SWEAT-PAD26
SWEAT-PAD26 Cut Pile Replacement Pad
Maximum Surface Friction. Elite Sweat Retention. Engineered for Game Day.
When the game is on the line, a slick spot on the hardwood is a massive liability. Standard looped microfiber pads glide over moisture, often smearing sweat and dust across the court rather than lifting it. The Foster SWEAT-PAD26 (26"X5") Cut Pile Pad is engineered specifically for high-intensity athletic environments where rapid, flawless floor clearing is a non-negotiable requirement.
Constructed with an advanced 80/20 industrial-grade microfiber blend, these premium cut pile pads feature exposed fiber tips that generate intense structural surface friction. This means they grab, hold, and lock in heavy moisture, sweat puddles, and microscopic static dust much more aggressively than traditional mops—whether deployed completely dry or slightly damp.
Key Performance Benefits
Advanced 80/20 Cut Pile Microfiber: The specialized split-fiber cut pile design doesn’t just push dirt around. It creates thousands of microscopic hooks that dig into the wood grain texture, pulling up sticky sweat and fine dust instantly.
Aggressive Surface Friction: Engineered to bite into the floor surface when used wet or dry. It provides the necessary friction to dissolve dried sweat rings and shoe scuffs without damaging high-gloss gym coatings.
Heavy-Duty Velcro Backing: Features a premium, industrial-strength hook-and-loop surface that locks instantly onto your Foster Specialty Mops. The pads stay secure and perfectly flat during fast-paced timeouts and sideline clearing.
Micro-Restore® Compatible Material: Woven from heavy-duty commercial filaments designed specifically to withstand high-heat laundering. When paired with the proper detergent, these pads release trapped grime easily and maintain their static charge for hundreds of games.

Equipment Manager's Care Guide: Keep Your Pads Tournament-Ready
To preserve the static charge and micro-hook structure of your cut pile pads, standard household laundry detergents should never be used. Retail detergents leave behind heavy fragrances, dyes, and fabric softeners that clog the fiber "pores," turning a high-friction sweat mop into a slippery rag.
The Gold Standard Clean: We highly recommend washing these pads exclusively with Micro-Restore® Microfiber Laundry Detergent Concentrate. Micro-Restore is an industrial-strength, biodegradable formula designed specifically to break down and emulsify heavy basketball body oils, sweat rings, and stadium dust. It rinses 100% clean, opening up the split-fiber filaments to completely restore the pad's original game-day "bite" and absorption capacity.
What to Avoid: Never use fabric softeners, bleach, or dryer sheets. These chemicals coat the microfiber strands, permanently stripping away their sweat-wicking abilities. Wash in warm water and tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
