That reminds me of a funny story I read about a couple of women duct-taping maxi pads to the soles of their sneakers and swiffer-skating the kitchen floor.

When I was in basic training we found that maxi pads were the best things we could find for applying wax to the floors.
oh god! reminds me of my younger years growing up in the Philippines. When I was a kid, it was my task to apply paste wax to our hardwood floors and polish them off manually with a coconut shell husk brush using our feet. Imagine dancing the Twist with these husk brushes. Then someone invented these coconut husk "shoes" and it was so much easier skating across the floor with these. However, they didn't do as good a job as the hard-labor coconut shell brushes. Yes, we were too poor to get an electric floor polisher in case you'll ask why we didn't just use one of them.
I'm sure the comparison applies--mopshoes are probably not as good as giving the floor a real good old-fashioned mopping
