Find Best Price at Amazon"We were tired of hair everywhere and somehow I realized that dragging my shoe across the carpet balled the hair up. The backside is more like a squeegee and helps pull the hair up in long rolls and keeps the hair in one big pile."
"I also was very afraid to buy a whole new vacuum and spend hundreds of dollars on something that might just clog up and break when faced with all the hair we had here. I chose this broom because it is marketed specifically as a fur remover and because of the positive reviews describing it, so I'm here to add one more. I was very, very skeptical that the solution to my pet hair problem was something as ludicrous as squeegeeing my carpet, but the results are undeniable. If you are not fully able-bodied, or just aren't looking to work that hard to save the money, a powerful vacuum cleaner may still be your wisest choice. Personally, I plan to purchase a small 20 dollar shop-vac as a companion to this broom, especially because right now I have to just pick up the wads of hair with my hands. This should highlight the improvement in hair (And even some other debris) removal, as well as how the bristles where able to easily fluff back up a section of carpet that had been pressed down over many months by a heavy metal power strip."
"I own a boarding kennel and this is the only broom I use."
"Pros: extends to a little over 5ft, retracts to about 3ft, length of brush is easy to control(not too long), has two sides (brush for carpet, squeegee side for flat surfaces), worth $18. Cons: needs elbow grease ;), brush head occasionally needs to be tightened (depends on how I use it)."
"The best part... You don't have to clean the bristles like a regular broom. I just rinsed the broom when I was done and the little dirt that was on the bristles washed away!"
"Not gonna lie, bought this after reading a Buzzfeed post."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I was skeptical at first, but after using it today - wow - I'm amazed at how light it is, how powerful (but still quiet), and maneuverable. I love that the vac portion is low profile enough to get under the range, fridge, and other items. It's very easy (without realizing it) to slide your had over the button and with minimal pressure you turn of the unit. Frankly, the manufacturer should make the button a bit less touchy... but, it's not a major inconvenience. I've included a couple of pictures showing the swifter pad after my initial use. ( I had already cleaned my floors prior to using the swifter) to my surprise, I was amazed at how much dirt it picked up on the pad and in the vac chamber."
"My floors were vacuumed and mopped yesterday and this swifter sucked up enough hair to fill the container and the pad was covered in hair."
"The off and on switch has been changed and it is located at the top of the handle. I love not having a cord that I have to plug in and change every room that I valcum."
"Since you hold the handle to operate, I find myself accidentally turning the sweeper off."
"Love that this swifter vac not only vacuums but has dry swifter...it definitely picks up more than my small shark that only had the vacuum part."
"I do like the product although it does not have much suction power."
"I charged up the new Swiffer; charging took over 4 hours to go from red to green."
"I continued to use the old unit until we had a garage sale a couple of weeks ago at which time we sold it."
The ultimate in outdoor push brooms, this multi-surface broom features a secure head, even during rough use. Commercial-Grade quality push broom built with soft outer bristles that sweep up fine dirt particles, while sturdy inner bristles sweep away large debris.

"They all get swept at least a couple of times a day to keep up with the fur & mud from the dog and crumbs from the kid and cooking. It quickly proved to be more work to sweep it - than it is to lug down the vacuum that is stored on a different floor of my home."
"We used to use a combination stick vacuum and regular broom on our hardwood floors, but that means we have to go around twice, and the regular broom's bristles still got full of hair, and even after vacuuming and sweeping, the floor felt dirty. All the dust and hair quickly go into a pile, nothing sticks to the rubber broom's bristles, and the job is done in half the time."
Best Household Dustpans
When it's fully extended, the broom and dustpan are great for sweeping large areas, and then the broom retracts with a quick twist to easily sweep dirt piles into the dustpan. When retracted, broom is ideal for sweeping dirt piles into dustpan.

"I'm generally a big fan of OXO products."
"The same color that reviewers believe make their brooms used. Inside the bin is just some sort of bristle dust, but you should (if the seller is actually Amazon) receive a new product."
"It'll outlive the commercial products from my work, even if I were to use this broom twice as often as the one we use at my work."
"However, over a couple months the pan bowed up and will not lie flush with the floor."
"See the picture..... the broom is very poorly made and it is Expensive!!!"
"Was sent a set the clearly looks like it was used before.. both the broom and dust pan are dirty and the broom bristles are bent.. went to return it the same day it was received and got an "item not eligible for return" error message."
"The broom is almost unusable and the dustpan is nothing more than a stand for the worthless broom."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"My Amazon review for my new O-Cedar Easy-Wring Microfiber mop: I need to qualify my review to disclose that I am blessed to be in a position to pay someone else to mop my floors. I can't tell if this is what she has been using this whole time but considering that I don't remember EVER buying a mop, much less a replacement head for it, there is no other less mortifying reality. Again, I'm hardly a mop expert but it appears to me that keeping the mop head (if that's what you even call it) only lightly damp allows you to exert more pressure to pick up more stubborn grime without creating puddles. Then to take off mop head, simply stand on some strands and lift handle up and the head pops right off. This, needless to say, is a testament to how easy the mop is to use (and how bad of a mother/grandmother I am.)."
"Update 8/07/16 After purchasing a new unit I found the mop was more efficient removing water than my previous one. Feb 11, 2016, A gentleman jarred my memory, about disassembling cleaning and greasing the internal moving parts to prevent seizing. I've moped and supervised many floors in my 20 plus years in the Navy, and In my life.I have never come across a mop that simplified my life as this one has. The pulley system began to seize causing the base of the foot peddle to break in half rendering it useless."
"I have dark cherry hardwood floors and a house that is practically all large windows with very few full length walls therefore the sun constantly "highlights" every speck of dirt, Black Lab hair, and paw print. It spins almost all of the water out so each mopping is done without pushing dirty water around as is the case with traditional mops and buckets. I also found there were certain positions which worked better...a wee bit of trial and error practice was required but after a couple of minutes I got in the groove and all worked well."

