10 Best Shark Floor Steamer Pad Replacements to Buy in 2025

Punchy and purpose-built, these 10-pack pads unlock the full potential of the Shark Steam & Scrub series. The set mixes dirt grip and soft-scrub textures, using premium microfiber with a mesh venting layer to move steam efficiently. Compatibility is broad—covering Shark S8001, S8201, S7001, S7201, S7005, S7020, S7000AMZ, and more—so owners of the rotating-head models can swap in without fuss. If you’re tired of rinsing mid-session, this value bundle fixes that pain point.

In testing on sealed wood, tile, and marble, the microfiber lifts dust and pet hair while the scrub pads break down sticky kitchen messes and entryway grit. The mesh lining helps keep steam output even across the pad, and the friction profile is strong enough to loosen dried spills without scuffing. Each pad is washable and reusable, and the round Velcro connection stays put during spinning. They can feel saturated on big jobs, so rotating through multiple pads as you clean maintains performance.

Against the AIR U+ 8-pack, this set delivers more pad variety and a larger count for households that clean frequently. Compared with the 12-pack bulk set below, you trade a couple of pads for a curated mix of textures and an ‘overall’ balance of durability and ease. Ideal for Shark Steam & Scrub owners who want a ready stash for whole-home cycles, these hit the sweet spot of quantity and pad types—more versatile than AIR U+ while close in quality to the 12-pack option.

Surprisingly capable for a budget pick, these S1000-series pads use high-density microfiber with a textured scrub strip to boost bite on dried spots. At 12.4 x 6.7 inches, they fit the Shark S1000 family snugly and vent steam via an inner mesh layer. The 6-pack quantity means you can clean larger areas without pausing to launder.

On hardwood and vinyl, absorption is excellent—spills and thin films lift quickly, while the scrub strip gathers paper debris and pet hair without scratching. The pads release steam evenly for consistent sanitizing and dry fast between passes. They’re machine washable; just avoid harsh heat to preserve the hook-and-loop grip.

Compared with the ‘Best Absorbency S1000 Series’ 6-pack below, these trade a touch of plushness for better scrub-strip aggression—good for kitchens and high-traffic halls. They’re not as specialized as the Steam & Scrub round pads, but for classic S1000 owners wanting maximum value per pad, this set wins on practical performance and pack size.

Built for heavy cleaners, this 12-pack is the bulk champ for Shark Steam & Scrub models. The standout is the upgraded scrub pad with velvet plus bristle-like fibers that add friction without gouging finishes. Microfiber construction offers strong water absorption and rapid dry-down, while the mesh-like backing aids steam flow.

In practice, the bristle/velvet pad combo excels on dried sauces, entry grit, and bathroom film—especially on tile and laminate where texture helps. On sealed wood, switching to the softer pads minimizes drag and keeps the finish safe. Pads attach firmly to the rotating base and hold up through repeated washes; cycle through several during deep cleans to avoid saturation.

Versus the 10-pack ‘Best Overall,’ you gain two extra pads and more aggressive scrubbing for stubborn jobs, trading a bit of softness for power. Compared with AIR U+’s 8-pack, durability and total coverage favor this bulk set. Ideal for large homes, multi-room cleaning, or anyone who wants longer intervals between pad reorders—more quantity and scrubbing punch for frequent users.

Refined and floor-safe, the AIR U+ 8-pack focuses on ultra-fine microfiber with soft-scrub panels for balanced cleaning on the Shark Steam & Scrub line. The pads integrate a mesh inner layer to channel steam and use circular fasteners plus Velcro for a locked-in fit during rotation. Rated for up to 20 washes each, they’re tuned for longevity.

On sealed hardwood, the soft-scrub zones pull up sticky residue without leaving haze, while tile and marble benefit from even steam dispersal and quick drying. The backing holds strong when the head spins, reducing mid-clean shifts. They’re washable—use gentle cycles and avoid high-heat drying to maintain adhesion and pile integrity.

Compared to the 12-pack bulk option, AIR U+ offers fewer pads but a slightly softer floor touch—great if you prioritize finish protection. Versus the 10-pack ‘Best Overall,’ you get less variety in textures but strong build quality and secure attachment. Best for Steam & Scrub owners who value reliability and gentle-yet-effective scrubbing over maximum quantity.

Purpose-made for Shark Genius and Lift-Away Pro systems, this 6-pack uses dirt-grip microfiber with a sandwich mesh backing to speed steam release. The double-sided design works with both Genius and Intelli-Mop heads, and the approx. 14 x 13.5 in pad size maximizes surface coverage. For homes juggling tile, laminate, and wood, the mix of absorption and glide feels dialed in.

On baked-on kitchen spots, the fabric’s texture loosens grime while the mop’s steam breaks bonds, leaving fewer passes needed. They don’t scratch or smear, and they dry fast enough to avoid streaks on glossy floors. Machine washable and durable, the pads keep their shape and attach quickly for touch-free use.

