Re: [h-cost] carpet sweeper
The of the ones I have works on the principle of a removable box that collects all the floor stuff so that all you have to do is snap it out for emptying and clip it on again. The other one works like a typical Bissell. You just raise the undersides and empty it directly in the wastebin; no pads to be replaced.

We cannot use vacuum cleaners in the restaurant because they kick up dust and stuff. These sweepers are fantastic!!! They even pick up french fries and ice too!!! They are $27 at Walmart.

How do they work on hardwood floors? My Border Collie sheds enough to knit a whole new dog. There, obligatory costume content--sort of! ;) Arlys At the restaurant where I work we use Bissel carpet sweepers all the time.

Re: [h-cost] carpet sweeper
I saw a commercial on TV for a new Swiffer - it's for carpets and has a sticky pad on the inside to catch the sweepings. They show it working with loose items, such as dry cereal. I don't know how well it would work with things that stick, like thread and cat hair. -Carol ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
