If you own a Sh-Mop and the cover has gone thin, grey or ragged at the edges, this is the refill that puts it back to work. It is a one-sided microfiber cover sized for a 15 inch x 8 inch flat mop head, and it slips on over the base the same way the original did. Owners of these mops tend to keep them for years and simply rotate covers, which is exactly what this part is for.
Built for everyday hard-floor upkeep
Microfiber works differently from a terry or sponge pad. The split fibers pull fine dust, hair and grit into the pile instead of pushing it into a line ahead of the mop, so a dry pass actually picks up rather than redistributes. Damp, the same fibers hold enough water to lift everyday soil without soaking the floor - which matters on wood and laminate, where standing water is the thing that causes damage.
Use cases
- Dry dust pass on wood and laminate - run the cover dry first to collect hair and grit before any moisture goes down.
- Damp maintenance mopping - lightly spray the floor or the cover and work in sections; floors are walkable again in minutes.
- Tile, vinyl and sealed stone - the flat head reaches under toe kicks and along baseboards where a string mop just bunches up.
- Rotating a second cover - keep one on the mop and one in the wash so a dirty cover never stops the job.
- Replacing a worn cover instead of the whole mop - the frame and handle usually outlast several covers.
What buyers should know before ordering
This is a cover only - the mop base and handle are not included. It is cut for the 15 inch x 8 inch flat head used by the Sh-Mop and by other flat mops of the same footprint, so measure your existing head before ordering if you are not sure which mop you have. It is machine washable and designed to be reused rather than thrown away, which is the main reason long-time owners of this mop stay with it.
Care
Wash with regular detergent and skip the fabric softener. Softener coats microfiber and is the most common reason a cover stops picking up well long before it physically wears out. Tumble dry low or line dry. Wash microfiber separately from lint-shedding cotton items where you can.

Frequently asked questions
Will this fit my mop?
It is cut for a 15 inch by 8 inch flat mop head, which is the Sh-Mop footprint. Measure the flat base of your mop before ordering. If your head is a different size, this cover will not seat correctly.
Can I use it wet as well as dry?
Yes. Most owners do a dry dust pass first to collect hair and grit, then dampen the cover or lightly spray the floor for the wet pass.
How many times can I wash it?
It is built to be laundered repeatedly rather than discarded. Wash life depends on how heavily soiled the floors are and whether fabric softener is used. Replace the cover when the pile is matted flat and it stops holding dust.
Should I use fabric softener?
No. Softener coats the microfiber and reduces how well it picks up dust and holds water. Wash with detergent only.
Is the mop included?
No. This listing is for the replacement microfiber cover only.
