Reusable Swiffer Wet Wipes Made From Old T-Shirts

My quest for finding new ways to repurpose old t-shirts and green my clean continues! This time I’ve set my sights on our floors. We typically use a steam mop to clean our hardwood floors, but I love the convenience of grabbing our Swiffer Sweeper for smaller jobs – I just don’t like buying and tossing those disposable wet pads.
After making homemade reusable disinfectant wipes out of t-shirts, I realized the same concept would work to keep our Swiffer wet wipes out of landfills – and it all could be done with just a handful of all-natural and inexpensive cleaning products!
DIY Swiffer Wet Wipes for Linoleum & Tile Floors:
The Swiffer and these reusable wet pads are especially great for tights spots like bathrooms – just be sure to choose the “recipe” that is right for your flooring type. (Click the link below to see hardwood floor recipe.)

Marilyn Saretsky on Apr 15, 2014I used Swiffer on my last kitchen floor and completely took the shiny finish off - it was a mess and there was no compensation.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
I can't seem to find the formulas for different types of wood. I have laminate and my friend has some other type of wooden floor.

Is there another soap one can use and does it have to be 'rinsed' off with a 2nd T-shirt Swiffer? I have tile floors and generally use vinegar and water or alcohol and water with a steamer but for quick jobs this would be great.
do you have a comparable idea for the dusters?
