Yes, in most cases, you can machine wash polishing pads. Here’s a general guideline on how to do it:

1.Rinse off excess polish: After using the polishing pads, rinse off any excess polish or residue by running them under warm water. This will help remove the majority of the product.

2.Prepare the washing machine: Place the polishing pads in a mesh laundry bag or pillowcase to protect them during the washing process. This will prevent them from getting tangled or damaged.

3.Select a gentle cycle: Set your washing machine to a gentle or delicate cycle with cold water. Avoid using hot water, as it can potentially damage the pads.

4.Use a mild detergent: Add a small amount of mild detergent specifically designed for delicate fabrics or handwashing. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as they can leave residue on the pads.

5.Wash the pads: Place the mesh bag or pillowcase with the polishing pads in the washing machine and start the cycle. Allow the machine to complete the wash cycle.

6.Air dry: After the washing cycle is complete, remove the polishing pads from the mesh bag or pillowcase and let them air dry completely. Avoid using a dryer, as the heat can potentially damage the pads.

It’s worth noting that some polishing pads may have specific care instructions provided by the manufacturer. Always refer to the care guidelines provided with the pads to ensure you’re following the recommended cleaning method.
