Saving on Swiffer Dry Cloths

RE: Saving on Swiffer Dry Cloths Post By Sandy (Guest Post) (09/03/2006) 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.

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! RE: Saving on Swiffer Dry Cloths Post By Mary (Guest Post) (08/22/2005) 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!
