DIY Reusable Sweeper Pads

Learn how to make DIY reusable sweeper pads for a sweeper or dust mop. Polyester fabric will pick up all the dust and debris on hard floors.

To encourage myself and my kids to do our sweeping chore, I got a sweeper/dry mop to make it feel fun.

What fabric should I use to make a reusable sweeper pad?

The best fabric to use for a reusable sweeper pad is polyester based fabric.

Supplies:

– 1/2 yard Polyester fabric like double brushed poly – Fabric scissors or rotary blade and cutting mat – Sewing machine or serger

STEP 1

Use one of the original disposable sweeper pads as a guide to cut out new reusable sweeper pads. I cut mine 1/2 inch bigger on side knowing it would still work with my sweeper.

STEP 2

Cut out as many as you think you’ll need or use your half yard of fabric. I cut out 5 for now.

STEP 3

Finish the edges of each rectangle with either a sewing machine and a zigzag stitch or a serger.

STEP 4

The zigzag stitch will tunnel the fabric slightly and create almost like a rolled edge, but it will help the reusable pad last longer than leaving a raw edge.

STEP 5

If your sweeper has a different design that needs a more exact shape and measurement to work, you can trim your reusable pads down to the right size.
