\"How<\/p>\n

Do you own a Swiffer<\/a>? I love mine, but I have never liked the idea of having to buy the disposable cloths both from a money standpoint and an environmental one. But, what are you going to do?\u00a0Well, I’ll tell you. You can make your own reusable swiffer cloths!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you have any fleece fabric lying around? What about a fleece blanket you don’t use anymore? Instead of purchasing fleece fabric,\u00a0 try to be frugal and “shop” at home for reusable swiffer cloth supplies first.<\/p>\n

Once you have your fleece fabric you are ready to make your own reusable\u00a0 cloths.<\/p>\n

How to Make Reusable Swiffer Cloths<\/h2>\n

To make Swiffer cloths for dry mopping you will need a piece of fleece fabric that is 8 1\/2 inches by 10 inches. You can cut the fleece with a rotary cutter or scissors.<\/p>\n

That’s all there is to it. Just poke the fleece through the holes on the top of the mop and you are on your way to clean floors.<\/p>\n

I did a little checking of prices at the store recently and a box of 16 disposable cloths costs approximately $4.50 + tax.<\/p>\n

That would mean that I would spend about $9 a month on disposable cloths. In a year that would be approximately $108 for something that I would just throw away. I would rather spend that money on something else for my family, wouldn’t you?<\/p>\n

If you have basic sewing skills, here’s a DIY for Swiffer wet mopping. My mom is actually the person who came up with this idea, but her words to me on how she made it were, “Oh, I just used some terry cloth and elastic and that was it.”<\/p>\n

I needed a little more guidance than that, so I did some playing around and this is what I came up with.<\/p>\n

This reusable cloth is perfect for wet mopping. Here’s how to make your own.<\/strong><\/p>\n
