I use a Swiffer too. Afterward, I wash the wet pad and lay it on the counter to dry. Then I fold it back up and put it on the bottom of the stack in the box of other wet pads.
I'm so chinchy!
Also, you know how the pole (on the basic Swiffer) has three connections, not including the handle and the pad attaching base? I only put two connections together and it makes it just the right size for Joshua!
I didn't know you could wash 'em, but I will do that now. I threw out the fluffy Swifters, but I will get more if I don't have to throw them out. I buy generic Swifter pads at Walgreens, they are quite a bit cheaper! LSA
