    Re: How to dry a foam pad after hand washing

    I would place a few layers of towel on a counter, place the damp pads on the towels, and then top it off with another layer or towels to make a sandwich, and then use a short pipe and roll it on the pad-wich with all your weight.

    Or roll them through a towel wringer:

    Re: How to dry a foam pad after hand washing

    i simply after washing i put the pad on a towel and cover it up with the towel then i sit one knee on the middle of the pad that would squish out most of the water with out ruining the velcro at all then i just keep them on a towel in my room
    because if its in the garage someone could throw them away or get them dirty somehow

    I use a similar technique that works well--sandwich the pads between multiple layers of terry towel then place on the floor and step on each pad for a short while--at that point they feel 99% dry, but setting on an open rack overnight takes care of any remaining moisture. Eliminates the need to twist the pad/velcro with any ringing action.

    I wring mine out to get most of moisture out and then throw them in the dryer on low heat. Never had any problems.

    Re: How to dry a foam pad after hand washing

    I didn't wash my pads after the last time I used them and I don't have time to give them a good hand wash and air dry before I need to use them again. What's the best method to clean them and be able to use them right away? I don't have a pad washer. I was thinking I could wash them, squeeze them dry like Mike described in the first thread, them run them on high on the DA. Do you think that would work?

    Not enough rpm on a da to dry pads.
