We live in a condo and I only have 6 windows that need cleaning; will the pads continue to work if they are used, then dry and sit for a month?

Yes, I have occasionally had time to wash only 5 or 6 windows, and then used the pad again later, and it worked fine.

I believe if you let it dry and then put it in a ziplock bag, it should be fine.

Yes, They sat for longer than that for me. I also used them to clean the glass tops on the patio tables. I just hang the stick and pad up in the garage when I'm done and wait for the next time. I think they washed about 20 6ft.X 5ft. windows for me. Good luck. They leave less streaking than any other window cleaner I've used.

Where can you find the refill pads at retail? I have looked in Shopright, HomeDepot, Lowes, PriceChopper and can't find them. I have found the kit in a few places, but not the refills. I finally decided to go to Amazon. If you are going to sell a product that requires refills, they should be readily available. M. Lynch

I have saved the little plastic that comes with the pads and have reused them several times. You can tell when the sticky no longer sticks or is dirty and then replaced them. they have worked for awhile and are great. I ordered new Off of Amazon.

hi! i don't think so, the cleaning pads are just older.then they came out with the flat pads, but you can look online to see the difference.as long as you have washable microfiber pads you are fine.. i use them on the wooden floors..i have two of them,one wet with cleaner & one dry, to dry the floor..thanks!

Yes, I have had mine installed for over 6 months with no issues rolling my windows up and down. I did use Windex to install and gave it a day 'dry' just in case.

I never cleaned or replaced them and used it for about four months fairly hard. I did not need it any more and sold it to a friend who uses it and still works great with origanl pads. It is a great product and would suggest it.

I would go with the microfiber towels on the windows! Never used the pads on any glass!

Hello!These pads just come by themselves, already sticky. They usually last for around a few months with me. If they start not sticking, all you have to do is rinse the pad underneath cold water, and let them air dry. They will be really sticky again.They will wear out eventually, but this method works for a long time. =)

You don't have to clean the pads after every use. What works for me in terms of prolonging the life of the pads is to use a baby wipe and wet it with isopropyl alcohol and use it to clean the pads. You'll want to make sure that you have sufficient alcohol on the wipe to prevent any sticking. Once you have cleaned the pads just let the alcohol evaporate from the pad.

Proper cleaning and storage mainly. Keeping them free of buildup that can erode the pads. I clean the. Pads of mine once a week and then lubricate the pads with a tiny amount of baby oil. Also store them in a place they won't catch on anything that could pull or rip the pads.

The pad is fabric like a faux suede. It would have to be cleaned like any othe fabric.

I believe it helps the pads last longer, but sadly will not replace getting new pads. that...I believe will still have to be done.. But it does work!! I believe it will only give you a couple extra weeks, but that to me is still a savings.

I have had my Bissell well over a year and never bought new pads...I wash them after each or every other use depending on how dirty they are...

Each package has two pads in it, and one pad will be sufficient to do every window outside, one time. So, essentially, one package is good for two outside window cleaning projects.

I live on a very dusty ranch. If it rains on my windows and then gets windy, my windows are dusty. I have ordered 3 extra packages of pads and I ordered a big bottle of cleaner. U will also need an extension. I have 15 huge windows just in the front of my house and I sometimes have to change the pads on every window. Sometimes I can get two windows per pad. But I do spray the pads for every window. That being said, I still would not give up my winbot. I have tried every thing in the world to clean my front windows, and have failed until Winbot came along. I love it and when it dies I will buy another. Worth every penny.

I have not used the pads long enough to know. I rinse them out after each use and let them dry. I switch off from one to another.

Yes, you can reuse the pads. You can use them several times before the sticky part wears off. Then you'll need to replace them. They last quite a while. I think it's definitely worth the purchase because they're so cheap and you get several in the package. I'm told you can make the stickiness last longer if you use wipes to clean them off after each wear, but I haven't done that.

the water and the filter do a good job of catching the dust and lint if they are kept clean so things do not over heat. As to the humidity , it has to go somewhere whether it is a vent less dryer you now have or a vented dryer. In our case we are in Hawaii and can open a window or two to let the humidity out of our condo unit.
