Washing Microfiber Quick Detail Pad?

[Stangfan]

I see that the label says that these are washable. Should I just throw it into the wash with my other microfibers? Also, do these pads go into the dryer as well?

Thanks!

Honestly, I would try by hand first if possible. Some of them can be a little fragile in the machines.

Thanks. So I guess warm water and a bit of laundry detergent in the sink, rinse clean and air dry?

Squishing them with soap under warm running water


They will get cleaner if you wash them in the sink and use your hand to squish leftover product out of the inside foam core. Then air dry them. Dish soap works pretty well for this, laundry detergent gets kind of slimy.

You can however wash them in a washing machine but if you put them in a washing machine, there's not hand attachment in the washing machine to squish the foam core.

At least our washing machine doesn't have this attachment.

I would also add this: do not use fabric softener if you machine wash them! And I would do what Mike recommends before putting them in the machine. That process works well for the high tech applicator pads too!

My bad, I was thinking wax applicator pad, you're talking about the large microfiber detail pad like this?





Same think just wash with warm water and a little soap, if you're using this pad with Quik Detailer then the dirt you need to remove will be the dirt removed from you car and this should wash off pretty easily.

Be sure to rinse it thoroughly with warm water and then squish the water out and let it air dry. You can wash them in the washing machine but you can get them cleaner and control the process by simply washing them by hand.

That's the one all right. I will be using it with Detailer, so that is the method I'll use. Thanks again!
