to swiff or not to swiff?

I was on the prowl to save a buck when I encountered a website that offered suggestions for homemade swiffers.  (Does any one still swiff with me?)  So, I tried several of their suggestions.  I used a paper towel.  I used an old rag.  I even tried the suggested pantyhose.  What I have found that has worked the best is the cloth diaper recommendation. However, it's still not as good as a swiffer sheet.  Are their any other ideas out there?
