The Swiffer system was a godsend when it first hit the shelves. It was simple, lightweight and super easy to use.

The one downside to a Swiffer is that it can be pretty wasteful - especially if you're constantly reaching for that sweeper after every meal, craft project, or rainy day.

To ease your eco conscience, slip a microfiber sock around the sweeper and get cleaning. You'll find that it does the job just as well and can be washed up with the rest of your laundry.

Saving time, money and the environment? What's not to love!
