Re: "swiffer" wet mop refills
Amazon do a ton of 'swiffer' stuff - are these refills what you need?
I've bought refills for my long handled duster from Amazon as I have not seen them in the shops.
For a floor mop, I have switched to a vileda mop with a washable microfibre cloth -
These are available in shops.

I'd never heard of them so not sure if these are the right things, but it looks like UK Amazon has some stuff like this

Yes those are them from Amazon but whew, they are expensive! Might just throw in a few boxes from Costco and then buy something similar in UK!

I used to use the large baby wipes on my swiffer wet mop, I figured they had less chemicals in them and if they cleaned a child's ar$e they should be safe on my floors if the kids were crawling around! Plus they were cheaper than the swiffer refills and did a great job on the bathroom tile floor.

Also, if anyone has a dry swiffer broom, instead of the pads they sell for a fortune, use dryer sheets.

On a different yet related note, if you have any Corning casserole ware that you like hang onto them - they're more expensive here, same for Corelle dinnerware if you use it.

Re: "swiffer" wet mop refills
I was intrigued by your post as I have a Swiffer too that I would take back with me. I did a quick search on line and in the UK you can get a mops by Flash which look exactly the same as the Swiffer line. You can buy Flash wet wipes for their mops in the grocery stores, from what I can see. I figure these will fit the Swiffer.

Re: "swiffer" wet mop refills
I've also ordered Swiffer mop and duster from Amazon. Thanks for the tip about the wipes and dryer cloths. In the US, I just bought generic refills.
On a different note, are all the brands of aluminium thin as tissue? Same goes for the cling wrap! We've got Sainsbury's, Tesco, Lidl, and Waitrose where I live if someone can tell me a good brand of foil and cling wrap.

Lidl sell a good quality foil that is thick enough for most uses, their cling wrap is good as well.
