washing pads in washer

[CAMAROZL1]

I looked up on the form about washing pads in washer with no real definitive answer. I just bought some LC Hydro tech and sadly couldn't clean them as well as I like. Was on a tight schedule. They have been in my car for over 48 hours now. I did clean them best I could but know theres still product in them. Was thinking machine wash with warm water and spray some XMT pad cleaner. Also have washer on delicate. Any thoughts?

Give it a go, I machine washed all my LC pads, no problem. Temp 40C degree.

As long as you wash just the pads it should be fine. I've never done it though...

I have washed all my pads in the washing machine with no problems. Just remember to let them dry face down, so the water doesn't exit through the Velcro backed side. You should be OK.

I just wash mine by hand. But a lot of people do wash them in the machine.

i have always washed mine by hand with DAWN...and they always came clean for me. I have tried washing pads in the washing machine before the MF pads and they didnt come clean to well..especially down in the foam below the fibers...you could feel there was product down in there.

Mine have only seen the washer...for years. They will be just fine.

So should I wash them in a washer, or use the Pinnacle pad conditioner?

Or do you think the Bucket Pad Washer is the best method?

Before I had a pad washer, I would use XMT pad cleaner after I used them. After returning home I put them on the "hand wash" cycle by them selves. Never had an issue. Now I keep a bucket filled with 3 gallons water and DP pad rej. They are soaked immediately after uising them. Once the detail is over, they are cleaned in the pad cleaner bucket before I leave the site. I also use that same DP solution to throw my Mirco fibers in . They soak for about 2hrs then I throw them in the wash on rinse and spit. I'm done and ready to roll the next day.
