I found this out while surfing the World Wide Webs a while ago, but only just recently had a chance to try it. It was a roaring success, so I'm sharing it here. And with pictures! Wow!
First, you'll need pliers
and your old, empty Swiffer WetJet bottle (I had already refilled mine when I realized pictures would be good).
Using the pliers, twist the cap until it starts to turn on it's own. Remove the cap. (Action shot!) (Also, after the initial removal of the cap, you shouldn't have to use pliers again the next time you need to refill it.)
Fill with your favorite floor cleaner (I recommend vinegar and water. Cheap, efficient, disinfects, and it won't kill the kiddies).
Put the cap back on, tightly. Put it in your Swiffer WetJet.
And you're done! You're now all set to make your floors look like no one lives there (at least until you let the dogs in. Or your daughter spills something. Or your husband. *Sigh*).
My biggest problem with swiffers is the disposable parts it involves. I'm too cheap to keep buying things over and over again. You've taken care of one problem, now what about the pads?
ReplyDeleteOh, I've got that covered too. I'll try to post it soon. Remind me if it's been a bit.
