Pad Cleaning

I've read all the suggestions on how to wash/clean foam pads after finishing a job. What is a good way to clean a pad in the middle of a job, and then continue using the pad? Also, are there any general household products that make an acceptable "pad rejuvinator"?
 
when i'm doing a job and pad gets clogged i use the bristle brush clean it and continue using it to finish job



after done completely i use the 2000 system to clean all my pads frickin thing works great
 
Since I've been switching to Prima stuff lately, its super easy to rinse/wash out. All you need is 2 minutes with a bit of Dawn and a hose. Then I spin dry with my PC and lay it out in the sun and use another pad of the same size. When that pad becomes saturated, I repeat my process and pick up the pad I washed earlier :)

I have always done the same steps but since have added the Universal pad washer great tool to have if you use alot of pads !!
 
Plus 1 for those who clean their pads while in the middle of a job. Many times, if a hose is available it's no big deal to just rinse them out and put them out in the sun on one of my totes or I'll put them in front of a warm air mover to dry. I usually use a light brissel brush and a little dawn in a bucket. Later when I get home I use my pad rejuvenator kit and get them really clean.
 
I used to use a brush to clean my pads mid-job, but I've sorta gotten away from it lately. As long as I don't use an excessive amount of product I can clean them with a spritz of #34 and some rubbing with a cotton towel.



And yeah, Dawn, either the regular stuff or the Power Dissolver, works well.

Can you dry wet pads in a clothes dryer?

I've done it, but I dunno if it's a good idea. Probably harder on the velcro than

anything else.



Spinning pads dry usually works well with the Cyclo and rotaries, but I've had so many pads fly off the PC that I've quit doing it with that machine. When spinning them dry, I hold the machine in a large plastic tub to catch the sling.
