The mop head is just pushed into the plastic cap it sets in - You grab the "tentacles" of the mop, holding the edge of the plastic "cap" tightly with the fingertips of your other hand and pull with all your might!

You need to place your foot on one side and apply pressure for it to pop off the holder.

I watched a video on U Tube to see how to do this and it did not come off the way they described it would. When I finally pulled off the mophead, it came apart in pieces.

I turn the mop head over, place a screw driver between the head and the mop strands and gently press down. Works very easy. My wife broke a handle by standing on the strands and pulling up.

Alan, what I did was tip the washing, then have someone place the two pads down. Slowly lower until washing machine rests on pads. I hope this helps!

Yes, but you will have to get the stray, wet strings out of your washer. My mop head sheds like a dog...maybe just was not put together very well.

One reviewer I read was told by the company to put plain water in the mop w/o the reservoir being attached and spray a few times. This worked. Hope that helps.

It is super easy to replace the mop head! I take it off and wash it every time I use the mop (I've had it for about 4 years), and it's the same process with a new mop head. Here's a description of the process: There is a plastic (but not flimsy) clip at the end of the pole holding the mop head to the pole; I pull out the clip and then slide the mop head off the pole. To wash it, I also remove the plastic shaft that comes inserted through the center of the mop head. It just goes down into the middle of the mop and then I pull it out between the strings. Then I can wash the mop head and put it all back together easily, the same way. You have to make sure to pull the shaft all the way to the top of the mop head, though, usually by pushing the mop down while pulling the shaft until the mop head is secure. As a note, the shaft is a little flimsy--plenty sturdy for me, but my husband cracked one of the little pieces on the shaft when he was using it. I'm not sure how, but I haven't had any problems.

This is one question but not sure which answer you want. The microfiber comes off of the mop head easily as it has Velcro on one half of the pad, or you wash the microfiber pad in the washing machine and then put it in the dryer. I hope this answers your question. I love my mop.

Not to worry...lay blade on a flat surface and place washer ring over the center hole of the blade...then use firm finger pressure to press the washer into the hole of the blade. Jiggle it a bit if you have to, but it usually just presses right into the hole and stays there while you fit the blade onto the grinder. Secure the blade by tightening the arbor nut that comes with the grinder and you're in business. Put the washer in a safe place afterwards or tape it to the blade so it doesn't get misplaced. Pretty straightforward. No secret tricks. Good luck!

I found it very tight at first, too. Was afraid I'd break it. But held the mop firmly below the pull handle (about halfway between the pull handle and the head of the mop) and just pulled. It worked.

Just put the washer in the top lid. Just push it with your finger and it will stay in place once you close the lid.

Is it still new? I would return it, if so. Otherwise, I would suggest maybe some WD-40 around the mechanism. I have mine in my hands right now and it should not be difficult to pull towards you. Do you have a brother, husband or neighbor who maybe can put some muscle into it? BTW, I LOVE this mop. You may have a defective one.

It has to be a mop with a screw on at the bottom to accommodate the mop head. I hope that helps.

You can try but making the mop head stay flat with out the gravitational force may make it harder than if you just scrub. I know shark has a mop that has attachments that you could use but this particular version doesn't have them.

Bonnie: This is the instruction that came with my unit. Never took mine off until you asked. It worked.1. Step on the white microfiber where your foot faces the screw. Push the handle away until the disc base snaps off. Be sure not to step on the blue disc to prevent damage during removal.P.S. The mop is in an upright position when you are doing this. The screw they are referring to is located at the base of the handle just above the blue disk. Just step on the white strands and at the same time push the handle away from you until it snaps off. Hope this helped. Helene Bonnie: This is the instruction that came with my unit. Never took mine off until you asked. It worked.1. Step on the white microfiber where your foot faces the screw.

Yes the mop head is very easy to change out; just follow the directions by pulling the handle opposite way. The brush attachment however is very difficult to remove and I've searched online to see if anyone has figured it out...no luck yet.

Mine has a drawer that pulls out and I just rinse it out with warm water. Then insert it back in machine. I don't see any other way to clean it.

1 Unplug the washer's power cable from the wall outlet, or turn off the breaker supplying power to the appliance. 2 Open the washer door and then remove the wire-clamp and spring from the boot seal, which is the seal on the wash-tub opening. To remove the wire-clamp and spring, use needle-pliers 3 Move the seal away from the door jamb on the right-side of the tub opening. 4 Place one hand behind the door latch to hold it. Remove the mounting screws securing the latch to the inside of the door jamb. 5 Pull the door latch out of the door jamb and through the tub opening. 6 Disconnect the wire connectors from the rear of the latch. Discard the old latch. 7 Connect the wire connectors to the new latch. 8 Insert the latch into the door jamb, holding it into position from behind. 9 Secure the latch into position using the mounting screws that were removed. 10 Reinstall the wire-clamp and spring around the boot seal. 11 Close the washer door and then restore power to complete the repair.
