You were rather single-minded with your initial statement, jumping to the premature conclusion (which may or may not be wrong) that his pads were unusable in need of a replacement.
As for the OP, he should probably try washing them and then see afterwards if the sound is lacking, before deciding whether to replace them or not.
Had you said this much earlier, I might not need to waste my time on this thread. And no, I never told OP to "don't even attempt to wash". Read again. I saw the picture, figured damping/construction materials already damaged beyond trying reuse it, thus I recommend replacing the pads. If they were like less than 6 months old and/or had much less wear, I would probably recommend clean them thoroughly and use them again. But we are talking about pads which is more than a year old, and was used in rather bad condition according to OP, with picture to inspect.
You don't clean them. You throw them away and buy new velour pads. It's 1 year old and it is pretty safe to say they reached the end of their lifespan.
