If you need a replacement cloth for a Scotch-Brite microfiber mop, check the model numbers on the mop and the replacement cloth. A similar shape does not prove that a cloth will fit.
This guide covers the FM-F1J mop and the FM-F1JR replacement cloth. 3M lists them under separate model numbers. If your mop has a different model number, do not assume that this combination applies. Check the manual and official compatibility information for your product.
Check the mop model
- Look for the model number on the handle or cloth holder, on the box, or in the manual.
- If the number is FM-F1J, open 3M’s information for the FM-F1JR replacement cloth.
- Check that the product name and model number on the seller’s page identify FM-F1JR. Do not choose a different model or a product described as compatible unless 3M’s compatibility information confirms the match.
If the model number is unreadable, does not match FM-F1J, or is missing from the replacement listing, pause the purchase and ask 3M or the seller.
What 3M says about FM-F1JR
3M lists FM-F1JR as a replacement cloth for a microfiber mop. Its product page says the cloth uses two types of fibers, can be used for dry and wet wiping, and can be machine washed. These details describe FM-F1JR; they do not apply automatically to every mop refill.
3M’s product list shows the FM-F1J mop and FM-F1JR replacement cloth as separate models. Before ordering, confirm that the selected item is the replacement cloth, model FM-F1JR. Make sure you have not selected the mop itself or a different refill.
Check before ordering
- Is the mop model FM-F1J?
- Is the replacement model FM-F1JR?
- What are the quantity and tax-included price?
- What are the shipping, dispatch, return, and exchange terms?
- Does the selected product on the page still say FM-F1JR?

The buyer pays the actual return costs, and some items or cases may be excluded after the seller reviews the request. Check the current terms before ordering, and match the mop and refill model numbers. Rakuten Bic shipping and return terms
If the model numbers do not match
Do not buy a cloth just because it looks similar. Note the mop model and the replacement model, then ask 3M or the seller to confirm compatibility. I have not verified that a refill from another series, such as FM-B, fits the FM-F1J.
What has not been checked
I have not tested the cloth on the mop, compared cleaning results across floor types, or measured how many uses it lasts. Price, stock, shipping, and dispatch terms have not been monitored over time. Return acceptance depends on product condition, the contact deadline, and the seller's review. If you cannot confirm both model numbers, hold the purchase.
