What is the "scrubbing pad" that comes in the kit. We just need to buy this and the no sanding cleaner. Thanks

It's just a light pad, not sand paper, but like the back side of a kitchen sponge with scrubbie. It cleans and preps the floor.

It is so much better than a Swiffer and if you make your own cleaning solution, WAY cheaper in the long run. I have been using my pad (one that came with it and another I realized I needed while the other was waiting to be laundered) that I've used for 3 years (once a week user for whole house). They are both in great condition and will be useful for quite a while longer. The fact that it is taller than the Swiffer and doesn't require disposable products to use it will save a lot of $$$!

There is no special cleaning solution with this. You use whatever your equipment provider has recommended. Mine recommended a mild detergent followed by a vinegar and water rinse.

The kit comes with the 1000 unigrit sanding disc (foam finishing disc), 3000 unigrit sanding disc (foam finishing disc), a unigrit hand pad, drill-operated easy-buff pad, PlastX supreme shine MF towel and 4oz headlight and plastic restorer solution. I just used my own drill gun to help the polishing.

I have not yet used this applicatior, but I think the pad can be cleaned by washing it with soap and water.

Don't have a swifter, but this is the last cleaner you will buy. They have Velcro backing that connects to the "mop"... You clean then take it off & wash it in laundry. We had one at preschool that was well used & is worth buying the mop & cleaning pad kit. U won't be dissapointed

I'm sorry, I don't use that one. I use the one you hook to your hose. It doesn't have a pad cleaner. The windows come out great and it cleans the screens too.

You can either buy the Porter Cable sanding disks for this which I personally have never used, or, what I do use are after market 9" hook and loop pads as are 9" hook and loop sanding discs in many grits which are significantly lower in cost than the Porter Cable original equipment sanding discs with integral pad.

I use an SOS pad to clean mine. It does not damage the finish. I have cleans it several times.

I really don't know, but I will say this... it is ALL ABOUT THE PREP. Some of my cabinets needed sanding, some were fine with the product they provide in the box for use with the scrubbie pad. If I was going to try it on a veneer I would probably sand.

These pads where made for the original Shark steam mop. I bought the pads and gave the mop to a friend with all hardwood floors. I never liked that I had to wash them, anyway. I now have the new Shark steam mop that uses disposable pads, as well. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Go on the Shark website and call the consumer help line. I am sure you will find your answer there.

In addition to "condog's" answer below, there is also a "crevice tool" of sorts, a small 1.5" by 3" rectangular tool that vibrates exactly like the floor machine, and it has two pads. The rug package, the hard floor package and the crevice tool packages all have a "scrubber" pad, and a cloth cleaner pad, each. Seriously, we have three rescue dogs from 106 pounds down to 15 pounds, and the sonic duo cleans both new and old stains fabulously.

Not sure where to buy the foot pad but I am not using mine and I will sell you the whole package with all parts including the hose and 2 extra diaphrams for $65.00... all in like new condition! My pool is too small with sharp corners to use this type of cleaner. Ron E.

The polisher did not come with pads. Buy meguiars polishing, finishing and cutting pads. The polisher already comes with the Velcro backing pad.

My Bissell gets really hot and with the scrubber pad it got up everything, it does a great job. Then the soft pad keeps it clean for weeks after using the scrub pad, its been a real time saver for me I use to clean the floors on my knees and hand dry with a towel, the Bissell cleans better than I was able to do by hand.

You are NOT to use metal utensils, scouring pads or abrasive cleaners; per manufacturer's instructions. A soft sponge, scrub sponge made especially for non-stick cookware, mesh scrubber, or I use an old toothbrush to get to the corners and hard to get off residue. When I soak it for even a little while, it is much easier to get baked on residue off using these methods. I make sure it is completely dry before storing.

I use a non-stick safe scrub pad with baking soda to clean my enameled cast iron cookware. It works very well.
