One of the things I love most about my home is the fact that we have mostly hardwood flooring. Our house is almost 100 years old, and the original hardwood floor has so much character and charm. Of course with wood floors comes maintenance. In addition to polishing and steam-cleaning, I also dust it often...It's amazing how much dust and dirt can accumulate on hard surfaces! 

This month, Swiffer is releasing a brand new product that's simply perfect for hardwood floors. (And vinyl or laminate, and tile, etc.) The Swiffer Sweep & Trap features rotating blades that pick up bigger messes like cereal, kitty litter, nuts and bolts, and more. There is also a dry cloth that traps and lifts dust, dirt, and pet hair. It's also super lightweight, making it easy to transport from room to room. Plus, there are no cords or batteries to worry about. 

There were a couple of "messes" in my Swiffer Sweep & Trap kit. There were nuts and bolts as well as the pencil shavings you see below. (And we all know just how annoying spilled pencil shavings can be! Ugh!) 

The Swiffer Sweep & Trap glides right over the mess, sweeping it up with the rotating blades. Oh, I should probably mention that these blades won't damage your floors. The mess is contained within an easy to empty compartment. 

And any dust, small particles, or hair will be picked up by the dry cloth. Pretty neat, isn't it? 

I was pretty impressed with this product. It is super simple to use, and it definitely does a great job dusting and picking up pet fur. It did, however, take several passes to clean up the pencil shavings and larger messes. So the only thing I would change about the Swiffer Sweep & Trap is the efficiency. I bet some improvements could be made so the mess is picked up in less time. Still, while this product won't completely eliminate the need to vacuum, it is great to have handy for messes. And trust me, with puppies, kittens, and preschoolers, these happen often in my home!