I ended up having to use 4 sponges on his shower stall, tub and glass shower doors; but WOW! I have never seen a shower as clean as his turned out. I find that wetting the tub and shower doors helps them come clean easier."
"I sprayed something in my shower a few months ago and it got on my shower panel, leaving this ugly rusty spray stain on it, I couldn't get it off and thought I'd use this to give it a try and the stain just disappeared!"
"Here’s the thing: These will NOT last you like a regular sponge."
"Works especially great on bugs on the front of a car/truck and cleans the wheels/rims with little effort (remove brake dust)."
"It doesn't matter if your cleaning walls or cleaning the bathtub."
"I always heard how wonderful these things were, now I’m on the bandwagon."
"One sponge even helped power through the textured floor grips - I finally discovered they aren't meant to be a different color from the rest of the tub!"
"these work well for cleaning walls or cleaning the grout on my bathroom counters but these disintegrate pretty fast."

Find Best Price at Amazon"In an effort to cut down on the look of water drops and soap scum - and trying to increase the amount of time I can get away with between shower cleanings - I wanted a new squeegee for this shower. This also came with a large suction cup to hang the squeegee on - it isn't a suction cup with a hook to hang it on, the squeegee actually fits into the suction cup. Having the squeegee actually on the suction cup seems like it puts less stress on the suction cup than hanging the squeegee from an attached hook does."
"Sooo happy with this squeegee!"
"Pretty and convenient."
"We have a European shower door & it keeps it clean after we shower.... we squeegee!"
"This is the best squeegee that I've owned."
"And the suction cup holds well - but to be fair I do have it attached to the glass enclosure of the shower."

These can clean specialty glasses and other items that the dishwasher can't and it will get eggs off a stainless steel pan even after its gone thru the dishwasher and comes out baked on."
"I have read all the reviews of them not lasting after weeks, but that is the same as any sponge you buy from the store, with time they all are going to fall apart and/or break. I have found that with sharp knives it will cut the sponge and lead to falling apart, but a sharp knife will cut any sponge."
"The ORANGE one works great."
"I do wish they lasted a bit longer, but I love the fact that they can be thrown in the dishwasher for cleaning and they never have that sour smell that traditional sponges & dish cloths get."
"These things last me a while, save the headache of icky sponges, scrub extremely well AND makes my sink area look cute!"
"They can be used all around the house to clean anything, including walls, countertops, tables, etc. Also they will leave tiny pieces of the sponge all over your dishes as they break down. Final Thoughts: If these sponges lasted for about a month or so each, they would be great. They are quite expensive to begin with and for that price you would expect them to last as long as they are advertised to do so."
"At first I was very pleased with the sponge, but quickly it started to disinigrate and specs of the sponge ended up all over my dishes!!!"

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I purchased these because I thought they were the Vibrawipe brand that I had purchased about a year ago."
"I don't typically write long reviews for products, but I definitely wanted to take a few minutes to talk about these microfiber cleaning cloths. It's worth taking a few minutes to research how microfiber cloths pick up dirt and bacteria just so you can fully appreciate what these little cloths are doing with nothing but water. Here are some of my favorite uses: - Dusting (use it dry). - Mirrors (wet half of the towel to wipe down the glass and follow up with the dry half to dry). - Electronic screens (use it dry). - Stainless steel (clean with a wet one and follow up with a dry one). - Hardwood floors (mine fits my mop and I use dry ones for dusting and wet ones for mopping). - Soaking up spilled water. - cleaning cabinetry. - washing the car. To keep these cloths cleaning effectively, make sure you are washing them separately (when washed with other clothes they will pick up and hold on to lint which will be a hassle to get off) and in hot water."
"Also, occasionally one will get washed with regular laundry (in one case, a gray velour blanket - yikes!). The different colors allow me to separate uses; for instance, I use the blue ones for the bathroom (blue for loo), yellow for glass surfaces, and the green everywhere else."
"if you drop liquid on a carpet just grab a couple of these, mcrofiber is super absorbent, i place this on the spill and stand on it for a minute, it will soak it right out."
"I originally purchased these to clean my expensive monitors with the help of some distilled water and a camera cleaning bulb."
"It took significantly less effort to remove the wax than the terry towels I had been using."
"First of all I loved the fact that I could order a multi pack online and didn't have to go to the store for these."
