Homemade Swiffer Wet Pads and Solution

I tried different types of cleaner, but the Swiffer refill is best. Is there anything that will clean as thoroughly as that? My floors weren't as clean with other liquid cleaners so I re-mopped with Swiffer and the pad was brown!

Help! I have owned my clorox mop system for ages. I have been unable to use it for a long time as I can not find in any stores in my locations.
What store chains carry refill bottles?

And better for the environment too! Thanks so much for the great idea!

I really like your idea it's very cost effective. I also have a friend that uses womens pads. You just peel and stick. If you can get past the fact that it's a pad! She swears that they work great!

I have found that paper towel's also work well and last pretty long. You can also spray Endust on and off you go. Everything on the towels easily come off and you can use them again. This is great if you can't seem to find any rag's because husband's somehow seem to get a monopoly on these things. dar

Mine leaked also. So now I spray a cleaning solution from a hand-held bottle. Not as convenient, but does the job.

I use a microfiber cloth on mine, after reading about it on another forum. I also refill the bottles with whatever cleaning solution I'm using at the time. Sadly, you can only do this a few times before the bottles start leaking, so I'm still looking for a reliable and easy way to reuse the bottles.

We do this too. And you can use a cheap and safe-for-the-environment vinegar/water solution on linoleum floors, as well.
