I’m totally giving these slippers some love. They’re called Slipper Genie Microfiber Cleaning Slippers. Just slip your tootsies into them and when you walk around the house, you’ll be giving your floor a good cleaning. How’s that for effortless neatness?
The soles are made of a soft dusting material that can be detached for washing. Awesome invention. How I wish it were available in the Philippines. Or maybe I can just attached a feather duster under my reliable rubber slippers. What do you think?

Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,

I even saw one at the hardware and home section of Metro Gaisano in Ayala Center Cebu last year. I would think that Manila would have it, too, maybe in the home cleaning sections of the grocery stores? Or Ace Hardware, True Value?

January 4, 2008 at 4:58 pm (16 years ago)I actually fear it…hindi kaya nakakadulas s’ya? Cause I remember walking around in el cheapo slipper style basahans and I always have almost-slips. Alam ko we had similar thingies to wear atop our shoes in high school…they belonged to the same era when we had to clean the classrooms with bunot. Imagine my shock when I entered university where…gasp! We didn’t have to clean the classrooms.

I wonder if they are sold locally…

I remember visiting a grade school somewhere in Metro Manila once. Each day, one student was assigned to wear the “basahan shoes” while inside the classroom. Kumbaga sa board monitor, siya ang “floor monitor.” He/She didn’t really need to do anything other than use the “basahan shoes” when walking, and that in itself was supposed to dust the floor.
