DIY Swiffer Wet pads!




Good morning ladies & gents!

Today I want to share with you my DIY recipe for Swiffer Wet pads! Say "so long!" to spending $10 on a box of wet pads every 2 weeks, because you can make your own for a fraction of the price! These pads are thinner than the Swiffer pads that you're used to, but they do just as good of a job at cleaning, and are an incredible bargain for family's on a budget! :-) You will need only 3 ingredients: 1 which you can find at your local hardware store, and the other 2 at your local grocery store!

Enjoy! :-)


What you'll need:



  • Scott "Rags In A Box", 200 ct. (Sold at Ace Hardware, The Home Depot, Lowes, Sears Hardware, Staples, Office Depot, & Amazon.com).

  • All-purpose cleaner spray of your choice (I like to use Method Pink Grapefruit or Lavender All-Purpose Cleaning Spray (Eco-Friendly), or Windex Multi-Surface Antibacterial Spray).


  • Long, rectangular Tupperware container for storage.





Directions:


1) Tear off 36 rags from your "Rags In A Box" and place them, folded neatly, into the bottom of your Tupperware container.

2) Pour in your All-purpose cleaner of choice until all of the pads are just dampened/ saturated!

3) When you're ready to use them, pull a sheet out and attach it to your Swiffer in the same way that you would a regular Swiffer pad and start cleaning! :-)



Price difference?


Swiffer Sweeper Wet Mopping Cloths, 12ct.- ~$8-10/ 36 ct.- ~$14

DIY Swiffer Wet Pads, 200 ct.- < $14



Benefits?

You can choose any scent of a cleaner that you want (Ex.: Lavendar, Vanilla, Pink Grapefruit, Lemon, etc.).

You can change up your All-purpose cleaner based on the floor type that you are cleaning (Hardwood, Linoleum, Tile).

You get more than 5x the amount of 36 ct. Swiffer Wet pads for less than the price of one package!





Have a great day!
