I prefer a mop, have tried the swifter mops and do not like them. One of these days I am going to yank out this awful flooring and I want linoleum . I can mop and not worry about it. My dad and sister both had laminate and flooring and have to use swifter mops. Well both have had water leaks and the floors buckled bad. Beides to me the weiffter mop just does not feel clean.
