I bought these for my mother as a gag gift. She thought they were hilarious, and soon forgot about them. Then after a few months, she decided to bring them out and actually try them. She called me and told me they were actually fantastic for picking up dog and cat hair in between sweeps! Granted, she doesn't actually use them to clean her floors all the time, but she says they're great for the occasional sweep of the floor when she doesn't want to take out the Swiffer and use a pad. She also said they were easy to clean.
