How do you wash the Mop Pads?Updated a day ago
TL;DR: Machine wash the green Deep Clean and blue Everyday Mop Pads at a maximum of 40 degrees, and wash the Dusting Mop Pad cold. Use a mild detergent, never fabric softener, and skip the bleach. Air-dry in the shade and never tumble dry. Cared for this way, pads typically last around 200 machine washes.
How do you wash the Mop Pads?
✓ How to wash
Same principle across all three pads: mild detergent, no softener, no bleach.
1 Temperature. The green Deep Clean and blue Everyday Mop Pads at a maximum of 40°C. Wash the Dusting Mop Pad in cold water on a gentle cycle.
2 Detergent. A mild detergent such as Sensitive Laundry Liquid or Sensitive Laundry Sheets.
3 Colours. The pads come in different colours, so if you notice any colour transfer, wash them separately at first.
⚠ Avoid
Fabric softener coats the microfibre and reduces cleaning performance, so it is the one thing to keep well away from these pads. Skip bleach as well, and do not wash the green or blue wet pads above 40 degrees or the Dusting Mop Pad in anything but cold, since heat shortens pad life.
How should I dry the Mop Pads?
✓ Air-dry in the shade
Hang or lay flat in a shaded, airy spot until completely dry, then store them dry so they do not develop a musty smell in the cupboard.
⚠ Never tumble dry
The care instruction is air-dry only. Do not tumble dry any mop pad, never iron them, and avoid prolonged direct sun, which can fade the colour.
How long do the Mop Pads last?
✓ Reusable and long-lasting
Koh mop pads are premium microfibre and designed to be reused. Washed correctly and air-dried, they typically last around 200 machine washes before they need replacing.
⚠ Signs it is time to replace
Cleaning power drops noticeably even after a fresh wash. The microfibre feels flat or matted rather than plush. The edges fray or the backing lifts. A persistent odour survives a proper wash.
✓ Keeping a spare set helps
A clean dry pad cleans far better than a soiled wet one, so having a few spares on hand means you can swap per room instead of pushing a saturated pad around. Refill packs are available for all three pad types.
Fresh refill pack of the blue pads when performance drops. Five machine washable microfibre pads.
Gentle on microfibre and free of fabric softener, so the pads keep performing wash after wash.
