Proving once again that they COULD make reusable pads for the vac mop but choose not to. Thanks for the hack. I’m doing this.

[@staceyhandville4705]

Handiwipes or fresh dryer sheets work better for covering the vacuum chamber. They hold in the debri while allowing air to flow and not over heat the vacuum. Also, the dryer sheets give out a nice scent while vacuuming. 🙂

[@lizlimaFM]

Great idea!

[@whimsofkim]

Do you change out a new one everytime? Does it just stick without having to use velcro?

[@staceyhandville4705]

@@whimsofkim I change them out after a few uses. When they seem to be getting dirty enough to block airflow. I haven't tried anything other than the velcro.

[@sistermandajones]

So you attach Velcro to each sheet?

[@KalidscpMind]

Thanks for the tip!

[@katieguthrie5079]

I actually did my own hack last night! I love that you made this video. FYI, if you look at the pad that you pulled off the plastic canister has a “Flap” that acts as a baffle for the canister so that your debris (especially dust and small pieces) do not fall out. I tried the Dryer sheet on top of it and it works amazing too. I did however keep the original “fabric” from the disposable one with the flap on it and just used Velcro to allow me to pull it up. I originally covered the pad that was included with plastic and duct tape to make sure that it was waterproof. I then added Velcro to it so that I could easily change the pad but, it keeps the “original pad size” and I can also ensure that I do not use a pad that is too thin that will allow the vac canister to rub on the floor. If you spray laundry starch inside the canister and on the fabric you use and let it dry… it will repel the dust and particles and allow for easier and faster dumping. Hope all these additional Hacks help someone else too! 😌

[@whimsofkim]

Wow! What a great idea! I'll try it. Thanks for all of the info!

[@lindaramirez5296]

can you share a picture? thank you

[@bru1015]

Very helpful Kim thank you for sharing. I’ve been looking at buying the vacmop for awhile now. Prices range from $50.00 online to $90.00 at Koles. I never expected to find one at Goodwill for $4.00, but It didn’t have the charger which I bought for $15.00 online. I hadn’t looked at the cost of Sharks Vacmop pads until after I bought everything. Not only was I surprised at how expensive they are, but I can’t stand the idea of all the plastic trash in our land fills, let alone single use plastic. Shame on money hungry companies for not caring about our beautiful planet Earth. 🤷‍♀️

[@brianjohnson9000]

Just bought this vac and immediately realized how expensive the pads are. You're saving me 20+ bucks a month if I'm being conservative! thank you so much, I'm on a limited budget but like things clean! You've really helped me out!

[@magalissantiago2817]

They are not kinda expensive, they are expensive and they went from 8.99 to 12.99 nope! Thank you you are a life saver!!

[@d-n-dvids8533]

Great hack, l made something similar. Dollar tree has thin pads( grayish color) that work great and picks up tons of dust and hair.

[@1722jonny]

Do you have pictures of the pads

[@hollowmoon7636]

You’re amazing for this❤ Got the vacmop as a gift and although I love it, I try to be as eco friendly as I can and hated all the single use waste!! Working on this hack ASAP!

[@GlitteryGhost]

You're my hero. These things are so damn expensive, tysm for making this

[@aaronalarcon7332]

Thank for giving this knowledge freely to us. I'm buying it now

[@dawndurbin9190]

Girl u deserve to be rich AF for this. I literally looked this up because I said no mam these pads r too much and I also loved the vacuum and agree that the issue is definitely the pads. Companies are so thirsty to make more money off us. And I sure will be using my fabulouso solution 🤣

[@gheebuttersnaps2011]

Really? They're $22.77 for 30 on Amazon. Shark says you can use the same pad for more than one use so let's say you use this everyday and you replace the pad every other day that's $11.50 a month. But you probably wouldn't use it everyday so if you use it every other day and replace the pad after every other use that's $5.75 a month.

[@sokay8076]

@@gheebuttersnaps2011 not in my house! 2 days? More like 2/day! I think this is a great hack. But hey, if you get that kind of use then very economical for you!

[@gheebuttersnaps2011]

@@sokay8076 You have to vacuum and mop your house twice a day? I didn't even do that when I worked at restaurants.

[@amberspiers5616]

@@gheebuttersnaps2011 bahahaha you must not have toddlers or babies crawling around! Trust I go through 2 a day easily as well! And if you're buying the pads from the store like Walmart or target they are $9.99 for 10 and $16.99 for 16. So yeah they are like $1 a piece. Which in my house would be roughly $60 a month and I bought the whole thing for $70 soooo yeah.

[@KalidscpMind]

Genius! Thanks for showing this! Such a cost saver.

[@annettesaberhagen5650]

Awesome thanks, just saw this on sale, first thing I did was look for a hack before buying

[@julijuls7271]

Very clever, thank you. I just bought this and was about to return because of the plastic waste. I'm going to try this.

[@vivianhudacek1556]

THANKS! You are a genius! I love my SharkVacMop, but just tried to empty the dirt chamber since I hadn’t mopped with it today. Nope. I thought I could use something to sneak in there but nope. Plan to use your hack!

[@susandouglas-k2e]

Thank you for sharing. Great idea

[@dawndurbin9190]

U need to be viral for this, seriously. I shared!

[@crysteldennis5474]

I love it I'm so excited to not have to buy those expensive pads thank you so much

[@stephaniep7566]

This is awesome! I am down to my last pad and didn't want to buy another box.

[@angelaroney6390]

I bought the vac and have not been able to find the pads any where. Amazon only shows the product no pricing for me. Walmart and Lowes show it is there if you google but it is not when you go there. Sooo for me this is a great contribution and I don't have to chuck something I paid good money! "Product is out of stock" won't be an issue anymore thanks!

[@CruelHaiku]

It would seem the cover over the vacuum compartment needs to filter and be able to pass suction. Any type of cloth might be problematic. You can carefully peel back the edges of the existing filter cover, the remaining adhesive will work to seal it up after emptying.

[@MyHam-os4bq]

Genius. Thank you

Thank you so much, this makes sense, I'm so glad I found this! 😊

Dollar tree sells swiffer style pads that are reusable. Idk if they’re big enough so ymmv.

[@AlohaSissi]

This is great

[@kathrynbullard6314]

The disposable ones fold up how does this one hold up?

[@WebsterFamily4]

This. My one complaint about this. It’s so annoying. I think you could place the Velcro to keep it from folding. Maybe add two on the vac mop bottom at the back to hold it in place? I’m sooo trying. Great hack idea

[@eilsna]

oh wow this is great!!

You can really use any floor cleaner. I personally love Fabuloso or Mr. Clean. Makes the entire house smell clean

[@neveen6302]

You can actually buy those pads on Amazon in bulk very inexpensive. But, very smart idea this is

[@bunny-xk2eg]

How do I find it on Amazon? 😊

[@gamingwithmikentim3539]

What kind of glue was used to attach the velcro?

[@ayila4903]

Great!

[@magalissantiago2817]

Now they are up to 14.99

[@sr8shoota]

Even if you wanna buy the pads you can't fi d them anywhere what's the point of selling rhis vac when you can't find the replacement.

[@madimohn5200]

How long has your vac mop lasted? I keep reading reviews that say the battery stops working almost right away.

[@d-n-dvids8533]

I have had mine for a year and still works great.

[@tanyabirch2444]

Over a year. No issues.
