I use the Swiffer wet/dry sweeper on my hardwood, tile and linoleum floors.  It is a great alternative to "just sweeping" with a traditional broom.  The dry sweeper pad has deep ridges that trap dirt and crumbs. Then with a quick change of the pad, I can switch to the wet pad to clean up any sticky messes or liquid spills. I like the lightweight design. However, it is sometimes difficult to "scrub" because the handle is thin and the pad swivels a lot. So pressing down is a little difficult. Other than that this sweeper is pretty useful and I would recommend this to friends and family. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
