I need something to clean up after my baby eats. Would this pick up pieces of bread, banana, avocado, beans, etc.? Some of it just sticks to a broom

Yes, it would pick it up, but I wonder if the wet stuff would clog up the little brush roller and necessitate removing it and washing it. Better just get down on the floor with some paper towels. OTHER THAN THAT this little sweeper is wonderful for pet hair, dry crumbs and most other stuff. Both on hard floors and carpets. The best friend you will ever have as your kids grow up!!! Mine is 25 years old--the sweeper not the kid.

That is a great question. This unit is perfect for picking up dry crumbs and debris however when it comes to wet food like bananas, avocados, etc. this may not be the best option as it could stick and become difficult to clean the sweeper after use.

Dry pieces of food - yes, definitely! Wet stuff; not so much. It was not intended for that. It will get up the chunky wet stuff, but make things really nasty for your sweeper - ewe!

Hi BethI purchased this Bissell Study Sweeper because I have two puppies and I find it great for just doing a quick clean up on both carpet and wood floors. It is so easy to use. I am not sure about bannana etc as it may stick to the bristles, but for crumbs it would be great.

Yes - the pick up is very good for cheerios, unpopped popcorn and such. I have not been disappointed, and it is so quiet in comparison to other cleaners.

This is the manufacturer. The soft silicone bristles on the Baby Banana Brush do clean teeth, especially when infants and toddlers are eating mostly soft foods. The stimulation of saliva generated by using the Baby Banana Brush, along with the agitation of the bristles provides friction which breaks up soft food particles and milk sugars. If you prefer to follow up with gauze or some kind of "tooth wipe" that will also assist with keeping your child's mouth clean. Keep in mind that the Banana Brush can easily reach places that a finger cannot, and a child using it on their own will have a less traumatic association with brushing than one who has brushing done to them.

It will pick anything up. But i have a net i installed before it goes into the pump so it doesnt go through i just empty the net after the cleaning .. works really well

I am using regular bowls from an old set of dishes. The suction gets loose sometimes if I leave it in for a few feedings but it works pretty well.

Please be aware this is NOT A VACUUM. It does what a broom or mop would do. So yes it would pick up some dust on the cloth, but dust/sand would be pushed around also.

Banana's are real good. Any soft food works. Very easy for the baby to hold and handle.

The sweeper is great for sweeping dry food. I find the bristles to be soft and not as firm as I thought they'd be. It's a great product, however, I wouldn't recommend purchasing this item for picking up wet food.

I bought this in part to deal with cat litter. It does pick up litter if it is scattered in the middle of the floor, but you can't really use it to get around the edges of the box, where most of the litter seems to collect in my house. I tried it on clumping corn and clay.

I used mine to brown hamburger meat the first time, and was shocked that there was nothing to clean up after wards. Literally just wiped down once with a sponge and that was it. Love it!!

What a wonderful idea. I haven't tried it, but I can tell you, I sure am going to. WE bought our first Baby Alive this year for Christmas. It has to be okay. I think the main idea is to just have something that won't mildew and get gross, just in case it doesn't all get rinsed out with water. Great idea, good thinking! I think I'll just compare the consistency to Baby Alive food, and if it happens to be thicker, I thin it out with water to make them more comparable. Otherwise, I won't worry about it.

I have heard of people using beans, oatmeal, rice but they all sound like a mess to me. I suppose if you had a calm child that would stay at the table, it would work.

Hello Alicia....I have used this cleaner on my grill before and it did clean it up..I would first get any food off your grill first....And use a good sturdy brush.Not a sponge....Depending on how dirty your grill could be,you may have to clean it twice....I swear by this product and I use it alot..Good luck...Martha

I am sorry I don't know about baby food, but I use it on all sorts of fruits & it purees everything so I would imagine if you are using vegtables it would probably do the same.

Sorry, but I didn't buy it for baby stuff; just small utensils, etc. Don't know if it would fit your needs or not.
