When Chris was Swifferring this morning, I asked him if he applied Febreeze to the cloth. I mentioned it's what I do every morning. "Why pay more for the scented variety when I can do it myself?" I asked. He thought I should share my helpful hints for living on a budget. So, "What a Tip!" is born.

What a Tip #1: If you're a fan of a dust bunny free room with a fresh lingering scent, grab your Swiffer and cleaning cloth. Spritz the cloth lightly with Febreeze or other room deodorizer before applying it to the wand. This way, you can purchase the regular cloths from Costco (sometimes with a coupon) and save yourself big dollars as the scented varieties are more expensive at your big box retailers.
