I use a Black and Decker PowerMop. You can buy them online. It is like a swiffer, but you can use anything for a pad and the bottle for the solution unscrews and you put whatever you want in there. PLUS! It has a handle you can pull up and it raises the 'swiffer' part and exposes a spinning scrub brush. It was the best 25 bucks I ever spent!

I don't buy the refills anymore, instead I use inexpensive white wash clothes from the dollar store.They are easy to fit to the mop and the fibers are like tiny scrubbers. I use glass cleaner as I go and rinse when needed. For the clean up, I use hot water and bleach in the washing machine! I also use the dry clothes on my mop for dusting my floors too! I think this is my contribution to being green.

You could add some velcro to those wash clothes to hold them on!
Just an idea~
How do you get yours to stay attached??

When I was visiting Costa Rica, (my husband's family is from there, as well as he) they don't even buy mops.
What they do is take the old worn out broom and a towel about the size of a hand towel.
Then they fold the towel in half and cut a slit big enough to place over the handle of the broom. As they mop the towel is either exposed the brissels of the broom for scrubbing or "sweep" the towel over the brissels for mopping.
I hope that I explained this where it makes sense.
