Pad Care:
Wash foam pads in a mixture of Cobra Quik Clenz and water. Soak the pads for up to 15 minutes and agitate with a Foam Conditioning Brush if needed. Rinse and lay flat to dry. Lay the pads foam down on a clean surface to allow water to drain away from the hook and loop adhesive. Store pads in their resealable plastic bags.
