DIY Wet Mop Pads with Thieves

Thieves Household cleaner is the only cleaner you need to buy! 

This week I made wet mopping pads (like Swiffer without all the bad ingredients).

I already have the mop that takes the wet or dry pads.

What you need:

• dry mop pads
• a sealable container
• distilled water
• Thieves Household cleaner
• Thieves liquid dish soap

1 cup distilled water

1/2 cap of Thieves Household cleaner

1 tsp of Thieves dish soap

Optional: add a few drops of lemon essential oil for a more lemony smell. 

This is the same recipe I use for the thieves wipes only halved! You can find the original post here. DIY Thieves cleaning wipes

The 32 count is about $7.00 in our area. That is about the cost of 24 wet pads if buying generic. 

 I already had the container so $0 for that for me. :) 

This is how they look once soaked. I found it didn't take the full 2 cup recipe that the wipes did. Next time I make wipes I will do the sweeping pads at the same time and just add about a 1/2 cup more water. 

I was very pleased with how well they worked and didn't leave a film on my floor. Once again they are less expensive than the chemical filled product at the store and it takes only minutes to make.
