Disposing of Disposables- Cleaning Supplies, part 1

Swiffer-type floor dusters

Quit buying those replacement pads!! You can make them yourself!

Once again, I have found the Walmart remnant bin helpful in replacing this disposable. Go and find yourself some fleece remnants. Yes, fleece works WONDERFUL at dusting your hard floors (and everything else, more on that in a later article!).

All I did was put the fleece on the floor and place the head of the swiffy on it. Make sure you leave a little bit of fleece around the short sides of the swiffy. Pull the fleece up and over the long sides of the swiffy and give yourself enough fabric to tuck into the slots to hold it in place. Then just cut it out. Tuck the fleece into the slots and dust your hard floors to your hearts content! The fleece works wonderful at picking up dust, hair and lint. I always use both sides of the fleece before throwing it in the washer. As far as washing, just throw it in with the appropriate colors and wash like anything else. It does help to pull of any excessive lint before washing.

This is so easy, you’ll wonder why you spent so much time and money buying those boxed disposable types!