Against the BIHARNT 2-pack, this set wins for households that need more pads per session and better continuity on large spaces. Compared to Steam & Scrub circular pads, these pocket-style rectangles aren’t for rotating heads but excel in edge reach and pad flipping. Ideal if you want a reliable, multi-head fit and strong, everyday cleaning power.

Compact and convenient, the BIHARNT 2-pack is a smart ‘bridge’ kit for Shark Genius and Lift-Away Pro owners who don’t need bulk. The double-sided dirt-grip microfiber adds usable life mid-clean—flip and keep going—while the fabric’s scrub strips boost bite on stuck-on messes. Tool-free install keeps changeovers fast.

In everyday use, water absorption is strong and drying is quick, avoiding haze on laminate and hardwood. The pads glide well on tile and stone without leaving scuffs, making them easy to maneuver for quick kitchen or bathroom resets. They’re washable and hold up to repeated cycles if you avoid high heat.

Versus the 6-pack P184WQ set, this 2-pack suits smaller homes or as a backup set to complement a larger rotation. Compared to Flammi’s S3500 pocket pads, these target the newer Genius/Lift-Away system with touch-free usability. Best if you want minimal spend and a tidy, effective pair of replacements.

A classic fit for Shark S3500-series Pocket Mops, this Flammi 4-pack uses thick nap microfiber on both sides to extend sessions. The hook-and-loop strip closure secures quickly, while the mesh lining promotes efficient steam release. Tested on sealed hardwood, tile, and marble, they balance absorption with gentle glide.

The double-sided design lets you flip mid-clean to a fresh surface, useful for high-traffic entries or pet zones. On dried splatters, the pile height grabs residue without scratching and traps hair effectively. Pads are washable and maintain shape; note the standard 12.6 x 7 in size—not for XL heads.

Compared with the heavy-duty Flammi scrub variant below, these prioritize finish-friendly cleaning over aggressive scouring. Against Genius/Lift-Away pads, you lose touch-free removal but gain compatibility with the wide S3500 legacy lineup. Ideal for owners seeking dependable replacements with a soft touch for daily upkeep.

When you need more bite from a Pocket Mop, this heavy-duty Flammi pad adds microfiber scrub nap to crush stubborn grime. It retains the standard 12.6 x 7 in fit and hook-and-loop closure for quick attachment on S3500-series heads. The fabric is tuned to scrub hard yet stay finish-safe on sealed floors.

On kitchen grease or dried beverage rings, the scrub fibers reduce passes while the mop’s steam loosens residue. Strong absorption minimizes streaking on marble and laminate, and the pad dries quickly between rooms. It’s machine washable; keep heat low to prolong the scrub texture.

Compared to the regular Flammi 4-pack, this option is the tough-stain specialist, trading some plush feel for scouring efficiency. Against Genius system pads, you lose touch-free pad release but gain targeted scrubbing without needing a separate accessory. Best for Pocket Mop owners who battle stuck-on messes and want a single pad that can handle it.

Tailored for Light & Easy and SK-series mops, these Flammi pads use a Velcro one-piece design for fast, secure attachment. The triple-layer mesh helps vent steam evenly, while microfiber offers strong absorption and quick drying. Sized about 12.8 x 7 inches, they fit S1000/S3101/SK family models that use Velcro—not pocket sleeves.

On sealed tile and vinyl, the pads glide smoothly while lifting pet hair and everyday grime. The microfiber is gentle on hardwood and leaves minimal haze, especially when swapping pads before they’re fully saturated. Washable and reusable, they hold up across cycles if you avoid high heat and fabric softeners.

Compared to the budget S1000-specific 6-packs, this set stands out for broader model coverage across SK and Light & Easy families. It doesn’t have a dedicated scrub strip, so for stubborn stains the other S1000 packs provide more bite. Great for multi-device households needing flexible, Velcro-style replacements.

Optimized for absorption, this S1000-series 6-pack uses high-quality microfiber with a sandwich mesh liner to move steam through the pad. The result is deeper cleaning with faster drying—handy on hardwood, laminate, and tile. The form-fit works cleanly on S1000, S1000A, S1000C, S1000WM, and S1001C.

In real use, the microfiber soaks up thin films and lifts sticky residues, while the integrated scrub strips help on dried drips without scratching. Even steam dispersal reduces edge streaking, and the pads hold their shape after washing. Toss them in the machine for easy maintenance and reuse.

Compared to the Budget Friendly 6-pack, this set leans into maximum absorbency and slightly plusher feel, making it better for larger rooms or spill-prone households. You don’t get the broader SK/Light & Easy compatibility of the Flammi Velcro pads, but you do get a stronger focus on stain pickup. Ideal for S1000 owners who want cushioned glide and strong liquid handling.
