How to use: Mop PadsUpdated 3 days ago
TL;DR: Three mop pads, three jobs. Deep Clean Mop Pads are the green ones: they give the deeper scrub but create more friction, so they can drag on some floors. Everyday Mop Pads are the blue ones, gentler and easier to push, and are what to switch to if Deep Clean drags. The Dusting Mop Pad is dry use only, for hair and loose dust before you wet mop.
How to use: Mop Pads
✓ Deep Clean Mop Pads
The green pads. Microfibre built for the deepest clean. It grips and lifts dirt, which means more friction, so on some floors it can feel like it drags. Start here for a thorough wet mop.
✓ Everyday Mop Pads
The blue pads. Gentler than Deep Clean, with easier movement. The pad to switch to if the green Deep Clean pads drag or feel hard to push on your floor, and a good default for polished and gloss finishes.
✓ Dusting Mop Pad
Used dry, with no spray and no cleaner, to pick up hair, pet fur and loose dust before you wet mop. Remove it over a bin so the dust does not drop back onto the floor.
What is the difference between Deep Clean and Everyday Mop Pads?
✓ Deep Clean (green)
Deeper scrub, more friction. Best for stuck-on grime, post-spill clean-up and weekly deep cleans on sealed timber, laminate, vinyl and glazed tile.
✓ Everyday (blue)
Gentler, easier movement. The safer default across most floors and the one to reach for on polished timber, polished concrete, stone and high-gloss finishes.
✓ Pick by feel, not by a rulebook
There are no hard floor-type rules here. Start with the green Deep Clean pads for a thorough clean, and if it drags or feels hard to push, switch to the blue Everyday pads. If you are unsure what finish your floor has, stay with Everyday.
⚠ Deep Clean is a step up, not the default
Keep the green Deep Clean Mop Pads off mirror-polish finishes and non-stick floors, where repeated mild abrasion can dull the surface over time. If you are not sure which finish you have, use the blue Everyday Mop Pads.
When do I use the Dusting Mop Pad?
✓ A dry pre-mop step
Glides dry across the floor to pick up hair, pet fur and loose dust before the wet clean starts. No spray, no cleaner. Remove it over a bin so the dust does not drop straight back down, then give it a shake outside or over the bin.
⚠ Do not use it wet
The Dusting Mop Pad is a dry tool. For wet mopping, swap to the green Deep Clean or blue Everyday Mop Pads with Universal Cleaner in the bottle. Full instructions are in How do I use the Dusting Mop Pad?.
How do I get the best results from my mop pads?
✓ Four habits
Small changes in routine make more difference than which pad you picked.
1 Dust first, mop second. Run the Dusting Mop Pad over the floor before swapping to a cleaning pad.
2 Rotate pads regularly. Swap per room, or whenever the pad is visibly soiled. A clean dry pad cleans far more effectively than a soiled wet one.
3 Take the pad off after use. Do not leave it sitting on the mop plate between cleans.
4 Hang the mop up. Store it with the plate off the ground. A pad left on a damp plate is a common source of marks on the next clean.
✓ Washing and care
Every Koh mop pad is machine washable and reusable, so swap to a clean one mid-clean and wash the soiled one afterwards. Wash at no more than 40 degrees and do not tumble dry. Temperatures, detergent and drying are all covered in How do you wash the Mop Pads?.
