The Bona POWER+ microfiber pad line delivers what standard cleaning pads can’t: 99% bacteria removal rate with 500 machine wash cycles. Built for contractors who clean mixed-surface commercial properties and homeowners tackling high-traffic areas, these pads feature patented PowerLoop technology that breaks apart stuck-on dirt while the dual-zone microfiber system traps it away.
PowerLoop Technology Changes the Game
The unique patented PowerLoop technology gently breaks apart and loosens tough dirt build-up, while the dual zone microfiber traps dirt away. This isn’t marketing fluff. Dark blue fibers break up dirt while the light blue fibers trap and absorb messes — a genuine dual-action system that outperforms single-layer pads.
The 99% of bacteria (lab tested with water) removal rate puts this pad in professional territory. For Montana ski lodges tracking in salt, mud, and snowmelt all winter, that bacteria removal matters. A special antimicrobial treatment prevents odor-causing bacteria growth on the pad, with effectiveness lasting through 50 wash cycles.
The PowerPlus pad features specialized scrubbing ‘loops’ (PowerLoop) specifically for heavy buildup, whereas the standard blue pad is better suited for daily maintenance cleaning. Translation: stop using daily maintenance pads for deep cleaning jobs.
Surface Compatibility Without Compromise
These pads work across 7 different flooring types:
| Surface Type | Safe to Use |
|---|---|
| Hardwood (Finished/Unfinished) | Yes |
| Stone | Yes |
| Tile | Yes |
| Laminate | Yes |
| Vinyl | Yes |
| LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) | Yes |
| Linoleum | Yes |
The soft microfiber won’t scratch or damage your floor. That’s critical for Montana homes mixing hardwood great rooms with tile kitchens and LVT mudrooms. One pad handles the whole house without swapping.
The pad measures 4 in. W x 15 in. L with 0.5 in. - 0.75 in. thickness. Designed for use with Bona 16.5 in. (41.9 cm) mop heads (fits all standard and spray mops).
500-Wash Durability Economics
Bona’s Microfiber Deep Cleaning Pads are machine washable up to 500 times. At 500 washes, a single pad outlasts multiple cases of disposables. While disposable pads (Bona AX0003715) offer convenience, the PowerPlus pad provides 500+ uses, making it significantly more cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
The pad composition matters: 90% post-consumer recycled material. Not virgin plastic masquerading as eco-friendly — actual recycled content.
Maintenance couldn’t be simpler:
- Machine wash warm.
- Air dry or tumble dry on low heat.
- Do NOT use bleach, fabric softener, or dryer sheets (can damage microfiber fibers and antimicrobial treatment).
Installation takes seconds:
- Lay the pad on the floor with the microfiber side down (blue side down).
- Align the Bona mop head over the center of the pad.
- Press the mop head down onto the pad to engage the hook-and-loop strips.
Bottom Line
The POWER+ pad earns its premium positioning through measurable performance advantages. The PowerLoop technology delivers deeper cleaning than standard pads. The 500-wash durability makes economic sense for anyone cleaning regularly. The multi-surface compatibility eliminates pad swapping.
For contractors maintaining mixed-surface commercial properties or homeowners with pets and high-traffic areas, this pad delivers. Use the Bona PowerPlus Microfiber Deep Clean Pad with Bona PowerPlus Hardwood Floor Deep Cleaner for the ultimate cleaning performance.
