The other day my 6 year old son decided that he was going to do a project involving glitter, but didn't think to make sure the lid was on tight and resulted in a very sparkly kitchen table, chair, floor etc... There was glitter everywhere, not one huge pile, just a nice path of glitter. Now he was walking in it and so was the dog, and it was spreading. Ugh. What to do? Wet paper towel? That is a lot of bending. Then I noticed the unopened Swiffer box that I had yet to put away. I ripped it open, hooked it up (it did take me a brain freeze second to figure out how to attach the pad) and went to work. It did a good job of picking up the glitter, I went through a couple of pads, and it did miss a few flakes in the grout, but all in all it was what I needed and I didn't need to bend down to get those thousands of sparkly specks.
