Martha has a great tip about making yourself a cleaning apron. I always end up ruining whatever shirt I clean in so this is probably a great idea for me.
Cleaning checklists are also a good way to organize your cleaning. I find that if I break it down room-by-room and spread the cleaning out over a week, it isn't as bad.
Greener Cleaning Essentials
Look Ma No Patterns has this tutorial for making swiffer wet jet pads.
I actually have made many of these out of fleece. A few other suggestions if you don't really sew:
1) Cut up old t-shirts or receving blankets to use with your dry sweeper
2) Cut old cloth baby diapers in half. They are really absorbent and work great.
While I am on this section, I just wanted to make a note that I do not use swiffer solution. I found that the cap would not come off, so I took a knife and stabbed a hole in the top of the bottle. I know just refill it with water or water and vinegar. I love the convenience, even if it does use batteries (I do use rechargeables).
