....(crossing my fingers for her to stay that way!!) |

| I use the Swiffer Wet Jet, but use vinegar and water in a spray bottle or Odo Ban in a spray bottle instead of the Wet Jet solution. I have laminate floors.
