3 PCS IRobot Braava Jet 240 241 Mop Pads, Reusable Blue Wet Sweeping Pads

Edited in July 2020: After almost a year of constant use these pads have held up well. After a single use I rinse them off in hot water to remove surface dirt, spray them with Shout, machine wash in hot water and then air dry flat. That method leaves no residual dirt discoloring the pad and keeps the color blue so the robot can detect the color and use the right cleaning program. I have also discovered a method to keep the pad from making those funny noises during operation: turn the robot upside down, slide the plastic base into the slot and then attach the pad onto the velcro as close to the front end of the robot as possible.My only quibble after a year is the velcro pulls up at the corners because it's glued (not sewn) onto the plastic base. However this does not bother me enough to downgrade my review, I just hold the velcro corner down with a thumb when I peel off the pad. Also, true confession, I still use the OEM disposable pads from time to time especially in winter when more dirt gets tracked into the house, but 9 times out of 10 these are the pads I use.Original review: These washable pads are great if you want to avoid the single use disposable pads. This aftermarket version is not an iRobot OEM product however they work well, especially if used with iRobot cleaning solution concentrate because the disposable pads have detergent added to the pad. The Braava detects the cleaning method by the color of the pad, hence these being the same colorway as the OEM pads. Amazon has several aftermarket version to choose from, these are a more expensive choice but honestly with this type of thing you get what you pay for. Remove the same way as the disposable pads. It also helps to wet the pad a bit before attaching it. As for streaky floors: I think too much solution causes that, I use on 1 capful instead of 2 as directed.

I bought a couple of other brands that did not allow one to detach the mopping pad from the plastic strip and find these are far easier to wash. Just don’t wash with things to which Velcro tm adheres.One rater stated that the plastic strip needs to be marked with a Sharpee to keep make sure they are matched correctly after washing. I recently received mine, and each pad has an 3 drop embossed code on the bottom. However it’s easily overlooked and may be difficult for individuals who have problems seeing fine print. My solution to the difficulty in seeing the code was to attach round garage sale price tags to the plastic part on the iRobot side, not the pad side. I used white, orange and navy but I’m sure that any sticky little label would suffice. Just put a W, O or B on the label.

Although all the pads have different colors, they are basically made with the same material. I use all of them for wet mopping with triple pass. The mode is controlled by a plastic inserted into the machine, which have a different cut out pattern. The pad is attached to the plastic and can be easily removed for cleaning. I think they are descent for the price I paid.

I was a little unsure on whether these would work based on other reviews. I decided to go ahead and purchase a set to avoid waste of the disposable pads; I'm glad I did. I have had no issues with the thickness of the pads. The plastic card is removable which makes washing them easy. I didn't want to chance putting anything but water in my brava jet, so I just put a little bit of cleaning solution on the floor in areas that need more than just water.

They’ve be working very well. The price is very good for what you get and I love the idea of not having to buy new ones all the time. I like how you can just peel the back off and wash them in the washing machine.I’ve used them several times and the seem to be holding up well.

I am obsessed with my Robot. I have a large home with equal parts, wood , tile and carpet. These pads work well. I find myself dusting up floors before a quick clean, orange pad or a deep clean, blue pad, and have the machine working right behind me. I'm thinking of getting another Robot to just dust floors, white pad. The Robot reads the cut out squares on the plastic square that holds it to machine which tells it which operation it is to do.

First I put the pad on the machine and noted that the pad was off centered. I thought, hmm, poor sewing job. Then I had it run through a cycle. VERY disappointing. The floor is all streaky! The material it is made of is not the same as the original ones from the manufacturer. So now I have 3 pads that created streaky floors. Oh the one good thing is that I looked at the plastic side of the pads more closely and it is applied with velcro, not sewn, so I could reposition it to be more centered.

I was under the impression that the pads are created specifically for their use, but after closer closer inspection, all the pads are the same, just with different colors. Aside from that my first few uses has shown that these are effective for wet mopping. I would suggest writing with a sharpie which backing is for which mode, and then use the pads interchangeably regardless of color. Overall still a great value. I guess I can't really speak to the dry and damp performance yet. I don't think the pad would capture as dust as a swiffer dry pad in the dry sweep mode.
