I was purchasing a refil for the dry cloths that accompany the vac when I saw next to them on the same shelf the generic brand box of the same thing. Not only were they about $3 cheaper but the box had double the amount. I use them every single day, and depending on the dirt amount I will turn them over to use the other side. I buy one box of those once every 3 months or so. Very economical for an uncrafty person. I have the Swiffer sweeper vac and love it considering I have small children and no carpets in my house.

I just poke it into the holes of my swiffer vac, when finished I just launder the cloth with my husbands dirty jeans.

Think I will knit some in a plain garter stitch in some pretty colors and give them with a swifter as part of a wedding shower present. Maybe knit a few dust clothes to go with them and a storage bag to keep them all in. It would be a little extra to go with the towels I had plan to buy as requested on the bridal gift register. Neat idea. Think I will make myself a cover first and try it out. This mop/swifter reusable cover is giving me some ideas.

Works well. I also use baking soda to scrub cast iron pans rather then soap. The baking soda soaks up grease and is gritty enough to scrub pans clean.
