Washable Convenience Mop Pad Pattern
Almost everyone I know has a convenience mop; whether it be a Swiffer WetJet, a Clorox ReadyMop, or some other brand. I put off purchasing one for a while because I just wasn't comfortable buying into a product that I would be required to constantly repurchase items for (pads and cleaner). I finally bit the bullet and I have to admit I was hooked. I started out with a ReadyMop and eventually ended up with a Swiffer WetJet; which I love.
Every time I had to purchase mop pads or liquid cleaner I became less and less comfortable with the process; both as it affected my pocket book and the senseless using and throwing away of more paper. Over time I developed my own washable mop pads (both for the ReadyMop and the WetJet) and my own non-rinsing, non-streaking cleaning recipe.
With your purchase you will receive directions on how to use your existing paper mop pads as a pattern to make your own cloth pads; including photos of each step in the process. Which fabrics to use; I tested out over 15 different cloth combinations to find the best possible combination to eliminate streaks and pick up the most dirt and grime. You will receive step-by-step instructions showing how to convert your WetJet bottle so you can refill it. I'll also send you a free list of my top 3 (three) cleaning solutions for use on wood and tile floors. These recipes were culled down from 12 different recipes that I tried. They were selected based upon their ability to remove dirt, not streak, and not leave the floor dull or grungy feeling. And you get all of this delivered to your email for only $6.95!
How Much Money Can You Save by Making Your Own Mop Pads?
In my house, which has two dogs and three children, I used to purchase 3 (three) boxes of 12 mop pads a month at $6 a box. I also would go through 2 bottles of cleaner a month at $5 a bottle. This was a combined yearly expenditure of $336! To spot clean my floors? When you look at it that way who can afford not to use washable mop pads and refill their own cleaners?
The washable convenience mop pads can be made out of items you already have at home. The only item you may need to purchase is Velcro and $5 will get you enough Velcro to make 7-10 pads. The items you will need to convert your bottle will run less than $3. The ingredients for the refill recipes will cost you less than $10 for an ENTIRE year. You can go from spending $336 a year to spending less than $25 (including the cost of this pattern)!
It is important that you understand that the use of fabric on your mop pads is going to require more liquid to keep the fabric saturated enough to clean without streaking. If you make your own washable mop pads and continue to purchase your cleaning fluids you will easily be purchasing two to three times the amount of cleaner you did when using paper mop pads. But using this system will definately save one money over the long haul. Try it and see for yourself.
