I bought 4 Meg's microfiber cutting disc at my local Walmart. I only used them 3 times I washed them in the washing machine and after the last time they separated from the back. I emailed Meg's and sent them pictures and they sent me replacements. I don't want to make the same mistake. How do you guys wash your Meg's mf pads? Previous times I used cg pad cleaner or mf wash from cg.

Rinse in hot water, then some dawn, rinse well and in the dryer on low for about 40 minutes. No issues

If you wash them immediately after use (product is still wet in the fibers) they will come completely clean with just hot water. This is assuming you are using D300 or D301. Other compounds/polishes may require soap and a little agitation to come completely clean. They should not separate like that in the wash, they are supposed to be machine washable.

If they dry out with product on them (which happens to me on mobile jobs) I soak them in soapy water face down. They float so the backing doesn't get wet. After about 30 mins I spray them with the sink sprayer and that usually releases everything. Then I spin them dry on the rotary and fluff them up with compressed air. I have a special rack in the garage to let them dry completely before I put them away.

Even though they are machine washable (and I have tossed them in the wash before) I try to do everything I can to make them last as long as possible.

I have never washed them. After use, they simply go back in the pad cabinet as is. Next time I use them they get brushed with a pad cleaning brush and blown off with compressed air and they're good to go.

I've had great results with warm water, Dawn, and a toothbrush. Even a pad with D300 left dirty for two weeks came out great.
