Planet Craft: Reusable Swiffer Cover

For today's planet craft feature, I want to showcase the awesome new item I just received to help 'green' my household cleaning methods.

This afternoon, I headed downtown to the workroom to meet Anglelune for the first time.  We "met" virtually a few weeks ago when she commented on my post about reusable make-up removal pads.  We exchanged a few messages and decided to have a craft swap - she'd crochet me something that I wanted and I'd make cards for some of her upcoming celebrations (a wedding and a few birthdays).  We arranged to meet today to execute the swap and look at what I got:

A reusable Swiffer cover! I think Swiffers are great; they're easy to use and effective, but throwing out the cloths always bothered me, especially since a broom only requires you to throw out the dirt and dust you've accumulated.  I'd been wanting a reusable cover since I saw the idea here, but because I can't crochet (yet - I'd like to learn), I knew I'd have to find someone to make one for me. 

Isn't it great?  I'm afraid I couldn't take any action shots because my Swiffer is still in storage, but once we move to our own apartment, I know it'll get a lot of use. I'm so happy that I won't have to buy and throw out the cloths anymore - I can just wash and reuse my cover. I love the colour too! 

Angelune also makes and sells adorable crochet starfish and lovely cotton scarves (among other things) so you should check out her etsy shop.  Merci Angelune!
