We really like our swiffer mop, but I really, really don't like the cost of refills ($8 for 24? that's ridiculous!) So, I tried a new idea..... we have a ton of burp cloths (more than we'll ever need, even if we have another baby), so I took a couple of burp cloths that are really cloth diapers, cut them in half, and made that the pad on the swiffer.
Then, I made a solution of water, a little dish soap, and vinegar, and dipped the pad in it. It worked great! It wasn't quite as smooth as the swiffer, but it will work just fine and our floors looked great afterwards. (and it cost almost nothing!)
oh-- my friend Amanda said the solution should work just as well with just water and vinegar, and she puts a little lemon oil to make it smell better =)
