Thinking about the pad washing machine..

[TexasTB]

Dawn dish soap in the washing machine, hot water.

run it a 2nd short cycle with a tad of vinegar in the rise cycle. Just to make sure everything is clean.

I have some pad cleaner that has been siting for about a year now. Not sure why I haven't tried it yet.

Dan, have you ever used one?

Nope, havent used one. I guess I shouldnt bash something I havent tried, right? Although Im not really bashing it, just saying it seems like a waste. I know what its like to wash 10 pads after a long day, and Im perfectly content doing it by hand, its easy enough. But to spend over $100 to make something as simple as washing pads a little easier doesnt make sense to me. My money can be spent better on something else. Like a Metabo. Thats just my opinion.

I use a brush and some pad spray cleaner from XMT line. Just spray, scrub, rinse and done..

Pad washing has never been a big obstacle for me

My question is this, which is the cheapest pad cleaner powder per usage?

Back on topic, you should find the results you're looking for using the WG powder. The directions tell you how much to use per gallon *and* from what I can tell it's at least similar to Snappy Clean.
