Swiffer Magic

Back in the day Swiffer came out with that nifty sweeper, you know the pole with the disposable pads that pick up dust and hair off the floor.  Well I used mine until I got the Shark which vacuums up everything and then steams the floor clean (LOVE IT).  I still had those cloth like rags left, which work great in the car for cleaning the dash dust and the pole had made it to the garbage bin.  That is until my brilliant idea came to light.  

I was in the kitchen scrubbing the cupboards and had worked my way up to the ceiling, which was in dire need of a bath.  I tried using the counters, but a person can only stretch so far, and who wants to climb up and down a ladder a thousand times.  I grabbed the mop, but that was a dripping mess, and that's when itt hit me - the Swiffer pole.  I rescued it for the garbage bin and grabbed one of the cloths.  I filled the sink with  cleaning solution and dipped the cloth in and  rung it out.  I then attached it back on the pole and scrubbed down the ceiling.  When the cloth got to dirty I rinsed and reused.

This came in handy when preparing the walls for a new paint job too. So remember just because it's old and out dated doesn't mean it's lost its usefulness. Also, if you run out of their cleaning clothes you can use an old wash rag, which work great on really tough spots.
