Honestly, I am such a loser. And clearly I am getting old. Ever since I saw the first commercial for the Swiffer Carpet Flick, I have wanted one. Loblaws was having a sale on them today and George has been doing a lot of overtime and extra jobs so he got me one, knowing how much I wanted one (he calls me a total fish since I always get reeled in by ads).
And I am EXCITED. Hayley wanted to try it and I actually said, “Hang on, this is MOMMY’S toy.” When did I grow up? 😛
It’s really nifty though and it actually does work. Hayley only eats supper at the big table regularly. For breakfast, lunch, and all snacks, she eats at her own table. I have to vacuum every.damn.day between her, my own late night snacks, and the cat. It’s a pain in the arse getting the vacuum out for a little area under her table or near my desk, but it’s also annoying to have crumbs. This thing actually works really well for picking up the crumbs with no noise and no hassle. I figure if I can cut down the full vacuuming to once or twice a week, I can use the carpet flick in between and the regular Swiffer for fluff and dust bunnies on the wood floors. If I can get George to fix my knock-off Swiffer Wet Jet, I’ll be all set.
Why yes, I do love Swiffer, how did you guess? I would totally use the dusters too, but in the meantime I do quick spot dusting with the Swiffer cloths.
See what I mean? OLD AND DORKY.
I love Swiffer products as well. I was thinking of getting this toy because we have a long haired cat who likes to leave half her fur sitting on the carpet every time she gets up from a nap. Do you think this will be useful to pick up clumps of cat hair? I’ve been holding off on getting one because I feared it just wouldn’t be able to handle it.
I have the other swiffer products, but figured I have too much carpet space for the carpet cleaner. It would be a waste plus I just make the kiddos vacuum! Gotta love chores!
I know exactly what you mean about the dorky excitement about new household items. Earlier this week, my fiance and I bought new fluffy towels, and he said, “I am such a dork. I want to go home and take a shower RIGHT NOW!”
I totally agreed.

I have a friend who will beat your swiffer title. She has been known as the “Swiffer Lady” for more than 5 years.
In my house, swiffer rules. Swiffer makes quick cleans easy and fast.
There is no shame in loving Swiffer!
Oh – I am such a dork, because I am JEALOUS!
