What's everyones process on washing pads?

I never clean my pads, I just kinda wipe them off.

 

Pressure wash mine out with 60 degree water. APC them if badly caked up. Then I squeeze out all the water, put it back on my rotary and spin the pad at 3000rpm inside a 5 gallon bucket... After that they are usually just slightly damp.

 

Usually a spritz or 3 of 5:1 APC followed by a good working by hand and then rinsed out. After that I squeeze out as much water as possible and spin dry on the rotary. When I am done I put them in the cupboard to air dry for a few days

 

+1 for this, but I throw them in the washer after, just to make sure I take all the dissolver out.

 

lots of great strategies!

 

just use water to clean all polish out, keep washing untill water squized is clear.

 

Green Aussie cleaner onto the pad. then under warm running water, I give them a good hard massaging to wring all the crap out of them and then take em for a spin in the washing machine

or

same product (15ml) in the machine and after the wash, a double rinse

the green aussie cleaner actually softens and lubricates the pad and makes leaving holograms almost impossible 98% of the time as the polish never runs out of lube
this is a completely natural product and does not effect velcro backing like dish soap can
