Grado Cleaning, how do you clean the ear pads. Can I just put them under water? (obviously pads taken off). Can I use soap? Does the color come out?

Funny you ask this.. What I did was put them in a pot of water and let it heat up until boiling. I also put a lot of red fool coloring in the water... Dont let them boil too long, or the pads will start to sort of "melt". When I took them out and rinsed them off (the dye) and dried them off thouroughly, they were very nice. When totally dry, they were like new. This was with comfies BTW.

Take 'em off, Soak 'em in some warm water, Squeeze out, Add favourite shampoo/conditioner to taste, Squish about for a bit, Rinse thoroughly, Squeeze out, Leave to dry naturally (Won't take long!) - Hey presto, fresh smelling pads!

If you use anti-dandruff shampoo, it gets all the skin flakes out too. Conditioner makes your pads shine.

short answer - soap and water is fine, and the dye won't bleed. but didn't you just get those pads? it should be quite awhile till they start smelling funky - and if they smell funky used, you should get a discount from the buyer!

Try Mr.Muscle, and you could use the pads to brush your toilet. It's very impressive.

I stopped using my bowl pads for a few months and I put them back on recently, and they aren't squished anymore - practically new!

I'm trying to get the minty smell out, and if they smell good after

 

[DaHoboFest]

ok, they are cleaned, are there a specific pad for each ear? A wrong and a right way?

Must be how the term "bowl pads" originated.
