You can use paper cups with saran wrap on top and then you simply put a hole in the center and put your popsicle stick down there and you can make them that way then you just dip them in hot water for five seconds when you get them out of the freezer and that will loosen everything around it and they slide right out
Everything these days seems to just be throw away - vacuums especially. I have a Dyson stick and even that I don't care for much. I too have to vac everyday. I have a big rough collie (Lassie dog) and he sheds like crazy. I also have 2 other dogs that don't shed nearly as much, but no matter, I have to def. vac every day. It drives me nuts.
