starter kit! YEAH! I LOVE my swiffer wet jet.

I have this coupon because the handle on mine broke and I called the company since there is a year warrenty on them.... yadda yadda... but I have 1400 sq feet of hardwood floor and I could not wait til the coupon came. So I bought a new one and you're now in luck!
I think that they are like $16-17

Any who.... post your "unique" cleaning tip and I will pick
this weekend my favorite.

I will use a dry swiffer pad to wipe down my bathroom counter and around the toilet and tub before I clean. This way it gets whatever kind of hair or dust before I use my cleaners this way my rag is not full of hair and I am not just moving it from one place to another. That driver me crazy

Use a fabric softener sheet to dust TV screens. The dust clings to the sheet and it repells dust from landing on the screen for a while.

(Bonus tip- the lazy man's way of dusting a heavily knick knacked shelf is use the air spray in a can meant for a computer keyboard.)

The refill cleaner bottles for the swifter are expensive. I have a big house with a lot of tile and wood floors and buying those bottle gets expensive. I can go through one in one day.

If you pop open the lid carefully, because it is a little tricky, you can refill them yourself.

I use a mixture of simple green (1/4) cup, vinegar (1/2 cup) and warm water. I can use this on my wood floors and tile. It works great! I save tons of money this way also.

BTW, my swifter that I own I have had for 4 years and it has not given me any problems but it would be great to finally get a new one.

My favorite cleaning tip is to use the magic erasure to take soap scum off the bathroom shower, tub, sink ect. It is great and no harsh chemicals. I found this when I was preggo with my second and still use it to the day.

hmmm we have hard floors and my best cleaning tip is to always sweep first yes this is common sense but then after sweeping i put my stuff id use with my mop [pinesole] and then use the wet jet instead of the cleaner they sell! Ooooo I hope I win! I have been posting all night and will have 50 REALLY soon!
