Best way to clean up a grubby nylon padset? Hot soapy water? Washing machine........?
-
Got decals on Bert ???
-
Yep, thats my panic....... NOS, just grubby....
-
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

Deffo not the washer then Bert, gently gently catchy monkey :D
-
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........

Picked this up recently - thought the washing instructions were interesting(!)
