Linking up with Melissa for The Pinterest Project
I'm loving this link-up! It makes me actually use my pinterest pins!
We moved into a new place and all but the bedrooms are tile! I love my swiffer, but knew that I would be spending a lot of time and money trying to keep this whole place cleaned. I merged together a few different ideas in order to make homemade dry and wet swiffer pads.
I had some micro fleece left over from making my DIY T-shirt blanket so I used that. You can also use micro fiber cloth.

1. Take a dry swiffer pad you already have and lay it on your fabric.
2. Cut around the pad to make a rectangle approximately the same size. Repeat! I made 12 because I knew I would be using them for both dry and wet.
3.
Put on your swiffer using the standard holes. No need to sew if you use micro fleece/fiber!
4. Sweep up those floors! Seriously, I needed this! My floors are a mess, I swear I had vacuummed the whole place the day before!
5. For the wet cloth, you can use any solution you already use to mop your floors. I use a mixture of 50% vinegar and 50% water. I mixed them up in a squirt bottle. You can then either spray directly onto a clean cloth or spray on your floor and mop over!
I also added a cute basket to my laundry room where I can place all of the dirty ones before they go in the wash. No dirt getting mixed in with the clothes!
i can't wait to try this. i have a swiffer and i feel like i ALWAYS run out of the pads and spend so much money on refils, especially for the wet ones! this is fabulous. yay!
ReplyDeleteI know! My wet ones never seem to stay very wet either so this has been a great way to do it.
DeleteWho knew it was that easy? I have a huge box full of those expensive refill pads haha. I totally need to make my own & it never crossed my mind. Thanks for linking up to The Pinterest Project!
ReplyDeleteThey've already been a life saver and were so quick to make!
DeleteI need to do this! I have had a crocheted one pinned forever, but this seems so much easier. LOL
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up to TPP :)
can i go to Joann fabric and ask for microfiber cloth?
ReplyDeleteI never heard of this before.
I am so sorry I just got to this. I've been kinda on a hiatus during the summer.
DeleteI'm sure if you ask they would have be able to point you in the right direction. Mine is called microfiber fleece and can be found and Joann Fabric with all the rest of the fleece. Hope that helps you!
