I try to remember to store my Gillette Sensor in alcohol which has the same effect, since like you said – it’s the rust that dulls the blades.

My wife also uses our microfiber clothes on here swiffer… but she bought a generic swiffer mop for $1 at the dollar store! Can you believe that? She’s been pretty happy with it so far too. Go figure right.

I do have a swiffer wet jet, which I had a love/hate relationship with. I love the convenience and it’s awesome that I can mop without having to wait for the floor to dry (very nice when you have a toddler running around). I had considered getting rid of it, but instead, decided to try and be more creative. Yes, I had spent $20 on it, is throwing it out the best idea? Not for me. I did some nosing around online and discovered how to open up the non-refillable bottles and now I can fill it up with some water and vinegar and clean with my swiffer for just pennies. As for those crazy expensive pads, I made my own reusable pads from some cheap towels and even a couple of microfibers for when I want to dust mop. And the best part is that I can wash those with my homemade laundry detergent.

Oh, another tip, disposable razors are actually able to be used for 6 months if you dry them with your hair dryer and put a little bit of oil on the blades when you are done. It’s not that the razors are dull, but that they rust up. Now I find coupons in the paper for any razors, and get the smallest pack, which is usually the 3 pack and with the coupon it’s typically about $1, sometimes less if you can pair it with a sale at a CVS or Walgreens, etc.
