DIY Sweeper Wet Pads + More Kitchen Switch Ups

October 13, 2015 by Arena Blake 10 Comments

DIY Sweeper Wet Pads

Make these DIY Sweeper Wet Pads with items you probably already have! I’m working with Viva® Vantage® to switch up my kitchen routine with their paper towels, and I was so impressed with the results.

Here’s what you need to make DIY Sweeper Wet Pads:

  1. Viva® Vantage® paper towels
  2. Empty wet pads container or Ziploc bag
  3. 2 cups water
  4. 1 cup white vinegar

Pour the water and vinegar in your empty container or Ziploc bag.

Tear off sheets of Viva® Vantage® towels two at a time so that they remain connected. Fold them in half and place inside the container — I used 20 sheets, so I had 10 different wet pads.

Their sponge-like absorbency will soak up all the excess liquid.

When ready to mop, remove a set of Viva® Vantage® and wrap around the bottom of your Sweeper. Tuck the ends into the slits on top of the Sweeper pad — they should fit perfectly with a bit to fold over.

The stretchy-strength of Viva® Vantage® is perfect for mopping the floor! Even with the seam between the two towels, one of my DIY Sweeper Wet pads can mop our whole kitchen.

We just moved into a house with hardwood floors, so I am going to be putting these to use all the time!

Last week, I attended a party with Viva® Vantage® where I learned even more ways to switch up how you use paper towels in the kitchen!

Wrap Wine in Damp Paper Towel to Chill Fast

To chill wine fast, wrap the bottle in a damp paper towel and place in the freezer for 20 minutes.

Add a paper towel to fresh herbs to soak up excess moisture.

Add paper towels to bags of fresh herbs to soak up excess moisture and keep the herbs fresh longer.

Clean mushrooms with paper towels.

Use paper towels to clean mushrooms and other delicate vegetables. Viva® Vantage® is soft enough not to damage the mushrooms, but tough enough to remove any grime.

Place a damp paper towel under a cutting board to keep it from sliding.

    Let’s face it, cleaning the house isn’t exactly a thrilling adventure, but it’s a necessary one. Think of it as a way to clear the stage for the next big act of your life. As someone who’s been in the cleaning business for a while, I’ve seen firsthand how a clean home can brighten your day. For those larger tasks that require a bit more elbow grease, it’s worth looking into professional services. In Harrow, I’ve had great experiences with https://www.emop.co.uk/harrow-cleaner. They provide an array of services, from carpet cleaning to office cleaning, all at competitive rates starting from £17 per hour. They even offer cashback up to £150, which is a sweet deal. Booking is a breeze, and their eco-friendly approach means you’re doing a little good for the planet too. So, if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the state of your home, remember that help is just a click away. It’s like having a team of cleaning fairies at your service, ready to make your home sparkle.

    What a great DIY idea! These homemade Sweeper Wet Pads using Viva® Vantage® paper towels are not only cost-effective but also super convenient. I love how you used items already at home to create them – definitely a game-changer for mopping. The absorbency and stretch of Viva® Vantage® make them ideal for the job! I’ll definitely be trying this out, especially for my hardwood floors. Thanks for sharing!

    This is quite an interesting solution if you do not have a good vacuum cleaner at home. At one time, I chose tineco wet dry vacuum https://ca-store.tineco.com/ for this purpose, which has both dry and wet cleaning modes, which is extremely convenient in everyday life. And also, thanks to the availability of various nozzle options, you have the opportunity to comfortably clean any surface, even in hard-to-reach places
