Thinking about the pad washing machine..

I was thinking about the pad washing gadget for the bucket top after a recommendation from OrngeZ.

My question is this, which is the cheapest pad cleaner powder per usage?
Snappy Clean
DP
Cobra
or WG?

Did I miss any cleaners?

Or is there an alternative to these powders?

I'm not sure but I would think the powders would be the way to go. They have set quanity and any others would have to be measure... I guess everyone is

So far I'm very pleased with Snappy Clean, it really does the job and it leaves the pad clean. I would have to agree with ehuth1 and his comment about the set quantity. I like the fact that with one little bag I know how much water to add and I just drop it in the bucket mix it and I'm done...but mind you meassuring is not bad either. Either one would work but I've only tried Snappy Clean and I'm pleased with it too.

Just my opinion on the matter.

I have 2 tubs of DP (it's cheaper when u buy the 2 pack). It comes with a measuring scoop and it's easy to use u get 16 uses out of a tub, but u can reuse the solution a few times according to the instructions.

I use the WG powder in my pad cleaner. That thing makes a long day a bit easier at the end.

If you were to put Woolite in that bucket and start the rotary you'd have a river of foam by the time you got to the second pad.

Sorry, let me be a little more clear. That system (and those cleaning solutions) seems like a waste of money to me, unless you're really lazy. Put some Woolite in a spray bottle 8:1 and use a little brush.

Well, it's called making things a easier. Most times it costs money to make things easier. Just like people pay to have their cars detailed by someone else. At the end of the day when there are 10-12 pads to be cleaned (wool in particular) the pad cleaner makes the job easy. Both wool and foam pads come out like new.

Dan, have you ever used one?
