I usually mop using one side of the pad and then next time I use it, I flip the pad and use that clean side. Since I mop so often, I only need to use one side per mopping and it doesn't get that dirty where I would have to flip.

I should ammend that I have a large tiled area in my house.  And it goes right up to my front door, which is our main entrance so it gets a lot of dirt.  

So when I do my weekly mopping I do end up using both sides and then I just toss the pad in the washer w/ my towels.  It comes with 2 pads (well 4 actually, if you count the triangular ones) so I just put a new pad on it each week and wash the other one.

yep. We go through both rectangular pads and sometimes also 1 triangle one. But, we have a lot of HW floor! I wash the pads along w/ all the cleaning rags from cleaning the house top to bottom every other week.

In between, I just spot clean and don't use the steam mop unless it's a big job.

Yes, I change the pad every time I mop, and use a fresh one.  We also mostly hardwood and tile (only carpet is in our bedroom and DD's bedroom).
