Soft to the touch yet strong on messes, the mop pad is a well designed compliment to the Shark VACMOP and VACMOP Pro. The pad attaches to the VACMOP securely and doesn't roll up or come loose while in use, yet releases easily with a press of the button when it's time to change it. Each mop pad has a built in receptacle that traps quite a bit of dirt and debris sucked up by the VACMOP which means no dirt cup to empty- a truly handsfree, no mess disposal. I'll admit I was a tad heavy handed with the solution button my first test run, and I was very pleased with the absorbancy and durability, leaving no wet spots or dirty streaks behind. My floors look and feel clean and happy :)
