Do this. Hose them off, spin them mostly dry, let air dry.

However, I just picked up some pad cleaning solution that I'll be trying this summer.

Just got done cleaning some pads with the conditioner/cleaner system I mentioned above. Pads came out much cleaner and took about half the time to clean. The conditioner helps to keep the foam from soaking up all the product and the cleaner breaks up the product without leaving a residue. I think using the conditioner every 3-4 sections helped cut down on dusting as well. Very pleased, will buy again.

Think the 2 step system is from pinnacle. I'll check when I get back in the garage tomorrow.
