will it work the same with the wet swiffter -
Love it,Love it,Love it!!!!!! Not sure how a regular washcoth or any other cloth works but this idea works great. After I dusted all my hardwood floors I just got a little brush out and ran it over the fleece to remove all the dust bunnies. When it gets dirty I will throw it in the wash. Thanks for the great idea. -
I love my Swiffer. But my son bought a "Windex Outdoor" much like the swiffer except the pads are larger and made of lightly padded cloth. Cleaning my front porch (painted concrete) was always nearly impossible and a horrible job before I used the Windex Outdoor! Quick wipe down with some Chlorox spray and then throw the pad it in the wash. I love it. It does not replace my siffer...just different uses. -
I got some microfiber rags at Dollar Tree and use those instead of the disposables... -
We have dogs, and I wouldn't want to wash them and reuse with the hairs that never come out though. So I have to find something cheap to use and throw away, or keep buying the pads from swiffer. Any suggestions? -
I like to use, used dryer sheets. two of them do the trick. -
Darlene Bingham I have 2 cats and often babysit dogs too. The hairs seem to come right out in the wash and get caught up in the lint collector in the dryer. They never get stuck on our clothes, so the fleece might still work for you! I've heard of people using the really strong paper towels too, but I'm still not sure that would be strong enough to hold up. -
I've been doing this for a while now. Bought a bit of clearance blanket fleece at the fabric store for a couple dollars! Works great! Can be sprayed with Endust to get even the finest dust particles. -
I have a Clorox Wet Mop that sprays the cleaner onto the floor and you then mop. The refills are not available in my area anymore. This fleece material should work for my Clorox mop also. -
I used paper towels (the cheap kinds) and didn't mind throwing them away when I was done. I've also used drier sheets and loved the scent.Now I'm looking at fleece although I have 3 dogs who shed. I figure if I swiffer with chlorox, the hair will come up and it'll wash in the washer (alone, no clothes). -
This is the best tip I have had in years! Thanks! -
Thanks, but ive been doing this for some time now. Its a great way to save money. -
Great idea. Think I'll try it! -
I've been making my own Swiffer cloths for ages.I do like the smell of the store bought ones but my dog was having an allergic reaction to the cleaner. So, I make my own cloths and use white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Does a great job! -
I found a knockoff for the Swiffer refills at Dollar tree (wet & dry ones) -
Great Idea thanks -
Awesome idea!!! Thank you!!! -
Thank you very much love the idea -
I sew a lot with fleece and now I know what I can use with all those left over pieces not big enought to sew with. thanks. -
what about using old sweats, the " inside part" should provide some scrub! I actually like towels. When cutting them , you will need to finish the edge or it will shed and unravel. -
Neat idea! I currently use dollar store fuzzy socks which I just slip/stretch over the end. -
love the idea of the fuzzy socks Janine!

Great idea! -
How do they stay on ? -
Jewell Wright, there are these little tabs that you tuck the edges of the cloth into. It's the same way the regular cloths stay on basically. :)
