Enjoy cleaning with Swiffer!!

I first saw this product in Tita K's IG post.  It got me curious, cause she said that it picks up dog hairs and it sticks to the fiber of her Swiffer.  I searched and searched until I saw Swiffer in True Value.

I didn't buy it.

Because I found it expensive.  In my head - why does a mop costs close to P1,000.00?  What is so special with this mop that it costs so much?!  I hesitated.

That was about 2 years ago.

The other day, I was with Cai and Kaye in S&R when I saw it again.

Swiffer.



Ask Cai and Kaye what my reaction was.  I was excited and undecided.  I then took one piece of this Swiffer *pack* and held on to it like a trophy.  I couldn't put it down.  I was like a child in a toy store, only what I am is a grown adult clutching an expensive mop.  I held on to it and kept looking at it.  I felt silly really - but hey, I'm old enough to enjoy and get kilig with cleaning materials.  Haha!

That same night, I tried it.  I was so amazed on it's ease of use.  I was mopping my bedroom floor like crazy.  I was like a possessed person who mopped and mopped!  Even Kailee and Connor joined in the fun.  I was so impressed with the product that I started to look for cheap refills on Amazon.



Last night, to prove a point and to show my helpers the wonders for this map.  I put on the wet refill, and started to mop the living room.  Yes, my helpers were watching me mop.  They complimented the scent of the wet refill.  They said it smelled nice, in my mind - I hope it disinfects too!  After just a few minutes they were amazed that I was done.  They saw how easy it was to maneuver the mop and how light it was.  So after mopping,  I flipped over the Swiffer - it was almost black.  Yes, my living room floor was that dirty!  This is considering that no one goes there, I don't have a dog anymore and that area gets mopped EVERY single day.

Since I'm Chinese and refills are hard to find, I turned the fabric over to Side B, you know - just to make the most out of the refill.  Hahaha!!  I mopped the entire surface again to prove my point that this mop is a miracle worker.  True enough - the fabric was CLEAN!  Now, I can rest - assured that my living floor is clean - ako na mismo naglinis eh!

I couldn't believe it too.

This Swiffer is really an ingenious product.  Yun lang, magastos sa refills.  But in all seriousness, the product is AMAZING.  It really held on to the smallest of hair, dust dirt and the leftover fibers of the traditional walis tambo!  I swear to you, this product is life changing.  Now, I plan to mop the floors everyday!  It's that convenient to use.  Even the kids can enjoy mopping the floors!  (One less task for the helpers)

My Yayas tell me that since it's quite expensive, why not use it on the walls nalang daw.  Good idea!  But I wish we can use it on all surfaces.  Hahaha!!  Better find myself a re-usable refill.  I need to turn on my McGyver mode and start experimenting on some stuff.

I do hope that I find a substitute for the Swiffer refills!

Now, I know the reason why this product is such a hit - it works and it's amazingly easy to use!  This will definitely make cleaning the house more efficient!  Perfect for those of us who don't have helpers.  No more going back and forth to the balde to dip the mop in the water and wringing the water out.  Wala ng ganon!!

I bought this Swiffer pack in S&R.  It costs P999.00.  Pack comes with the mop head, the handles, 6 dry refills and 4 wet refills.  Oh!  And also a Swiffer duster!

I promise you, sweeping and mopping with NEVER be the same, EVER.

  9. I reuse my dry refills till they're dirty na and don't pick up dust anymore. Note that you don't have to limit yourself to swifter brand refills, I get my dry refills from the dollar store and these ones, I don't even bother to reuse since they're cheap.

  10. I'm so curious! Mahal nga sya, but if it's really effective, why not? Di naman siguro sya for one time use? Di ba sya pwedeng i-wash?

  11. Nakakatuwa yung name, Swiffer, the sweeper haha. Pero this is a nice product nga. I don't mind mopping the floor, pero hate ko rin nga yung magbanlaw sa tubig and seeing how dirty the water is kahit may mop twister pa. Try ko nga to.

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a full functioning

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't think I can w

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen.  I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us.  I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat.  I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was.  I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe.  She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil.  So I stuck to baking for a while.  It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook.  When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up.  There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking.  It was there that I learned to whip something up with just ing
