Make Your Own Clorox Ready Mop Pads

RE: Make Your Own Clorox Ready Mop Pads Post By beamersquared (Guest Post) (09/07/2007) I buy the microfiber cleaning cloths at the dollar store. They work great. I cut small enough to fit (they are a little big) with enough left to just tuck in so it is snug, and use the leftover piece for dusting etc. RE: Make Your Own Clorox Ready Mop Pads Post By MrsMom43.

They are very useful & soft too . I like them for emergency wound care ,they hold ice for a Long time without breaking up & are extremely gentle when cleaning scrapes & scratches . I regard a package of wet wipes as an absolute car necessity too for the same reaons except the ice. & in the house I've used Them for cleaning crud off various surfaces in the house . The refill packs are Loads cheaper than the fancy Household clean up wipes & the stuff in them is safer for skin contact .

They can be found at walmart and come on a roll like paper towels but they are much thicker and sturdier. Each towel usually lasts a day or 2, at least. I use a big a dark green pot scrubber pad for scuff marks and the "clean mop" for getting greasy floors clean after cooking. I just plop the scrubber on top of the scuff and use mop to scrub. One scrubber last for months The windex mixture works well. No rinsing. * Hint: keep these shop towels hidden from your hubby. They love to use these. RE: Make Your Own Clorox Ready Mop Pads Post By mary (Guest Post) (05/23/2004) I buy 6 pads of scrubby dishcloths at Walmart for less than 3.00. One side is terry cloth the other side a light nylon mesh. It is the perfect size and not to bulky to poke in the attachment holes. If you put the nylon mesh facing the floor it makes the mop easily glide over the floors when you are mopping, easily removes any sticky gunk and won't scracth the surface of the floor. I have tried flannel but when it gets wet it is hard to push the mop and I had to keep sticking it back in the holes because it kept getting pulled out.

Toss in washer when done. Crochet a rag that is the same size as the mop pads and you can wash and reuse those as well. I buy inexpensive window cleaner because my kids love to do the mopping, but use a little too much to turn around and buy those mop refill bottles. They just spray the area they are mopping and wipe down. I also look at Walmart and Fred Meyer for their clearance racks for opened packages of those mop pads. I don't ever care what brand I get. If it doesn't fit my mop I still use it. RE: Make Your Own Clorox Ready Mop Pads Post By Terry (Guest Post) (05/07/2004) I have done this with those crocheted dish rags my mom in law made for me they have just enough texture to them for scrubbing the scuff marks up. I get the heavy duty floor cleaner from the SmartNFinal and water it down a bit to stretch it.
