Keeping Homemaking Alive...

Are the Swifter as good as they say they are. I don't have one. I was just wandering. If you don't mind me asking. What kind of Swifter do you have?

[mash52]

Spring is in the air it feels like here. And it does feel like cleaning time. I cleaned out my bedroom. Next the extra bedroom. I got some Spring cleaning to do. Those are my two task for the week. Have a good day everyone, Love ya'll

Yes, my Swiffer is the #1 method I use for sweeping and mopping. It does the job for me! I have a Swiffer Sweep Mop. It's the green one that can be purchased for no more than $20. I buy the wet and dry cloths to use it. Keeping my floors clean is a breeze using my Swiffer!

For quick carpet cleanup, I use my Bissell Sweeper. For deep cleaning, the vacuum cleaner works best

Sounds great! Maybe one I can save up for it. I like to invest in also one the Swiffer dusters. My trailer has got to be the dusted place ever. I dust all the time. Then it is hard to keep it out of here. Then I have two cats. One is siamese, persian. He sheds constantly. He is white short hair. Hair is hard to keep off of my floors. I have no carpet. just hard floors. With linoleum on it. I sweep. No good. Seem like when I dust. Wow its every where. It may be hard to do. It gets done with old rags, end dust.
I have been doing a lot of Spring cleaning. Got my bedroom done.

I have a Swiffer duster. It can reach into nooks and crannies with little effort. I also have a rainbow-colored duster with a retractable handle that I purchased many years ago that works wonders too! Don't know what brand it is! Glad you've made so much progress in cleaning your home. Enjoy! Yes, dust does collect easily in the home. Using a Swiffer just makes it easier to clean! Beautiful cats...what joy they must bring you!

[mash52]

Yes, my cat that is part Siamese, persian. He is so beautiful. Then we have another cat. She is a Calico. They both are good cats. They do bring joy to our home. I defiantly gotta get a duster then. Today I plan on sweeping and mopping all the floors in trailer. Then dust all my pictures. I have hanging on my walls. My nik-nac. I love Angels. So over the years. My family has given a small collection of Angel nik-nacs. So I have my work cut out for me today. Oh, plus doing laundry. Here it is 4:38 AM and I have not went to bed. Shame on me. I will grab a quick nap later, maybe.
