You can also use plain old piece of paper towel. Works like a charm, just push all the larger things that dont attach into a small pile and vacuum it up!

Does anyone know what I can use as a replacement for the cartridges needed on the Swiffer Carpet Flick. The refills are no longer made.

I just received some microfiber mits as a gift, but don’t like the feel of them on my hands. Your tips gave me the idea to use them on my swiffer wands. Thanks!

I vaccuum my swiffer cloths to make them last longer, as well as flip them between vacuums. A good slapping on cement while still on the swiffer also cleans them between vacuum days or if you don’t feel like getting the vaccuum out.

Old washcloths do a good job of fitting on the swiffers also. I have used them with the wetjet forever, throw them back in the wash and reuse over and over.

I did read not to wash microfiber clothes in the wash that will have fabric softener in the rinse water. Doing so will make it less effective with dust etc.

Swiffer Savers:

Once my bounce sheets no longer do their thing, I take 2 sheets, over lap them, put my swiffer on top of it, then tuck them into the holders, & away I go. My only complaint is that I still have to use a broom/dustpan to get my small pile into the garbage bin.

I ask family & friends for their used ones as well.

I know using bounce sheets isn’t the best for the environment, & I’m adding to the landfill in a way, but I’m using up the last of my bounce sheets this way. Once I’m done I’ll go to the microfiber cloth route which I never even thought of.

That’s my thing.

I save socks that get holes in them and slip them over the ends of my Swiffer to sweep the floors. Pull them off and toss them when you are finished.
