Swiffer dustcloths?
Swiffer dustcloths?
Anyone know where to find Swiffer dustcloths in Phnom Penh? Preferably brand name, but I'd take generic substitutes.

Home Top is always the best place to check first for western cleaning supplies.

I've lived in wooden houses and cement houses. Wooden houses have loads of geckos and spiders, bats and rats and snakes around. Ants won't survive that gauntlet. Cement houses just have miniscule gaps in them. None of the helpful predators I mentioned can get in. Drop so much as a morsel of cake on the floor in a cement house, and you'll get a river of ants coming in to munch on and carry off everything. I don't think buying any fancy wet-wipes is going to make any difference, just keep the place spick and span using normal detergents.phniew wrote:Rgrowden: I'm stuck in an ant-infested room with small children who are dropping bits of food everywhere.

What are you anti-authoritarian or something? Set meal times at a dedicated separate eating place. Structure & consistency! No exceptions except for birthdays..phniew wrote:I'm stuck in an ant-infested room with small children who are dropping bits of food everywhere.
But here ya go..
I think rugrats (don't have any) probably listen as well as my cats. My sympathies to you there.
My remark wasn't meant to be unkind, I just was always disgusted by how many choices of THINGS Americans were presented with in stores - hundreds of kinds of toothpaste, for example. Crass materialism. The more they had, the more they wanted. More is always better. Sorry. I looked at a picture of your mop - looked like a handy wipe cloth attached to it. But you wanted the ORIGINAL replacement. In a pinch you'd accept generic. It just pushed a button, and I said what I thought as I read your letter.

I checked Home Top -- it's got a lot of great stuff in it but unfortunately their stock does not include Swiffers.
I was hoping for the original because I'd tried various knock-offs in the US and they just weren't as good. Sometimes the brand name really is worth a price premium. Kids were sick, so formal mealtimes in a designated place were out.
