This is the pattern I use when knitting a swiffer cover. I use cotton yarns such as Peaches and Cream. The cotton is super absorbent, and soft.The more you use it the softer it becomes. The cover is durable and long-lasting--you will probably replace it just to get a new look before you are forced to replace it due to wear and tear! I also keep on hand a cover made up on acrylic yarn such as Red Heart. I use that cover when I have need to scrub up ground in or heavily built up debris ( such as the floor around the dog food bowl, we get a build up on the the floor under the bowl of "dog food dust"). It scrubs up quickly then I switch covers and just mop up the liquid. =)
