@Daniel: no, but I never seem to run out of ammonia, either. I think I got a gallon of it five years ago.

@Travis: those are the übergerms that will one day rise up and overthrow us all. Run while you can, but they’ll get you eventually!

@Travis: Those are the “teh dumb” germs. You cannot ever kill them.

Will somebody tell me what the 0.1% of germs are that cannot be killed with these household cleaners?

We’ve got a swiffer, but mostly it serves as a toddler toy (we removed one of the tubes that makes up its handle). As for chemicals, my wife likes the Mop n Glo for floor cleanup, while I prefer ammonia. The old-timey stuff doesn’t leave the floor quite so shiny, but it seems a lot cleaner. Maybe it’s just the fumes getting to my head…

you are right about swiffers and bacteria killing WMD’s, I actually bought a regular old style mop and enjoyed using it for a change

Keli uses a swiffer all the damn time, but after she sweeps first.

Personally, I freaking hate swiffers since they don’t actually seem to pick up hair or dirt but instead scoot it around the floor, so that I end up having to use some cleaning spray and paper towels anyways.
