You still have to sweep, but the Swiffer damp mop is great.  You don't have
to fill up buckets all the time, its fast and easy and I've even managed to
refill mine with Mr. Clean and water instead of paying for a new refill.
(That may seem a tad cheap, but with these big messy dogs........well, you
know how often floors need mopping!)
