How do you clean the Nanoskin sponge?

[conman1395]

I have searched, and everything I find is in the DA pads. Some reviews just say rinse it or dip it in a bucket, but there has to be to it than that, right?
Thank you,

That is all i do, dip in my bucket of rinseless wash, hang up to dry.

So this is enough to release the contaminants from the "clay" side? Just dip it in?

I like to dip it inside the bucket and wipe it down with a microfiber towel or a wash mitt. I guess it's better than just dip in and pull out.

I just spray it with a QD solution and give it a few squeezes. Maybe a few more squirts, sling it a bit and let it dry. That solution might be ONR, ONRWW, or it could be D114. :) For that matter... it might even be a dip in a shampoo solution and a rinse with clear water, (followed by the aforementioned 'hang to dry'). :D

I will run some water through it, and then lightly wipe the clay side along a plush microfiber. Mine are yellow, so I can usually see how much junk the microfiber pulls off. Then I just set it on a rack to dry

This is what I do too. In fact, I use the same procedure while using it on the vehicle. I'll wipe it down after every panel, maybe more depending on the vehicle's condition.

Is it supposed to be kept dry ? I wash it really good, spray with the spray lubricant , and fold it, and put in ziplock back, so it's stays wet. I think that's what I read somewhere , not sure about it , that's why I am asking if is it right to keep it wet?

Not sure you want to fold a sponge, you might be referring to the cloth version of Nanoskin.

I suggest that clay towels should not be folded


My Speedy Prep Towel stuck to itself and it took some delicate maneuvering and patience to get it un-stuck

I suggest rolling the towel up, so that the polymer side is against the fabric side. Then I wrap a sheet of wax paper around it and put it in a zip-loc

Thank you for advice. Will do it that way. But what about the condition of the towel? Dry it or can keep it wet in ziplock back.
I didn't have any issues to unfold and it didn't stick as it was wet.
I will roll it from now on.
After doing the car, I used in bathtub for glass and tile, and bathtub itself, it came so clean as brand new :)
Also used a DP high performance glass restorer for bathroom vanity cultured marble, not sure what it means, but it's white like marble , and those hard water spots came right off, also looks like brand new:)

Awesome tip! Thanks Mike! Follow up question - does the rubber need to be treated prior to storage? Will it eventually dry out if not maintained with some thing like BF Clay Cleaner and Extender? Or doesn't it matter?

So Mike, the same applies to the Nanoskin sponges? Not just the DA pads?
