My Swiffer WetJet is officially dead. I killed it. I was going to buy a new one, but wondered if there is anything else out there that's better for hardwood floors. I never really liked that thing anyway, but used it because I bought it.
I'd like something that does it all. Vaccuums up the dirt/dust and then turned into a mop! Does this exist?

But in order to save money, bc those refill things can add up, I was looking for an old fashioned dust mop. They are hard to find! We had them growing up! I did find at Target and I think around 20.00 a dust mop/cleaning mop for hardwood or laminate floors.
Instead of being round the fuzzy mop part that collects the dust bunnies etc, is long. When done dusting, you shake it out. Then easily you flip it over and the other side is for mopping! I get a product you spray on the floor that is for hardwood or Laminate floors. The whole mop thing, can be take off the handle and washed in washer. Let it air dry.
So that is what I am using now.

How dead is it? Silly question I know, but if it isn't producing steam, here is something you can try. Mine went out a few months ago as well and before spending $80 on a new one, I did some troubleshooting research. It is now working as well as it ever did. First, turn it over and you will see a small hole where the steam comes out. Take a toothpick or small wire and run it up that hole. Then fill the tank with vinegar, pure vinegar, not diluted, turn it on and run it through the entire cycle, pumping as you go. If it does nothing it is probably dead. If it is just slow, once it runs through one cycle, do it again. If you can, do it outside as the vinegar gets very strong.
Also, always empty the tank once you are finished using it.
