Reader Tip: Shamwow as Swiffer Pad Replacement

Yesterday we published a post about whether the Shamwow really works and in the comments, along with some reader product reviews (both positive and negative), a great idea was posted by Breanne...

posted originally from: AT:Chicago

She commented, I cut mine down and use it instead of SwifferWet refills. Just rinse and reuse!

Dayjay responds:

what is it about that commerial? i can't stop watching no matter how many times I've seen it and then i find myself mouthing the words....

and the swiffer idea is great- i don't have to buy those stupid refills anymore. i have been enlightened today.

and Julieleanne says:

Good suggestion with the Swiffer pad replacement! I will definitely be trying that one.

So, end result? If you already have succumbed to the the Shamwow sales pitch, this may be a great way to get some good green use from them.

You can use the fake chaimois towels found at the car wash area of your local store.

I'd buy one just because Vince (the guy pictured here, but NOT in the previous post) has a great, inspiring story. He was shunned by the church of Scientology and he's trying to make money for his indie movie. It's an interesting tale.

Well, it's supposed to be a terrible, terrible movie, but you gotta give the guy credit for being willing to publicly take on a very scary, very powerful cult.

Breanne is a genous, let have her work on the economy.
As far as Vince is concerned, one word - WOW!
