Product Rave

Dollarama, you've done it again.

Now, just this week I saw that Dollarama has upped some of their prices. Some things are now $1.25, or $2.00. I wasn't happy about that. In fact, I was outright miffed!! But alas...inflation happens I suppose, and what i found today made me relent, and say "Oh Dollarama...I just can't stay mad at you!!"

I'm a fan of Swiffer products. I love the Swiffer Vac (a must have!) and I love the plain ol floor duster. While the dusting cloths can be a bit pricey, I've been using the normal dry duster for years to mop my floors too. I'd just take a microfiber cloth, wet it, wrap it over (tuck into the holder thingies) and voila! Super clean floors, that dry really fast. Then I'd just throw the cloth into the laundry.

Well...it appears that Dollarama has not only come out with their own $1 version of the swiffer (you purchase the head for $1, and then a regular boom stick for another $1 if you don't already have one) but they have the dusting cloths too! (Wet and dry types) The best part? They fit your Swiffer brand broom! Oh...and they also have the hand duster refills too.

It gets better! They have these microfibre/chenille dusters that just slip over the swiffer head! You can use them dry, as a duster, or wet as a kick-butt mop! (especially for hardwood floors, this works amazingly! I use a vinegar/water mix as my cleaner, and use this little buddy to get them clean and streak free.) And microfiber has really fast dry-time too!

They are machine washable, tho I wouldn't put it in the dryer, just in case it shrinks. For only $1, you can buy a couple, and always have one handy when one is in the laundry! (the one shown is only a similar kind...the actual one is rectangular, and obviously doesn't bend, since it's wrapped around the swiffer head)

Enjoy!

ps...this is also amazing for cleaning the tile in your shower! Because of the long handle, there is no need to step into the tub, and it's done in no time!
