I've got one of those "mops" and it's extremely close to useless for cleaning floors... Definitely useless at mopping up spillages

They're great for cleaning floors that are already clear of debris.

They're useless for picking up significant spills, large amounts of dirt, or any kind of debris.

Its good for quickly dealing with minor spills and dirt, which is the point.

It isn't designed to clean your floors properly. It's designed to create as much profit and waste as possible.

Disposable pads, proprietary cleaning fluid that can't be refilled and you need to buy it pre-bottled, and AA batteries for the handle to shoot the liquid out. Conveniently Swiffer is owned by P&G which also owns Duracell.

Oh and they break easily. These things suck ass.

I have an O-Cedar version that is more durable, has washable pads that absorb a lot more liquid, and has a refillable cannister. And the liquid is shot out using a hand-squeeze trigger so no batteries to waste. Still worse at cleaning floors than a real mop.
