I just got a Swiffer Wet Jet and it is ok for light cleaning. If the floor is really bad I have one of the kids do a hands/knees scrubbing of the floor (my back can't take that anymore). There have been some small spills that didn't get wiped up right away and I had to spray some of the cleaner on those and let it sit for a bit before it would come up with the mop but other then that, it works well. The one problem I have noticed is that it does a REALLY good job on the dog hair so if you don't sweep well before, it clumps up the dog hair and leave it in spots. I use a dry swiffer now before I mop and that takes care of it.
