Good to know, am going to go look at the Liquidators or at Stop and Shop and
see which one they have.
Can't go to target for another week or so.

I have both. I bought the Swifter first and it worked
well, but then I tried the Clorox one and it works
better on my extremely difficult white kitchen floor
(which I am going to change). The Swifter can be used
on wood, too, though, and the Clorox warns about that.
Also, the Clorox has more of an odor, though a
pleasant one--but it stays around a while. I don't
seem to have to use as much pressure on the Clorox as
on the Swifter, though, and the rod or whatever it's
called is sturdier.
