Swiffer ? - For the super-thrifty only!

[tarheelmjfan]

Could someone please tell me what they use in the Swiffer Wet Jets for solution? The posts I've read say to use a regular floor cleaner. My idea of a regular floor cleaner is Pine Sol, Mr. Clean, etc. That's not what's in the Swiffer Wet Jet solution.

I have ceramic tile in the kitchen & porcelion (can't spell) in the livingroom. I use bleach with water... or white vinegar.. yes, vinegar... I deal with the smell since it works great....

Although I buy the Swifter replacements, my cleaning girl uses rags with the Swifter mop. I have a regular mop and some kind of other contraption where you put on some kind of cloth on the end of a stick to use on floors but she prefers the rags. I use the Swifter replacements for quick pick ups but she prefers the rags adn I don't argue

BTW- I paid $4.86 for a pack of 8 cloths. With each cut in half, that gives me 16 cloths. If I turn each over and use both sides, I get 32 uses out of the set. Plenty to keep me supplied while I have the already used ones in the laundry.

That's awesome! Microfiber cloths are truly amazing... they are awesome on windows too!

I cut a hole in the top of the cleaner container and refilled it with my own floor cleaner!!!

I tried to make my own solution for the Wet Jet but when I turned the bottle upside down to put it in the mop the water just leaked everywhere! What am I doing wrong?

Okay, I never thought I'd admit this to ANYONE but I ran out of the Swiffer wet cloths one day so I put the cleaner on the floor and mopped it up with a sanitary pad (the kind with the "wings")

I wouldn't actually recommend it to anyone but it actually did work well

I have tons of microfiber towels and have used them for the dry swiffer, but never tried them in my clorox ready mop. What a great idea! I love this board! I use them for regular dusting too, but the main thing I use them for is stuffing cloth pocket diapers, so I'll have to keep the diaper ones separate!

To the poster trying to refill the solution; I am just guessing, but you probably need to cut the hole in the bottom of the bottle so that when you attach it to the mop, it ends up on top.

A WHAT????!!!!

www.divacup.com - its a menstral cup. Reusable. People who get used to them (and they take some getting used to) love them.

I've actually put a wet dust rag on my Swiffer. I then mop my kitchen floor with ammonia. It works for those times I don't want to do a real mopping.

I use the cloths from 3M. They are a reusable dust cloth...sorry, I don't know the exact name. I use it, throw it in the wash and start all over.

That's what I do too. Ran out of the other's one day and decided to try the cloth(microfiber?). Works great.

Thanks! I finally got it! (after reading what you wrote about 4 times) I am mechanically goofy.
