Why Not Wednesday? The Great Swiffer Debate

It is definitely an almost Thursday, Why not Wednesday?. After a long day of work, I was able to get my hair colored- which is desperately needed. I come home to no electric and down trees in the back yard...
I didn't think I was going to make my Wednesday commitment.

We are a Swiffer family. I use my Swiffer mop almost on the daily. It's especially handy if you have critters (or children) in the home. The Swiffer mop is my go to should I need to clean up any quick messes. Light weight, inexpensive, and easy to use. However, I always struggle choosing which "swiffer" pads to buy. Name brand, off brand, no brand? Well, I've bought four different kinds, with four different results. Why not? My conclusion is at the end.

Subject #1: Swiffer Wet Mop Refills w/ Febreeze 24 count: $7.97 ($.0.33 a piece)
Pros: Smells wonderfully, streak free, cleans messes easily.
Cons: Dries out quickly causing you to use more cloths for larger areas

Subject #2: Grime Boss Wet Mop Refills: 32 count: $6.97 ($0.21 a piece)
Pros: Fresh scent, streak free, scrubbing strip for hard to get up messes
Cons: Difficult to find in store, usually sold out

Subject# 3: DG Home Deep Cleaning Pads: 12 count: $4.65 ($0.38 a piece)
Pros: N/A
Cons: Dries out quickly, falls apart easily, streaky, left sticky film over entire surface!!!
MOST expensive per cloth

Subject #4: Family Dollar Wet Mop Refills: 12 count: $4.50 ($0.37 a piece)
Pros: Remains moist longer than competitors, cleans messes easily
Cons: Not the best bang for your buck

My choice? Definitely the Grime Boss. Bonus? It's the most cost effective choice. I guess it was a clear sign, when 9 times out of 10, my local store is sold out! I prefer the Febreeze sent, but will to sacrifice for higher quality. Click here to view online!

And... my blog wouldn't be complete with out some laughter.
