I have spent so much time & money on fancy dusters over the years & the replacement parts can be costly! now that I am older & a bit wiser I have decided to create my own! A greener option & the more you wash flannel the fluffier the frayed edges will become so even better. I have added a link for instructions for those who expressed interest in making one as well

Very Nice!! An option I will try. I use old wash cloths sewn together to form the pocket I need to put on a Swifer Mop. Works great on hardwood floors. Also cleaning with Vinegar water instead of expensive spray cleaners.

Vinegar works so well on almost everything I even use it to clean my washing machine! Thank you ~hugs~

Great idea! I already make reusable Swiffer dusters for my floor from the microfiber hand towels at the Dollar Store. I get 3 from a towel and they last a really long time. And I use old wash cloths and towels to create mop covers to mop the floor. Gonna try this one too. Thanks for sharing Loralye!

Great idea - where did you get the handle? Is it one you had previously bought with the fibers already attached?

Polar fleece works even better...I use scraps for swifter sweepers.
