Why won’t my mop pad stick to the mop head?Updated 11 days ago

TL;DR: If your mop pad isn’t sticking, especially when it’s new, press it firmly onto the mop head and slide it back and forth to help the Velcro hooks properly engage.

Quick Fix

1. Make sure both the mop head and pad backing are clean and completely dry.
2. Press the pad firmly onto the mop head.
3. Slide it back and forth (or slightly up and down) while applying pressure.

This motion helps the Velcro hooks grip into the pad fibres and “lock” into place.

If It Still Isn’t Sticking

• Check for lint, dust, or debris trapped in the Velcro hooks.
• Shake or lightly brush the pad backing.
• If recently washed, ensure the pad is fully dry before reattaching.
• It older, it may have reached its usability life.

New pads can sometimes need a little extra pressure the first time to properly engage the hook-and-loop surface.
