Saving on Swiffer Dry Cloths

By Sandy (Guest Post)

Since can not get old baby diapers anymore (everyone uses Pampers) I cut up old T shirts for lint free cleaning rags. Cut off sleeves and stretch over end of Swifter mop (fit perfectly) and may be tossed in machine and reused many many times.

Yep, I think swiffers were just a "re-invention" of the old-fashioned dust mop.

I have one but I don't think it works all that well on my tile floor like I was hoping. I probably do just as well to just sweep first and then mop.

It is handy in a pitch tho!

Swiffers have to be the biggest scam to come out in a long time. Once you buy the flimsy mop, you find out that the replacement cleaning pads are overpriced. People use any old thing in their place. I've seen tips here for using old nylons, rags, used dryer sheets, you name it.

Remember old fashioned dust mops? I think they work just as well or better than swiffers, and no replacement cloths are necessary!

I use some old bath washcloths...they are the right size...then I use a spray bottle with my mopping solution in it...I wet the washcloth first, then spray some of the mopping solution on the floor too....every once in a while I use a clean washcloth....then I rinse them out and toss in the laundry....this works for me....
