Mint Robot Set to Swiffer Your Floors PC Magazine

Also toughened this technology.)

Inside the Mint is an ARM processor filled with hundreds of thousands of lines of code and the fa has infrared sensors. In tandem, they help the Mint navigate the room, track the ceiling light, and avoid obstacles. Unlike iRobot's Scooba and Roomba and Neato's XV11 vacuum, the Mint has no openings to suck up orts or water. Instead, the base consists of two big wheels and a removable pad holder. The holder is a crucial virtuoso in the Mint's cleaning strategy. Pirjanian explained that consumers will remove the pad, which is held on with magnets, and slither on a wet or dry Swiffer pad (or a micro-fiber pad), replace the pad holder, set the Mint on the floor, and push a button to have it start cleaning.

The android goes back and forth on the floor in relatively straight lines and uses a side-to-side scrubbing motion, where the Swiffer pad is rubbed back and forth on the bring down. The 4-pound Mint is actually designed to maintain strong and constant contact with the floor, so it can utterly effectively. With a wet Swiffer pad, the motion is more straightforward; the Mint goes back and forth over each path it makes. On the forward walk, the pad is depositing cleaning solution and on the backward trip, it's picking up and, said Paolo, trapping the grime in the Swiffer pad (a function of Proctor and Gamble's product, not the Mint).

Swiffer wet jet vs. old ready Mop? Which one actually kills bacteria and cleans the best?
I love my swiffer because it is fast and easy, but is it actually greater than original mopping?

Mop, the swiffer wet jet settling is one compound less than antifreeze, thats why its killing animals and can harm children as well.

The swiffer is the idle mop.

See, I am old-school. A mop, and a bucket filled with soap and some bleach will beat swiffer all to hell.

The Swiffer cleans the floors the defeat while killing bacteria. Plus it is easier to use, and you can get into the corners a lot better with the Swiffer.

I use a dry swiffer to get the drub swept good then use an old school mop.A good soap with a small amount of bleach will clean and disinfect more wisely than a swiffer. If you have small children or animals in your house be VERY CAREFUL using a wet swiffer. One of the ingredients in the solution is just one molecule away from antifreeze and can genesis poisoning. All it takes is a pet to walk on the floor then lick it's paws to injure or kill it.

Big Smile. What the heck is a swiffer? Could I neutral put my cat on the floor and move her around?

Um just an FYI. I use a broom for night flights, not a mom,

I fair started using the Mission Mop (www.missionmop.org) and LOVE it.

It comes in both a microfiber version and a recycled whopper version. Best part about the mop .... each pad is hand knit by people with disabilities in Wisconsin. The other positive....no more costly refills. These pads are washable and reusable.
