Default Stained pad

i have a orange light cutting pad, white polishing pad and grey finishing pad

well today i was using PB ssr2.5 on the orange, OD light polish on the white and OD wet glaze on the grey (all products worked great)

i got really busy really fast and couldn't wash the pads for about 5 hours and now i can't get the stains out..the 2.5 came right out of the orange pad easily and the glaze came out mostly but the light polish has stained the white pad, i tried hot water and dish soap and that got some out, but not all


what are some other cleaning methods that i can use that wont take a hard toll on the pads? thanks

Snappy pad cleaner will work or use a Simple Green and dish soap mixture and let them soak. Rinse them with clean warm water and you should be good to go.

Not sure you will get them totally clean, but as long as you are cleaning them and getting the gunk and grime out of it (with the simple green) they should be clean enough to use again.

Don't worry about it. All of my pads are stained. It doesn't effect the pads performance in any way shape or form.
