Riccar Vac+Shine Blue Mopping Pads BFP-3 for Rug and Floor Snap-On Base (3-Pack)

Genuine Riccar Vac+Shine Mopping Pads (part BFP-3) are blue, heavy-duty pads with a thick looped pile for scrubbing dirt off bare floors. They fit the Vac+Shine snap-on base (B226-1000), which clips onto Riccar's Multi-Surface Rug and Floor Tool (D626-5005) on most Riccar and Simplicity vacuums. Each pack holds three machine-washable pads.

Fits these Riccar and Simplicity tools

The pads attach to the snap-on base, part B226-1000. The base snaps onto either of these floor tools:

• Multi-Surface Rug and Floor Tool, D626-5005. It fits the wand or hose of most Riccar vacuums, including the R30D Tandem Air Deluxe and R40P Tandem Air Premium Pet, and Simplicity vacuums with 1.25-inch wands, such as the S20EZM, Cordless Freedom S10CV, Sport, Jill, Symmetry and S30.
• Prima Rug and Floor Tool, B338-7900, for Riccar Prima canisters.

Not for Simplicity Wonder canisters. Simplicity says the D626-5005 tool doesn't fit the Wonder series. The Riccar Vibrance R20D, R20P and R20UP need adapter B226-1014 to use the D626-5005 tool.

You need the base and the tool. The pads don't attach to the vacuum on their own. Not sure what you have? Send us your vacuum model and we'll confirm the fit before you order.

What it does

• Thick looped pile. Riccar makes these pads from blue looped terry for scrubbing dirt from bare floors.
• Built for bigger jobs. Simplicity describes them as heavy-duty pads for larger or more frequent cleaning on bare floors.
• Dry or lightly damp. Use them dry, or give the pad a light spritz of multi-floor cleaner.
• Washable. The pads are machine washable, so one pack lasts through many cleanings.

What's in the box

• 3 blue Vac+Shine mopping pads (BFP-3)

The snap-on base (B226-1000) and the floor tool (D626-5005 or B338-7900) are sold separately. For a softer dusting and polishing pad, see the white Vac+Shine polishing pads.

When to replace it

• Wash between uses. The pads are machine washable. With three in the pack, you can keep one on the base while the others are in the laundry.
• Replace worn pads. Riccar doesn't publish a replacement interval. Replace a pad when the loops are flattened or the edges fray.

Expert tip

"Vacuum the floor first, then switch to the pad. Grit under a mopping pad just gets dragged around. Use only a light mist of cleaner, because a soaked pad leaves streaks. Wash the pads on their own and skip fabric softener so the loops keep their grab."

Specifications

Frequently asked questions

What is the "D626-5005" in the name?

It's the part number of Riccar's Multi-Surface Rug and Floor Tool. The snap-on base clips onto that tool, and these pads attach to the base.

Will these fit my vacuum?

They will if your vacuum takes the D626-5005 floor tool or the Prima Rug and Floor Tool, with the B226-1000 base. That covers most Riccar vacuums and Simplicity vacuums with 1.25-inch wands. Wonder canisters aren't compatible.

What's the difference between the blue and white pads?

The blue pads are thick looped terry for scrubbing dirt off bare floors. The white pads are microfiber for gentle dusting and polishing.

Can I wash them?

Yes. Riccar says the pads are machine washable.
