Mops with pads are really cool but having a pad you use once and throw away isn’t great for the environment. I specifically bought a mop that had washable covers, but if you have one of the ones with disposable pads you can knit your own so you can use them again and again.
Make Your Own Zone has a super simple pattern for making your own knit Swiffer pads, which are just a rectangle knit in fluffy yarn and sewn up to fit the mop base.
This one maybe wouldn’t make a great gift, but it is a good thing to knit for yourself in advance of those “be a better housekeeper” resolutions you’re going to make in about a month.
