I know I'm late to this commenting party, but I had to say that I've seen weird vacuum covers made to make your vacuum look like a creepy doll (I suppose they're not creep to everyone.Dolls just weird me out. But I loved your creepy doll mobile! It's just that regular dolls look just as creepy to me.*Shiver*). Anyway, I wonder if you could sew some sort of steam punk character for a vacuum cover? Just my weird random though.Cowgirl68https://www.blogger.com/profile/03345602558147085951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-86160276071851457912013-10-08T14:25:14.260-04:002013-10-08T14:25:14.260-04:00Decided?

If you want something better than a Swiff...Hi Jen,<br /><br />If you want something better than a Swiffer and also environmentally friendly (Swiffers cause way too much landfill), try this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Enviroproducts-203433-E-cloth-Mop-Set/dp/B003WKSTJY/ref=pd_sim_sbs_kh_6/279-2128286-0788115<br /><br />You can also steam-punk it up rather easily. In fact, you could make your own with some copper tubing and a bit of ply-wood, some pressure clamps and some appropriately coloured microfiber cloths. Swiffer is a good concept, but finding something you can use in the same way without throwing the cloth out each time is a more ecological idea. Just think how much you'd save on just no longer buying disposable cloths?!?<br /><br />If you spray a bit of furniture polish on your dry rag it will pick up every little bit of dust and dirt just like Swiffer, then switch to a wet rag and get the dirt and smudges with just a bit of water (add vinegar to the water for stubborn messes). If you prefer the smell of a nice lemon cleaner then add the peels from 2-3 lemons into a jar with 2 cups water and 1 cup white vinegar. Use that to clean and you won't have to worry about adding chemical products to the water table as well. Just these two small changes can save you over $20 per month if you use Swiffer quite regularly. It'll cost you a lot more to make your own "Swiffer" than to buy one, but for you that equates to hours of fun and steamy accessories for your pantry!Joellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-82941138790240802013-04-01T15:40:13.099-04:002013-04-01T15:40:13.099-04:00I have a whole tutorial on how we did the cabinets...I have a whole tutorial on how we did the cabinets - including the finish - <a href="http://www.epbot.com/2013/02/diy-vintage-rustic-cabinet-doors.html" rel="nofollow">right here</a>.

We of four cats found a non-motorized alternative that to my thinking is almost as good as the genie. look up Omegapaw, it's like a standard litter box, but you never have to "scoop". Just roll it onto it's back, roll it back again, and pull out the drawer full of doodies. Freakin amazing IMHO. That and a little baking soda and you're good to go.
