I think you answered your own question...
Aint that the truth!
I ran into home hardware the other day to pick up a few items including some basic cleaning fluid to mix with water in a bucket and wash my bathroom floors.
I had to walk down an entire aisle of fucking little pre-packaged boxes and containers of pre-moistened floor wipes in every scent, citrus, green apple, yada yada yada that were priced at something like $9.95 for 20 before I got to the good old litre bottle of Mr. Clean or Lysol which will wash my floors a multitude of times for $5.75
They made sure to place the good old cheap bottles of cleansers at the end of the aisle so you have to pass by all the boxes of prepakaged crap with pictures of butterflies, daisies, white clouds and the words FRESH!! CLEAN!! ULTRA!! ETC. plastered all over them
I figure how many of those fucking little moistened kleenexs does it take to do an entire floor? 5? 6? 9?.... so WTF? out of a box of 20 you can wash your floor 2? 3? times?
Is it really that much faster/convenient than using a bucket and mop to justify the $$$$
