Has anyone clever figured out how to refill the bottle without running out for more? Prices in NYC are really high!

No, but do you have Wal Mart. They are quite reasonable there where I live.

No Wal Mart
Every now & then I go to Costco

I guess that no refill yourself was part of the way to sell swiffers.

Of course, but a drill, a cork, your own mixture?

That sounds like a great idea :D:D:D

Guess I don't understand about the *re-filling* part. I use the swiffer with dry replaceable pads

I don't use the wet one. But the dry one--I cut up leftover pieces of cotton batting and just pitch it when I am done. If I want it wet--I just put a little water on it.

There are several "how-to's" on the internet for this. Do a google search "how to refill a swiffer bottle" and you should get tons of hits. My mom refills hers all the time.

Thanks!! I knew someone had this figured out!

I need to check into this too. What a moneysaver that would be.

I just followed the directions & it works. Put the lid in boiling water for 30 secs & it twists off!! Refill! Done! Yeah!

I did it without trouble. I cut a little slit on the soft plastic on the top, enough to fit the thin part of a funnel, and fill it up with another cleaner. I like Windex. I bought a bottle six years ago and never bought another one. For a while I was doing it with a 60 mL syringe and a needle hub, but took too long.

It is quite easy to unscrew the cap after 30 secs in hot water. My kids are quite impressed. I watched the guy do it onUTube & wonder what other tricks he has up his sleeve! Started Christmas wreaths today!! Think cool...

Thanks, Dotty!!! Love this idea. $5 a bottle is way too much for me on my tight budget, but I love the convenience of the tool. Janice

I have the "dry" version, and found that an old washcloth fits right onto the pad. Just rinse it out afterwards, and throw it into the washing machine. :thumbup:

Wow, and mine is running out! Thank you! I do make my own pads for it, just with rags, since they just go in the trash anyhow!

I would say we are 'going green'.

Yes! The fellow on U Tube uses Pine Sol w water & saves $$!

I don't own a Swiffer but I sure do love :mrgreen: their T.V. commercials --with that old sponge mop falling in love with bowling balls, garden rakes, etc. "Who's that lady....lovely lady...."

There is one thing that I wonder if someone could explain to me.... after you spray the cleaner on the floor, how does all of the dirty water fit into that little mop head without ever being rinsed or squeezed out before the floor is finished? I have a large kitchen floor (white :shock: ) and 4 golden retrievers who leave dirty or muddy footprints on the floor. I would love to be able to just quickly clean them up without getting out a mop and bucket every day.

That stuff is toxic! Can't stand the smell of it. I still have the mop part but I got a cheap spray bottle in the garden department (it does not require batteries) and mix water and pine sol in it, put a damp wash cloth over the thingy, and go! Yes, I know.... Pine Sol is toxic as well. Plain water works too. And the wash cloth is reusable.
