8 Best Shark Replacement Parts for Steam Mop 2025

Punchy and purpose-built, the AIR U+ pads bring integrated scrubbing to Shark’s spinning steam lineup with ultra-fine microfiber and a soft-scrub blend that grips grime without scuffing finishes. The pack includes 8 circular pads that click onto S8201/S8001/S7001/S7201/S7000-series heads, so you can rotate through heavy mess days without running out midweek. A mesh inner lining improves steam flow for faster sanitizing, solving the common pain point of streaking and slow drying.

In testing on sealed hardwood, tile, and marble, the pads’ Velcro + circular fastener backing held firm even during high-speed spin modes—no slippage, no edge curl. Each pad is rated for about 20 wash cycles, and the microfiber dried quickly after a gentle-cycle wash. They excel on sticky kitchen spills and grout film; the only limitation is avoiding high-heat drying to preserve the welds and pile.

Compared with the 8-pack value spinner pads (Brand B0F2HCJP4B), AIR U+ feels slightly more premium with more consistent stitching and better steam dispersion from the mesh layer. If you’re choosing between capacity and cost, AIR U+ offers durability and stability, while the value pack leans affordability. Ideal for S7000/S8201 owners who want reliable, streak-free results across mixed floors; it offers a more refined build than the budget spinner alternative without sacrificing performance.

Compact but mighty, the BIHARNT pads are budget-friendly replacements for Shark S1000/S1200 and S2001 SteamSpot users who want strong absorption and scrub strips for stuck-on messes. The 6-pack means you can line up fresh pads for weekly cycles, making this a smart pick for small homes or apartments. The dirt-grip microfiber is soft on finishes yet aggressive on residues—ideal if you’re chasing everyday scuffs and pet prints.

On hardwood, vinyl, and marble, water pickup was fast and streaks were minimal thanks to the quick-drying pile. The pads attach easily without tools and hold through routine push-pull passes; they’re best for standard steam output mops rather than heavy, high-pressure units. They’re washable and keep shape well, though you’ll notice fibers soften after repeated hot cycles.

Versus the Flammi pads (B08R5BJXVP), BIHARNT keeps things simple: fewer layers, lighter feel, and sharper scrub strips for sticky messes. Flammi’s triple-layer mesh breathes steam a bit better for larger rooms, but BIHARNT wins for affordability and straightforward maintenance. For S1000/S2001 owners prioritizing cost and easy swapping, BIHARNT nails the essentials and undercuts more feature-heavy options.

Flammi leans into performance-first design with a triple-layer sandwich mesh that releases steam evenly and reduces streaking on larger floor plans. Sized at about 12.8 x 7 inches, these Velcro-backed rectangle pads fit a wide range of Shark Light & Easy and Steam & Spray models from SK140 through SK460 and S1000/S3101 series. The microfiber pile is dense, giving excellent floor contact while staying gentle on sealed surfaces.

In real-world use, the pads excel at long kitchen and hallway runs where steam distribution and quick dry-time matter. The mesh liner prevents oversaturation, so you avoid pooling on laminate and keep a smoother glide on tile. They’re wash-friendly and keep their shape, though heavy oil-based stains may require pre-treatment to avoid lingering discoloration.

Compared to BIHARNT’s S1000 pads (B0817T7HTG), Flammi offers better steam breathability and edge-to-edge coverage, making it the choice for larger homes or extended sessions. BIHARNT’s scrub strips bite harder on sticky spots, but Flammi delivers the more balanced, whole-room clean. If you want a sturdier, steam-efficient pad for S1000/S3101 compatible heads, Flammi’s multi-layer build justifies the slight step up in refinement.

Purpose-built for corner work, ECOMAID’s triangle pocket pads bring steam-activated microfibers to Shark S3500-series triangular heads. The inner mesh lining promotes consistent steam flow, while the elastic opening and Velcro fastener keep a snug fit during edge tracing. If your cleaning routine involves baseboards, stair landings, and tight bathroom nooks, these pads are a time-saver.

On sealed tile and hardwood, the pad glides easily and lifts grout haze without scratching. Machine-washable and line- or tumble-dry capable, they’re practical for rotating sets; the 12.8 x 8.27-inch size aligns well with OEM dimensions. The triangle design is excellent for precision, though it won’t cover ground as fast as rectangle heads on open spaces.

Compared with Shark’s OEM triangle head upgrade (B00TMV5SOQ), ECOMAID focuses on pad quality and fit rather than changing the head itself—great if you already own the triangle frame. If you need maximum reach and two-sided flipping, the OEM head is the more versatile hardware swap. For users prioritizing replacement pad value and reliable steam dispersion, ECOMAID is the smart consumable pick.

For Shark Steam Pickup users, JORAIR’s kit delivers three brush rolls plus a cleaning tool to keep the SD200/SD201/SD205 line operating at peak. The high-density microfiber + nylon mix balances dust pickup with agitation, helping lift hair and crumbs while protecting sealed floors and area rugs. It directly tackles the pain point of clogged, worn rollers that reduce pickup and leave residues.

In testing on hardwood and low-pile rugs, the rollers grabbed pet hair reliably and rinsed clean under tap water; dry time is fast thanks to the fine fiber construction. Installation is straightforward, and JORAIR recommends swapping every ~3 months for consistent results—reasonable for homes with pets. They’re reusable, but performance dips when fibers mat, so a regular rotation helps.

Compared with pad-only solutions like BIHARNT or Flammi, JORAIR addresses mechanical pickup rather than purely steam wiping—ideal for the Steam Pickup 3‑in‑1’s hybrid role. If your model is pad-based (S1000/S3501 families), stick to microfiber pads; SD201 owners will see the biggest gain here. For SD-series users, this kit offers sustained performance and cheaper maintenance than OEM rollers over time.

A value-forward option for Shark’s spinning steam mops, this 8-pack features ultra-soft microfiber with a welded plastic locking ring that snaps securely to S8001/S7001/S7201/S7000AMZ/S8201 heads. The deep-cleaning texture grips grime and prevents re-deposit, while the one-click release makes pad swaps quick and hands-free. If slippage or mid-clean detachments have been your pain point, the secure locking design is the fix.

On sealed wood and tile, the pads maintained firm contact during high-speed scrubbing with minimal edge fray over multiple washes. The fabric holds moisture well for sanitizing but doesn’t bog down, keeping glide smooth across laminate. They’re washable and cost-effective, though the pile is a touch thinner than premium alternatives, so expect gradual softening.

Against AIR U+ (B09NM5T11N), this set wins on value and quick-swap convenience, while AIR U+ offers slightly better steam dispersion and build finish. For households needing a large pad inventory for frequent cleans, this is the best value among spinning pads. If you prioritize refined materials and longevity, the AIR U+ pads maintain a marginal edge in durability.
