A Mop That Might Floor You

How It Started As a way to aid chores

Judgment Cleaning house is never easy, but this is a good start

Just because you can't find time to make your floor squeaky clean doesn't mean you can't dream for that result. Next-generation cleaning gadgets like the Swiffer Wet Jet mop are making it easier to do backbreaking chores in no time. The Swiffer uses disposable cleaning pads (they pick up more grime and don't need wringing) instead of conventional mop locks and has a container of cleaning fluid built right into the handle. Pull on the mop's trigger, and a motor shoots fluid onto the floor while you swab. Bid farewell to hands-and-knees scrubbing and toting heavy buckets of messy mop water. --By Roy B. White
