Best way to clean up a grubby nylon padset?  Hot soapy water? Washing machine........?

I'd think long and hard about putting them in the washing machine. I ruined a set of og Skyway pads doing that. A toothbrush and soapy water would be my choice

Glad you reminded me Andy..... I was sure someone had already tried the washing machine route........  I shall take the more gentle approach for now till I get fed up and the Cillit bang comes out the cupboard  :daumenhoch:

I did put my falcon pro pads in the washing machine and they came out ok apart from a bit of loss on the writing. I was always going to carefully paint over the writing anyway to brighten/sharpen them up. I made sure i scanned them first, so if the worst did happen i could get Steve to make me up a repro set

I have put pads in the washing machine.

Always turn the heat right down to 0 degrees or 10 degrees.
Quick wash for no more than half hour.
Leave pads on foam so they don't crumple when washing.

Sorted them - rubbed the grubby bits with neat fairy up liquid, the left them to soak in warm water for a hour (forgot about them to be honest........) rinsed a couple of times and hung them out to dry with Mrs Berts knickers so the neighbours now think she's a pole dancer........
