The pads don't really need cleaning. The detergent flows through the pads as you're cleaning. So they’re being flushed as you clean. They'll only get a little bit soiled. Thus you really don't need to take any special measures to clean them. If the carpet is horribly soiled, you may have a situation where you'd want to rinse them after you're done cleaning. But that's the exception; most of the time you can just run them till they're worn down to nothing. Then just peel 'em off and replace.

I've thrown them in the washer at laundromat with my other buffer pads. Hot water, no soap.

cleaning Fiberplus pads

A friend of mine always power washes his pads over a skid,(not fiber plus),but I don't see why it wouldn't work the same.

There is a device available that hard floor guys use to wash srubs. It hangs on a wall with a water hose connection,then spins them while enclosed in this unit.
Their scrub pads don't wear down as fast as ours though.

While I never clean the pads (just throw them away when they wear down), how do you clean the pad drivers? Mine have a small amounts of the pad stuck on them.
