    What do you do with your foam applicators?

    What do you guys/girls do after you use your form applicators for waxing? Put it away in a ziplock bag or clean them or something else?

    I use DP pad rejuvenator. Soak them for a few minutes, rinse, air dry. Works well.

    Wash them with MF towels in washine machine. My applicator pads usually last me 4-6 applications.

    I wash mine with either a APC mix or Dawn by hand so the products have to chance to ahere to MF's in a wash cycle...I air dry them and bag them..must be dry before bagging or they will mildew

    I use a little soap and rinse them out. Some wax's and sealants are harder to clean out. So I will get a few less use's out of them

    most of the time I toss them .... unless using something that easily washes out with hose, XMT pad cleaner, and water.
