Yep, there are both wet and dry swifferes.  I usually
use the dry one on the hardwood floors and then on the
kitchen floor run over with the wet one once a week or
so since the kitchen gets sticky.  The dry one picks
up lint and hair, too, which a broom never seemed to
get for me.  Or if it did, it would get stuck in the
bristles, which was gross.
