Cleaning Tools

I'm generally not a fan of disposable type cleaning products but I love the new quick cleaning tools available now. They have been invaluable in training my little kids to work happily and cooperate. I like for them to be included in the Friday housecleaning day.

Swiffer has those dusters on the plastic hand-held wand that even my 2yo can use. The Swiffer Carpet Flick is not such a good cleaner but my little guys think they are vacuuming. It has a see-through top and they like to see how much dirt they've collected. It's light-weight and they can maneuver it easily. I like the Clorox Quick Mop best b/c I can refill the bottle with my own cleaner. Again, it's easy for my vertically challenged helpers and it actually does a pretty good job for the in-between cleanings.

I know I sound like a commercial but if you have little helpers at home, I think the cost for the disposable products are a good investment in teaching little ones to have a good work ethic.
