I used this product called "Swifter" advertised on TV for quite a few years now and find it much more convenient than a mop. It's easy to use and the way it swivels allows you to get to those hard to clean places. With the different accessories that come with it you can use it to spray clean or dry clean your floors.
But I've discovered another use for the "Swifter" that makes it an even better cleaning aid. You can use it to dust interior walls and trim, too! Just attach a dry cloth to the rectangle end and press it along your walls and trim. A lot easier than standing on a step ladder with a duster 
I bet I can even dust my ceiling fans with the "Swifter" when it needs cleaning. Goodbye cobwebs and spiders, 
If your a "Swifter" owner what ways do you use it to clean around the house? If not what product do you find to be the best for you?

If your painting the Swifter is a good way to prep your walls of dust and dirt beforehand.
I've used the Swifter to clean my window blinds in place of a feather duster.

@dgobucks226 I use the Swifter only for light cleaning, for deep cleaning I use more traditional cleaners.
I do not think that Swifter is good at all to prepare walls for painting, it does not remove grease.

I have one, but I don't always use it as often as I should. But it's a good mop for the house, you're right.

I like not having to use a pail of water which I used when I had an old-fashioned mop. The accessories make it so easy to use!

@dgobucks226 I don’t sue my swift as a duster they make a duster swifter that I do use for like the fans and the walls that get cob webs but I wouldn’t use and actual swifter on my walls to scratch the pain or remove the paint if the walls are dirty. That I use a towels and cleaning stuff that I know is good for the wall and won’t remove the flat paint.

It is worth looking into if your country sells them or something similar. No buckets of water or heavy mops to lug around. Lightweight and easy to use and swivels to reach hard to clean places.

I don't own a Swiffer. Our little housekeeper uses a Webster (has an extended pole for getting cobwebs up near the rafters) and a little duster on a short pole. She sweeps and wet mops the tile and vinyl floors.

The extended pole is a good way to get at those cobwebs
