You guys remember the Baby Mop? It was a onesie lined with microfibre finger pads that cleaned the floor as your toddler crawled around. That was an awesome product! Well now you can have the same sort of "innovation" for the rest of the family. The Floor Cleaning Slippers' soles are lined with microfibre finger pads as well, which pick up dust and small debris as you walk around. Sure, it's only going to clean the most walked-around areas in your home, leaving corners to collect all the dust bunnies you didn't pick up. But we suppose it's better than nothing. The soles do detach easily for cleaning. And at $5 for a pair, who not get one?
