We recommend washing in a regular washing machine with regular laundry detergent along with your microfiber towels. Just don't wash with any cotton material. Dry in the dryer on low heat. Works fine for us.

If you are cheap like me, rather than use the washer and drier for one pad, simply hand wash in the sink (or laundry tub) with dish liquid, rinse well, and let it sit on the edge of the sink (or laundry tub, wherever) to air dry. Will be dry in a couple of hours and you have saved a few cents. Hey, they add up.

Meguiars use to have a "dynacone pad cleaner". It came with the foam wheel cleaning brush that attached to a electric power drill. It was a sprayable solution. The directions were to spray onto the pad liberally. Fill up a bucket of warm water (or sink), place the pad face down, and dwell in the warm water for 15 minutes. Wring out after the 15 minutes while submerged followed by rinsing clean under flowing water from a faucet or hose until it wrings clear. Since they discontinued the sprayable solution, I use dish soap (Dawn) with a couple of drops directly onto the pad, wet so I can rub the soap evenly through the pad and follow the same directions by submerging face down and then wringing out and letting air dry...similar to what Blueline mentioned.

This is what I do, except I use APC instead of dish soap. I wet them and let them soak for awhile and they come pretty clean, then let dry.
