Making Your Own: Dry/Wet Mops

I know that a lot of people to really love to use the newest convience items out on the market. So I did a little research and there are lots of great ideas for cheaper and reusable alternatives. I'll start with one today and as I find more good ideas, I'll add to this list!

Here's some alternatives for dry mops (Swiffers):

*Cotton cloth diapers-they sell this in the baby section of most stores for a reasonable price. One person recommended putting them in a ziploc bag with a tiny bit of water and let them soak it up. They are just slightly moist and are supposedly a good fit for the swiffers if you already have one.

*Pantyhose wrapped around a broom is supposed also work well at picking up dust, etc. and you can wash and reuse those as well.

*Other not as friendly, but cheap, alternatives were: facial tissues with lotion and dryer sheets.
