Has anyone bought a Swifer in Seoul? I think it would be perfect for cleaning my little box of an office tel. Maybe Costco?

No need to go all the way to Costco--they'll have it at your Home Plus. I'm guessing E-Mart and Lotte Mart carry it, as well.

I never heard of a swifer until I came back to Canada. I still don't quite get it.

I didn't see one at homeplus nor emart.

I bought one at E-mart. I've seen them at Lotte Mart.

I bought mine at the Yongsan E-mart. They're near the other "home" supplies, and kitchen supplies. Last I looked they were on an end-cap about an aisle or two from the aisle with the cloth sweepers.

I've seen them at the Seoul Station Lotte Mart and Guro-Digital E-Mart as well.

Best of luck. If you can't find it, just ask one of the employees: "Swiffer?"

i'm pretty sure they sell them at E-Mart b/c i have bought the cleaning wipes/ pads you attach to them. i didn't buy the actual swifer here though, i know it sounds weird but i brought mine from home, it broke down into 4 pieces and was really easy to pack.

i learned how to use a Swiffer last year in Montreal, when a new roommate moved in. she actually had to demonstrate, but once i learned i loved it! so easy, it felt like i was cheating and no really working hard. it's brilliant.

Sorry...They're not "Swiffers." It's the Scotch Brite version of swiffer. Same thing really. I was just at my Lotte Mart and they ren about 19000won for the thing plus a few cloths. To get to the E-Mart near Guro-Digital go out exit 3 of the Guro-Digital subway station. Walk down the alley that you'll see a little to your left in front of you. Follow it until you see a brick staircase. Go up the stairs and walk across the fountain area. You should now see the back of the E-mart. You'll be able to find the front door.
