A while back I wrote a review on these Sheepskin-wash pads, which I really liked at the time, and they work great

They still work great, but I have one really big issue with them; maintenance.
Why is this a problem? It's pretty straight forward as far as care goes: rinse them off well and line-dry them.
Well, in a nutshell, because this is the only method I have found for properly maintaining them. This is a problem for me because I am on time constraints with my washes because of work/school, and I'd like something much more forgiving and durable.
With the last two, I found myself carefully rinsing them off and hanging them over the side of the wash bucket, which may be an error on my part for being too lazy to going inside and getting something to hang them on the line with.
The last pad met a terrible fate, hung it on the rim of the bucket in a mad rush while getting ready for work or something....Then arriving home to find that it had not dried. (So I figured I'd leave it to dry for another day). After checking the next evening to see if it had dried, I found it floating in the bucket with some dead mosquitoes, and it smelled horrible... It found its new home in the trash. These are not very forgiving indeed.
So now what?
I’m looking into a big boars-hair brush after having used the SV wheel brush with success. I think these will be a bit more forgiving (If not, the expense of it will hold me to an attitude of taking good care of it.)
Just a few more paydays…………
