Cleaning Adam's Microfiber pad

How do I clean the Microfiber pads when I'm done polishing? Same as the foam pads (with APC)?

Machine wash but SEPARATE from your other microfiber stuff like towels. The towels tend to grab onto the foam and pad sides and can potentially cause tears in the agitation.

Use a delicate wash setting and a liquid laundry soap (or our Microfiber Revitalizer).

Air dry when they're done or tumble dry (again separate from everything else) on a no heat/air fluff setting.

Thanks. I have the revitalizer so that is what I'll do

I put mine in a mesh wash bag for that reason; no problem washing with MF towels.
I air dry, though.

mesh wash bags like this:
