I used the Swiffer sweeper as I have 1/2 my house with hard wood floors and its a pain to keep it up. I have 4 cats a dog,  2 kids and a husband. I tried the dry sheets hoping it would pick up the loose animal hair around it did great but with us living in the country and having a small hobby farm it gets pretty dirty around here. These did not pick up the loose dirt which is always dragged in the house. I'll be using the wet pads tonight.
