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
Well, the only pads that I know you can wash are the Pledge brand dusting pads, and the Swiffer brand wet and dry clothes. Your mileage may vary with the other brands.
I just wash them in the washer then let them air dry. Then I just fold up the mopping pad and put it under the wet stack.
Now, the solution in the package will probably dry up, but you can buy a bottle of solution that attaches to the fancier versions of the Swiffer. I suspect it's the same solution and you can just replenish the solution in the package now and then, I would imagine!
That's my plan, anyway.
