Title: Cleaning your pads
Post by: velvetsky01 on April 05, 2017, 07:07:53 PM: Hi all

I was wondering how everyone (that's IF everyone) cleans their pads?
I am more interested in how they clean the insides of the pads? Where it tends to stain from all that time at the crease we get weekly;-)

I tend to use wet wipes for the front which seem to work well I just never can work out how to clean the back

Any tips?

Or , ( may as well beat everyone to the punch ) ..... buy new pads! :D

Agreed. If the inside padding is detachable, get it in the washing machine.
