How much water does 1 mop pad absorb? While mopping, do I have to stop, remove the pad and wring it out? Wondering how much floor 1 pad covers

I have never had to wring out the mop pad. Our home has laminate floors as well as tile. I use a pad on the bathrooms then change to do the kitchen, dining, and living room. Compare it to a Swiffer but without the chemicals in the spray (I use a tablespoon of vinegar in almost a quart of water) and the pads are washable and reusable (as opposed to disposable and having to buy more every five or six moppings).

It leaves the floors drier than standard mopping but they do no dry instantly. I would say that it takes less than 5 minutes for the area to dry once you're done with it. It seems like there is less standing water too than regular mopping, that coupled with the heat helps it to dry quickly.

Yes, I measured it. This is a great mop. Better wet than dry. Only use water most of the time.

the mop has a release that folds the mop head. You then slip the ends of the pad onto the ends of the mop. You then secure the mop head back

There is a dust mop head and a damp mop head. the one labeled "deep clean mop" has instructions for water and the dust mop does not. My mop came with the deep clean mop and I ordered the dust mop pad separately - so far I'm very happy with both. I will try to post a photo of the packages in my review- no promises.

I've had this steam mop for several years. Then answer is, it depends on how you use it. If you try to use it before letting it ehat up all the way, it will be wetter and may leave puddles. My recommendation is, turn on the steam mop with a full reservoir of water 3 to 4 minutes before you are planning on using it. You will see the steam emitting. Then use as normal... the floors will definitely be drier much quicker than a mop with no puddles! I sue this every day and with a 3 and 4 year old in the house, we def need dry floors befroe the kids come in and slip!

First I can tell you that I did a test with these pads using 1 cup of water which equals 229.92 grams per 1 cup. The pads could NOT hold that much water. The entire pad was soaked and when I picked it up, the water that did not absorb (roughly 1/3 or more of the cup) leaked out of the pad when lifted. I hope that gives you some idea... My product was a package of 150 in the 23" x 36" size. The box reads as follows : Protection Plus Disposable Underpads / Economy Weight

Or try Bona, my favorite. Bona's microfiber cleaning pads may also fit the mop and they last forever. Have washed mine about 50 times/yr over the over the last 5 years (= about 250 times), still work like new. I left Swiffer in the dust a looong time ago. Way too expensive in the long run.

I measured the mop with the pad on it and the length is 16.5 inches in length and 5.25 inches in width. Seems like your mop and this pad wouldn't match. It may be easier to just get a new mop. I like mine a lot.

I ordered the mop and their was an option 2-pack of 18" Inch Microfiber Wet Mop Pads for Commercial Microfiber Mops and it is the same pad as what is on mop hope this helps!

Don't squeeze the lever all the time. Use fan after you mop and when done, sit it in the plastic holding area. If you see that the floor is really wet, you can stop to trigger the handle and just mop the floor. Hope this helps.

Spray it on the floor a bit at a time and mop with a microfiber pad. I spray a section of 6 tiles, mop them, and move to the next section.

I have used only RO water in my mop. The scented water that came with it smelled awful, in my opinion. However, I do put a few drops of essential oil on the inside of the mop pad. The steam diffuses the smell nicely, and it hasn't left any oily streaks or spots on my floor. I use mostly lavender because I like that smell but I've also used grapefruit, mint, whatever oil I have on hand.

Hi yourself! I don't know why you are asking this question. First of all, this if the dimensions of the bucket---11" tall, 10" wide in the water side--15 1/2" long. Of this, there is a water mark that is 7" high. When I use it, I like to empty the water if it gets too dirty. That keeps both the mop and water you use on the floor cleaner. I also use hot water and that gives a steamy effect which dries even quicker. Let me know if this helps!! me

In my experience, you can spin the mop almost too dry. I have actually had to dip it back into the water because it dried out too much. You cannot go wrong with this mop. It is the best thing I have ever used for mopping floors. The only thing I am not totally in love with is the length of the handle. Even that is fixed now as an extension is available that makes it an ideal height for me at 5'5". There are also replacement mop heads available. I was able to mop my entire house in a very short time due to the convenience of this mop and how dry it left the floors. I'd give it 10 stars anyday!!!

YES same thing with me. I thought the steam mop would work good,but left my floors looking like there is a film all over. I've tried to use vintage water and tea water,and floor wax, it still has it,so I think the steam mop ruined my floor. My husband is very upset to.He spent many hours refinishing that floor.I'm still looking for a solution and if I find one I will repost.

I only have the H2o so I don't know, sorry. You might try measuring your mop and checking the specifications of the pads.
