Yay thank you so much! Getting pads is also SUPER pricey so I got some thick reusable ones on Amazon (green turbo mops) and LOVE THEM SO MUCH!
very nice thank you!
*note: When i was a kid and i went into the service, we had to clean floors every single day lol. The drill instructors taught us, and we were amazed, that Windex window cleaner in a 1 part windex, 2 parts hot water, and your usual amount of dishsoap is amazing. Get the water as hot out of the tap as you can get without it boiling or damaging the floor, works wonderfully well. It was explained to us that the detergent is just that: detergent. But remember the Dawn commercials? "Dawn scatters grease?" Its true! But that also means it repels the dirt and grease from being absorbed. Thats where the windex comes in. That stuff I swear - its magnetic lol! Im serious, try plain hot water on a bit of your floor and water with windex on part of the floor with the same dirt as the plain water. You'll see that all things being equal the windex side wins in a landslide. I personally like a bit more windex in that equation but play with it and see what you experience). Dawn cuts it, windex picks it up! It must be the ammonia who knows! Anyway a gallon of generic windex is dirt cheap, no pun intended, at home depot or lowes.
To save more money, dollar tree has pads that work with the wet jet . And they are reusable. Just toss them in the washing machine. No fabric softener. They are microfiber. The Fabric softener makes fabric less absorbent.
Started doing that years ago, one thing to watch out for is a leaking container it, will rust the motor and no longer work.
MotorHead that’s exactly what happened to me. Lesson learned.
How to make sure it doesn’t happen to anyone else? Just check after refilling and putting the cap back on if it’s leaking?
I’ve heard people cut a hole in the top of the container to refill it. Have you tried this?
Ha Ha my husband thought of that and used I don't some tool to open that little stinker of a cap and I have been refilling it ever since. Love that. I watched the toothpaste recipe video and I can't wait to make my own paste. Thank You.
DIY Swiffer WetJet Refill
Ingredients
1 cup distilled white vinegar
1 cup water
3-5 drops dish soap
My hard wood floor installer told me not to use vinegar. That over time the wood would cup. Have you had issues?
just use pine-sol or vim, or something like that that wont damage the floors. you can dilute it so it wont damage the floors. i
No vinegar on tile floors either, it will loosen the calking between the tiles.
I've always wanted a mop like this but refuse to buy one cause I have to keep buying their toxic cleaning solution. Thank you for sharing how to remove the cap!!!!
Any hacks for the expensive cloths?
Not sure if you have a Dollar tree near by your area but they have these cloth pads that fits right on it seemed it was made for it 😆, and they are only $1 I bought a few and reuse them
@@daryurias 🤔 I do have a dollar tree in my area but it's Canadian probably not the same as what you have. 😫
@@abbeyp8834 the Dollar Trees in the Vancouver, BC area have the reusable Swiffer cloth pads :D same aisle as the mop and broom section
I use the fuzzy slipper socks from Dollar Tree and just throw them in the wash
I am doing the same, but the motor sucks and the sprayer keeps getting clogged
Ty
Can this be used on old oak floors?
Use a kettle does the same thing
Good video, great way to save money!
This is a super trick which I intend to try. My trick is that I left the empty in the mop and cut a small section in the bottle that's up and poured my cleaner into that slit which works well but you have to be careful not to jolt cleaner out from the bottle.
Cut with scissors?
Do you cover the hole with anything?
I tried it as shown and it won't come off!! But I do feel a twist but not enough to come off
Adrienne Smith pliers only worked for me.
I think the trick is to leave it in the water long enough. I heated water in my hot pot and poured it into a large coffee cup for about 90 seconds, then used my zyliss jar opener and it came right off! Now I can refill with diluted solution of Murphy’s Oil Soap and water for all my floors, cork, vinyl and manufactured. Yays!!!
The kitchen oil funnel cups worked for me, not the hot water method. Get the smallest plastic measuring cup you can find, lightly jam it in the sprout hole in the top of the empty Swiffer Jet container and pour your solution into it. You might have to use the tip of a sharp knife to slightly widen the hole.
How do I open my swiffer bottle and refil it?
That’s what the whole video explained
I've always wanted to open those bottles. Thanks :)
i wonder if the swifter works in the bedroom ? ? ? or, maybe you wouldn't want that thing anywhere near your lingerie on the floor ? ? ? this swifter thing looks dangerous !, is it safe to use the swifter in a man cave ? ? ?
