Re: Foam Crucifiction...

I have heard some using Dawn and Dawn Power Disolver. I find a scoop of DP in a bucket is all I need. Soak, rinse, and dry. I like dedicated cleaners when possible.

Re: Foam Crucifiction...

Oh, so simply soak and rinse -- I don't have to scrub and agitate with my hands or anything like that? That's awesome - this forum is a wealth of knowledge! Thanks.

Re: Foam Crucifiction...

The XMT pad cleaner works very well. I've gotten pads 100% clean after they have sat for a couple of days, caked with product.

Re: Foam Crucifiction...

To get pads nice and clean..get some Dawn Power Dissolver....wet the pad first with water...spray the Dawn PD on it...rub it in..let sit a few minutes....then wash and rinse by hand....or can throw in machine....

this stuff is only product I know that gets Collinite out of pads...

pads come out super clean...

2.89 a bottle at wal wart....
