Reusing Swiffer CarpetFlick Pads

RE: Reusing Swiffer CarpetFlick Pads Post By laj (Guest Post) (12/01/2005) i was going to do that, but i think it is best just to buy the pads.it is not any cheaper RE: Reusing Swiffer CarpetFlick Pads Post By Sarah (Guest Post) (12/01/2005) My husband bought one of the Swiffer Carpet Flicks for me because it was on a sale and he had a coupon. Anyways, it is a doublesided sticky piece of cardboard that it uses.And a box of the refills were selling at Family Dollar for $5.oo, I am not sure how many were in it. Definately not worth it IMO. RE: Reusing Swiffer CarpetFlick Pads Post By Lori (Guest Post) (11/30/2005) I believe those pads are sticky pads so you wouldn't be able to wash them. Maybe you could try scraping the bigger particles off the pad. I think a regular vac would do a better job and not cost so much.

Just cut the J cloth to size and sew a seam around the edge. They stick to the bottom of the swifter and you can wash them over and over, actually they are better after a couple of washes. RE: Reusing Swiffer CarpetFlick Pads Post By Heidi Leeck (Guest Post) (11/29/2005) I don't have a swiffer myself, but heard on another forum you can make your own pads. Take a cereal box and trace one of the old pads and cut out. Place double stick carpet tape on both sides of the cardboard and insert in the sweeper.
