I know many of you love your Swiffers, but I can't handle the price of the pads (even with sales & coupons) and the thought of throwing more and more stuff in the trash can when there is an alternative.
I have been using a Microfiber mop for years, probably 8-9 at least. We have hardwood floors and laminate and I absolutely love my mop. It came with 2 pads that attach to the mop with velcro strips. When they get dirty, I get the bulk of the residue from the floor off of them and throw them in the washer.... good as new. The only problem I've had with mine is that it's velcro strips are in need of replacement, but I can do that myself.
Mine came with a microfiber cloth that is great for dusting when it's dry, or dampin it and it also helps remove stickers and labels from things, oil spots, crayon marks, and etc from surfaces.
Saves me money on refills for the Swiffer, and saves the landfills from the dirty pads I'd be throwing away every time I mopped. And... I get to choose when I whether to put a chemical on my floor, or if I just want to use water or vinegar and water which are safer too.
I have the StarfiberPro, but haven't been able to find it with a metal handle which mine has and I think would be best suited for long term usage. I found something similar at Amazon which I will link below if you're interested in looking for one. The one in my link has good reviews if you're in the market for one, or feel free to take a look around for one.
Just had to say how much I love mine, even after all this time.
