Are the pads effective in cleaning upholstery?

Yes! I use my Wagner on nearly all my upholstery. I do not use it on antique fabrics.

Yes, but only on floors. This tool is not intended for upholstery. The suction is very strong with this tool. It's my favorite.

I only remove and wash when the pads look really dirty. I always vacuum good prior to cleaning the floors so my pads do not get that dirty often.

Never used on upholstery. Works great on carpets and car mats. Will get close to wall and corners

Don't believe they are intended to be used with cleaner. I use cloths and alcohol pads.(seperately)

I honestly have not tried it on upholstery. I always use club soda and a white rag for carpet and upholstery stains. And put a box fan on the stop to dry it.

The pads get less sticky over time and are easier to use. I use mine a long time so I even wet the area where I want to apply them. I have no problems with the machine.

these wipes work better at "speading around" than "absorbing". These would work well probably for a swiffer (if you can find a way to attach them) for buffing or waxing or picking up lint/dirt, but not for mopping as it wouldn't pick up much liquid.

Don't know why it wouldn't, if they're smooth. Rough surfaces would chew up the cleaning pads.

I did not use it for upholstering but it did do what I bought it for. I have been more than satisfied. As to whether it will work for you, don't know. It is fairly heavy-duty and the staples are expelled with some force. It should work but I can't be sure.

The only thing that comes to mind for me is using an upholstery cleaning attachment on a shampooing carpet cleaner to give it a wash. I use Bissel's Spotclean portable carpet cleaner to clean my upholstery but a full sized carpet cleaner would work too if it has a handheld tool attachment.

Is there some kind of chemical cleaning solution in these pads? Can you use your own solution?

The mister clean part is only a slightly more heavy duty part of the pad. I do not think it would create the same issue as the sponge which is meant to be highly but gently abrasive, this is not. Make sure you are using the liquid for wood floors though. IMO based upon my experience these should not be an issue, but I have tile and can not really say for sure what affect they will have.

Yeah, it cleans up really well off the pads and the skin. I recommend not moving the pads once in place and will extend the life of your pads. Hope that helps! :) -Kara

The pads are very well made and quite sturdy. I soak them in dishwashing detergent and oxyclean and scrub them before I throw them in the washing machine. They last a very long time..still using mine after a year and my kitchen is in my entrance and the wood floor is in the back of the house off the deck. Both get very dirty.

You don't have to clean the pads after every use. What works for me in terms of prolonging the life of the pads is to use a baby wipe and wet it with isopropyl alcohol and use it to clean the pads. You'll want to make sure that you have sufficient alcohol on the wipe to prevent any sticking. Once you have cleaned the pads just let the alcohol evaporate from the pad.

I installed them about 2 years ago on my dining room chairs and have not needed to replace the pads or do any maintenance since then. The pads are quite thick and don't seem to wear or compress very much.
