I had to rant....Swiffer Wipes vs. Off-brand at Walmart...

I have a habit of desiring clean floors especially good smelling floors. I decided to splurge when I was pregnant and got Swiffer wipes. After I used them, I fell in love. They are easy and convenient. They cleaned well and made cleaning the floors quick. I used to spend three hours cleaning my ceramic tiles on my hands and knees. After the Swiffer effect, it took me 15 minutes. 

Well I am always trying to save money and found the off-brand wipes at Walmart. I bought them. Boy, did I make a mistake. I would be able to clean 20 square feet of tile with one Swiffer wipe but using the off-brand it took me 3 wipes. The smell was horrible... better description... smelled just nasty.

So in the future, I will continue to buy the named brand. Atypically, I am always the off-brand queen but I must admit I am going named-brand with the Swiffer wipes.
