How do you dry your PC pads?

After I've cleaned my pads, I spin them on 6. Then set them out in the sun.

Wash + Rinse + Squeeze excess water out. Then, place them in an old bath towel and fold the towel so I can stand on it. They are 90% dry, so air dry after that.

+ One..would placing your pads in the washer where your clothes are washed eventually build up product resindue? I ask because i see the sealant/wax at the bottom of the bucket at times when using the DP pad cleaner ..which btw is a great product to use if you don't have time to clean your pads right away..

I just press the foam togther (Edge pads) to get most of the water out, then turn the PC on speeds 5-6, their basically dry after that. Then I just leave them on a towel overnight.

Me too. I will try the spinning, heard also the spinning method is good if you use it again the same day.
