If you have mostly hardwood floors, as many homes today do, you have to have a Swiffer.  It makes the job of picking up dust and dirt so much simpler than the traditional broom and mop combo.  I keep my Swiffer on a hook right outside the kitchen door so I can grab it every night or two for a very quick once-over - SO much easier to do this ongoing maintenance than doing a "big" mop once a week.  I especially like the Lavender Vanilla Wet Pads - they have an improved texture that really grabs all the dirt, and the light scent is very pleasant.  It doesn't leave you with a "hospital sterilized" smell the way some cleaners do, it's just warm, clean, and inviting without being overwhelming.  These pads also seem extra-wet which I appreciate - they cover a large area without drying out.  With a 1 year old running around this product is a lifesaver for me!
