Why won’t Mop Pad adhere to Spray Mop Plate?Updated 2 days ago

TL;DR: If your Spray Mop pad isn't sticking, press it firmly onto the plate and slide it back and forth to engage the hook-and-loop. Both surfaces need to be clean and completely dry. New pads sometimes need extra pressure on the first attach. If the pad backing looks flat or matted, replace it.

How do I get the pad to stick?

✓ Three steps

Clean and dry both surfaces. The Spray Mop Plate and the pad backing must be free of lint, dust, and moisture before you attach.

Press firmly. Place the pad against the underside of the plate and apply even pressure across the whole surface. The same technique works for Everyday, Deep Clean, and Dusting Mop Pads.

Slide back and forth. While pressing, move the pad in short back-and-forth motions to help the hooks grip into the pad fibres and lock.

What if the pad still won't stick?

⚠ Check for debris

Lint, dust, or debris trapped in the hook-and-loop surface will prevent a proper grip. Shake or lightly brush the pad backing and Spray Mop Plate to clear it.

Clear lint and dust Brush the hooks

⚠ Damp pad won't grip

Recently washed pads need to be bone dry before reattaching. Damp fibres are heavier and don't lock into the hooks properly. Air-dry flat between uses.

⚠ Pad is worn out

If the hook-and-loop side looks flat, fluffed-out, or matted, the pad has reached the end of its usable life. Time for fresh ones.
