Any fast and good way to sweep the floor? i use a broom and dustpan and i find it so very difficult to sweep the floor of my apartment. The dust keeps flying around, and i don't know why there are always so many hairs on the floor everytime. I can't seem to keep my floor clean.

Pls suggest?!?

There are cheaper "counterfeits" of the Kao magic wipes, only $1 per box of refills and less than $10 for the starter kit ("broom" plus wipes). Can get at that budget superstore at Chinatown, where Pisces used to be. Think the store is called "CK". Other places may have it too, like those small $1 retail shops in the neighourhoods. Rememebr to buy yhe KAO magic wipe 'broom' attachment from NTUC or other supermarkets. My wife swears to it, light and easy on her hands.

Anyone tried on the OSIM - Steam Cleaner ?

:p

Hi there petes, are the counterfeits wipes useful? I often clean up my room with the original and its burning a hole in my pocket.

Use the KAO magic cleaner and wipes, works magic! Not as tedious as brooms. Try it. Available at any supermarkets.
