...find time to make your floor squeaky clean doesn't mean you can't dream for that result. Next-generation cleaning gadgets like the Swiffer Wet Jet mop are making it easier to do backbreaking chores in no time.

Shop clerks and bank tellers at the end of the day have to scrub off the black grime money imparts to their hands.
