Reusable Swiffer Cloth

It always bugs me when I buy something with the full intention of throwing it away. For example, Swiffer cloths. In fact, I don't have any right now because of that reason. Here is one super EASY way to make a reusable cloth for the Swiffer.

You will need:
- Fabric- fleece, flannel, terry cloth would all work great (Think "recycle" here...old fleece jackets, blankets, old flannel shirts or pjs, old towels or robes, etc.)
- Scissors
- Tape measure/ruler

1. Measure your Swiffer pad. Measure around the pad from pinch hole to pinch hole- plus some. Then measure the width. OR if you have Swiffer cloths on hand, just measure the dimensions of the cloth...duh! OR I suppose you could just trust my measurements would work for your Swiffer, too.
Mine measures 9 inches around and 10 inches wide. Let's add 1/2 inch to the 10.
Dimensions are 9" x 10.5"


**Note about fabric choices: if you choose fleece (or other fabric with a stretch), you need to figure out in which direction it stretches. You want the fleece to stretch in the direction of the long side of the Swiffer- you do not want it stretching around the pad.

2. Cut this rectangle out of your fabric.


**If you go choose a flannel or terry cloth, you might want to serge or zig zag stitch the edges to prevent fraying.

3. Attach to the Swiffer pad.

4. Now go Swiffer!
