How to Make A Reusable Swiffer Wet-Jet Cloth

Look!  3 posts in 3 days!  I'm on a roll!

Several months ago, I did a post on how to refill your Swiffer Wet-Jet cleaner thingy.  One of my friends asked for a post on how to make a reusable pad thingy.  Well, here it is!

WARNING:  My finished product does not look remotely professional.  So no laughing.  

First, you'll need one of those "prefold" burp rags OR 7-8 pieces of some absorb-able fabric like toweling or flannel about10.5 inches wide and 4.5 inches tall; 2 10 inch long pieces of the loop side of velcro (mine was 3/4"); thread (duh).


If you're using a prefold, tri-fold it so that it's about 4.5" tall, measure 10.5" long, mark, and cut.  If you're using regular fabric, just stack them.

Pin the fabric together.

Sew it together.  Use a zig zag stitch to avoid unraveling.

Pin the velcro loop on.

Sew it on using any stitch you want.

Slap it on, and you're done! 

Now go mop that nasty floor.....
