You can also machine wash pads on a gentle cycle in cold or warm water, no more than 10 pads at a time. Avoid hot water, which can shrink the hook-and-loop backing. Don't use a pressure washer or high-pressure compressed air on foam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy We Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinessing is the final touch before protection.
