I wasn't sure what to expect since I have real hardwood floor from 1963, but the pads worked better than I imagined.  Any hair, dust, or leaves on the floor were immediately removed and on the pad. You stillhave a pile of debris to sweep since the bigger items do not get removed by the swiffer. 

The scent was very relaxing, and later complimented when I had friends over for a drink. They were really impressed with my clean floor and fresh scent. I did notice in the kitchen it took a little extra scrubbing at a few spots, but with a little elbow grease I was able to remove them. My sister wanted a set of refills for Christmas,  and now I know which one I will get her!
