How to Swiffer without a Swiffer

Posted by Eric

Sick of dragging out a huge mop + bucket of crappy water around, I needed a new solution to a dirty linoleum kitchen floor - without needing to buy a Swiffer.

Here's how I did it:

  1. Sweep the floor as usual, picking up loose dirt and things, put in a dustpan and throw in the trash. Well, don't throw it - it usually ends up back on the floor that way.
  2. Get some of your favorite cleaning wipes. They come in a plastic canister, are moist, and you pull them up as if they were tissues. Soggy Kleenex if you will. Either way, I had some of the Clorox brand wipes from Target.
  3. Pull two of them out.
  4. Place on floor. Don't drop them, you're not good enough to have them land perfectly flat.
  5. Step on them with shoes on. I recommend Saucony running shoes.
  6. Do a little dance. The trick here is to scrub back and forth with your feet staying on the floor. Try to incorporate "The Robot."
And you're done! Depending on how filthy of a pig you are, you may need to use quite a few cleaning wipes, but compared to a Swiffer, it's more fun and less expensive!
