When I did the hot water method guess my hands were a little weak, was sp busy. Well not long ago mentioned this to my husband. He used his chattel which is like a wrench. OMG, what can I say. I love my Mr. Clean the green one. So far during my search hacks, think yours was the one that came up first. This worked like a charm for us. Thaks so much.

[@monserratelapuerta2320]

Thank you for your hack,I'll be using Murphy's oil. Your sink is absolutely beautiful and clean way to go.i love a clean sink.

I like the Swiffer solution but I’m on a fixed income & can’t afford to keep buying solution & batteries & pads 🔋.. so I try your solution & asked for batteries for Bday or Christmas thank you for helping me to keep my swiffer ! 11/22/22💐

[@marignanmarignan9740]

Next time ask for the rechargeable ones(they have them at the $store)and the little charger to go with .it will last longer😜and you can replace the pads with a microfiber(again dollar store) that you wash 👍

[@castielmaverickwentworth82074]

Buy reusable pads you can wash in the laundry. I do. I am on fixed income too.

[@novelist99]

Thanks. I just got my Swiffer today, and that fragrance in the cleaner is giving me an asthma attack.

[@lizmccann4772]

Thanks! I’ll try this. And then I think I will file down the plastic nubs inside the cap so it’s easier to take off next time.

[@cocoblac]

I tried boiling the lid which did not work for me but your method work a treat thank you so much.

[@lydia5684]

Same here. Isn't this guy wonderfull?

[@sweetnpoison2u2imvu84]

Another hack instead of a wrench is boil hot water. Place the top in the boiling for 90 seconds grab a towel so you don’t burn yourself twist the top off you will have to do this each time because it reseals itself. Hope that helps

[@tingram802]

After getting the top off, clip the little “teeth” off with nail clippers so it just screws off every time

[@hcmangs3634]

That worked!

[@booshine187]

Thank u

[@wendychesson3304]

Use a turkey syringe to fill it up it really works good❤

[@kcjones7449]

Love this ❤️! Thank you for sharing this it is great to use my eco friendly mix instead of theirs. 👍

[@lisamoran4511]

Dip it in really hot water for a few and it will unscrew and then put your own choice of cleaner and water and put that cap back on twist it and it will reseal and be able to use it

[@LynnFleming-d5c]

Yes I'm sensitive to thank you be blessed Amen 🙏💯

[@hcmangs3634]

Thank you!
I ended up getting cap off with hot water (tip from a comment)

[@DIYLifeTech]

Yes always great to get the community chiming in and sharing good ideas

[@trustmalik8854]

Murphy oil soap can be used on porcelien tiles and hope it wont make floor sticky after mop as its original solution make tiles sticy

[@booshine187]

Can I use mr. clean

[@theozarksjourneytoself-suf5420]

What about the different shaped top for the newer power cleaner with the larger mop head?

[@DIYLifeTech]

I have a video for that one too! lifetechshorts.com/2023/08/02/diy-how-to-refill-your-swiffer-power-mop-containers/

[@thatsmyopinion.whatsyours8825]

what kind of floors are you using this on?

[@robira1313]

What can I put in the container to use to make my porcelain floor SHINE!

[@yennyolivares3788]

Thank you, very easy and fast to do!

[@barbaraann9308]

to get the top off soak in boiling water for 90 seconds and comes right off..

[@sammysam1970]

Yes 90 seconds !! It works !!!

[@idkwntc4302]

That’s how we do it! 😬

[@julianaramirez6447]

It didn’t work for me and I put an extra minute and still

[@contessiahudson9941]

I busted my cap hole is there any ideas on how I can still use it

[@mrsbillionaire]

As an alternative, you could just use a spray bottle to wet the floor. Not as convenient as having it sprayed from the mop itself, but it works.

[@Heartfelt-zv7wh]

Or buy another bottle

[@castielmaverickwentworth82074]

Other videos say to boil cap off

[@doacarnage]

Thats not a wrench, pliers are what you're using.

[@DIYLifeTech]

That's true!

[@stephenrosenthal5252]

That's not pliers.... That's a Leatherman. Or a knock off brand of Leatherman.
When he called it a multi-tool that was correct

[@trishab.9913]

😂🤣😂

[@bettyperez4783]

Easier way is to soak in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. It will screw right off. Ty it.

[@Maryann-wc9vo]

Thanks great idea.

[@Brookerulezz]

I did this worked fine for like three uses now my Swiffer doesn't work at all 😭💔

[@thewahakid1944]

Did you check the batteries?

[@Heartfelt-zv7wh]

Batteries 🔋 replace your batteries !!

[@marvinbarrera1244]

Thanks

[@sebrinairwin2301]

Do you have to shake it up everytime u go to use it again

[@marianelareyesakanj_latina8040]

Awesome!!!!

[@dariachatkhan6788]

Thank you very much for video!!! I just get it !

[@kendalyncossart8025]

This would work if I could get the cap off

[@beverlyowens9951]

I l[ver my wood swiffer

[@cyndimerrifield6630]

WHY pour out perfectly good cleaner? Step 1 waste the money you just spent. Step 2 grab a "wrench"
****CRINGE****

[@javierlugo7152]

There's easier ways to open the cap
