I may never use a broom again...

I'll never use a broom and dustpan again. 

I also think I may have decided what gift I should buy for every baby shower I ever go to.  

What do these two statements have in common?  - The Bissel Versus

It is so "THE BOMB".  For real.  Especially when you consider the challenge it has to clean up our kitchen 3 times a day after two VERY messy children. 

Paired with this - Eureka Hard-Surface Steamer - we now have clean floors (more often than we used to anyway)!

I cannot explain how sadly excited we were to have these arrive last week.  Giddy, actually.  In fact we spitefully avoided sweeping and mopping at all costs during the 5 days we waited for them to arrive.  Believe me...EVERYONE was glad when they arrived!

Now Paxton has clean (chemical-free) floors to crawl on.  Yay!

UPDATE (10/11/11) - We still LOVE both of these. That Versus is a must-have in every kid-friendly kitchen and has continued to work well for the past year and a half. And mopping with the Eureka has never been easier (or more calming).  Buy them.  Seriously. You (and your back) will thank me later.
