A MOMMY blogger and savings expert has shared a floor cleaning hack that could save parents a lot of hard-earned cash.

One frustrated stay-at-home-mom took to Instagram to share her cleaning hack after realizing that she couldn't unscrew the cartridge to refill her Swiffer Wet Jet.


Heather Rhodes didn't want to waste money on buying the Swiffer refills, so she discovered a nifty hack.

To loosen the cap on the Swiffer cartridge, Heather says you should microwave a cup of water for two minutes.

Then, soak the cap in the cup of hot water for one minute.

The cap should twist off easily after this. Now, you can fill your Swiffer cartridge with your favorite cleaning product.
