They arent meant to absorb the moisture like the woven turf pads. I too have experienced the edges coming apart.
But everyone is talking about how absorbent they are! So what is the answer? And what are they good for if they don’t absorb as much as the other pads?
Our pads are primarily designed to loosen soil and clean rather then absorb moisture. Your woven turf are the most absorbent pads. The micro fiber pads lose their effectiveness the wetter they get and are best when used dry. I have found the micro fiber pads work best on low pile and commercial grade carpet. You will not see dirt on the pad but you should be able to see the pads clean with each pass you make.
i think some of the pad information is a bit off.
All our pads have slightly different qualities but they all do a mix of agitation and extraction including the micro fiber pads which are extremely absorbant . micro fiber is made from polyester and can absorb up to 8 times its weight in water. because they are so absorbent they saturate quickly so when using them you need to keep that in mind. This is also true of the woven turf pads.
For the best cleaning results a mixture of pads will work the best. always keep your pads from drying out when dirty by storing them in a bag or sealed bin. Wash as soon as possible. All the pads will work best if slightly damp.
all the pads will work best if slightly damp ??? Really ? I’ll try it, looks like we learn something new every day 🙂 .

Icleaned a restaraunt the othe rnight. I only have 6 microfiber pads but I wish i had 20. you can definately see the differance!! And yes they are more absorbant. when you pull them out of the washer they are still very wet. When you pull the standard green pad out they are nearly dry. Definately retain the moisture.
I’ve been using the micro fiber pads for nearly a couple of years now. I do really like them, but they do seem to get tears in them after a while. I still think I got a ton of use out of them prior to noticing the tears/rips. I pretty much always use towels regardless of which pad I use. Haven’t noticed towels being dirtier from one pad to another. Much easier washing the micro fiber pads, very little picking needed.
