I have an Eureka Mighty Might that I use instead of an upright. I also have the Swiffer vacuum for spot cleaning. I have a micro-mop for mopping and sometimes I put a regular cloth on it to dust-mop. I think the only answer is frequent cleaning or close the drapes so the sun doesn't shine in!!Twice as Nicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03862996772241416588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554690849426824792.post-90849002051074938382009-06-24T15:39:58.971-05:002009-06-24T15:39:58.971-05:00Natalie is right...the Swiffer Vac is AMAZING! I g...Natalie is right...the Swiffer Vac is AMAZING! I got one when we first moved to this house, and loved it so much I was using it 3 or 4 times a day. My hubby had to have an intervention on me cause I was driving him nuts with it. It is a bit pricey at alomost $30, but absolutely worth it! Plus you can find $5 coupons online. Go...run...get one right this minute!<br /><br />~AmandaAmanda@Imperfectly Beautifulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11171213700434070319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554690849426824792.post-89387947998258699722009-06-23T08:57:25.605-05:002009-06-23T08:57:25.605-05:00I have this static dust mop thingie (sorry, dunno ...I have this static dust mop thingie (sorry, dunno the name of it) and it works wonders. It just grabs them up and you save so much time. It reminds me of those industrial dust mops, but works sooo much better.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10183421175434834004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554690849426824792.post-77121071818488738932009-06-21T20:20:02.928-05:002009-06-21T20:20:02.928-05:00I have hardwoods on my entire first floor, and I t...I have hardwoods on my entire first floor, and I thought I would lose my mind trying to keep it clean. I bought a quickie like you have there, but it didn't help much.<br /><br />Then I found the glorious Swiffer Vacuum!!! Swiffer PLUS a vacuum cleaner, I tell you I LOVE to dust my floors because they actually get clean, every speck. Plus it takes 10 minutes to do the whole downstairs as opposed to 30 with the quickie since I had to keep cleaning it off. Oh, and I have two kids so I have to clean my floors two or three times a day.<br /><br />RUN RIGHT NOW and get yourself the Swiffer Vacuum!! It seriously works like a dream as long as you empty the cup and clean off the filter once a day (takes 1 minute).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554690849426824792.post-56344987806223576852009-06-21T15:07:53.643-05:002009-06-21T15:07:53.643-05:00I use the Bruce cleaner for hardwood or laminate. ...I use the Bruce cleaner for hardwood or laminate. I initially bought the one with a spray bottle, then bought the large size refill bottle and pour it into the spray bottle. I spray it on an area about 4X4 and clean, then spray the next section and clean- it dries pretty quickly. I use what was recommended by the place where we bought our hardwood floors.<br /><br />I don't mean to go against anyone else, but we were told swiffer solution has chemicals that strip the finish off your floors. I do use my swiffer sweeper cloths with the Bruce cleaner. I have also taken microfiber cloths and wrapped them on the head of my sweeper and pinned it to stay. When our home in FL was on the market I made three of my kids go behind me on their hand and knees with microfiber cloths to wipe it and make sure no prints were there. I did this DAILY. They were praying hard for our home to sell.Southernerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00742517323759698146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554690849426824792.post-15702937078556630012009-06-21T08:32:30.966-05:002009-06-21T08:32:30.966-05:00We have hardwood, too.

You put cloths on the sweeper (kind of like microfiber ones)and it seems to pick up very well. Don't know about the Quickie. But, yes, the baby dust bunnies QUICKLY multiply on the hardwood...heheheDarlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862436836886238624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554690849426824792.post-1675068930900334052009-06-20T22:41:12.538-05:002009-06-20T22:41:12.538-05:00Well, when you find out how well it works and how ...Well, when you find out how well it works and how to get it to work the best, let me know because with three dogs that shed to high heaven, I have dust gorillas! : )Heathahleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03526348513736437292noreply@blogger.com
