Storing Used PC Pads

integraoligist · 06-27-05, 05:09

After using your Pads (on your PC) you chuck them in a bucket with some dish soap, soak for a bit and wash/rinse them out...

then do you put them in a Zip Loc bag and seal in the moisture? or just set them out and let air dry?

Air dry then seal in the bag.

Definitely let them dry completely before putting them in a bag, or you will have mold everywhere.

I don't even put them in bags. I actually stack them face up, and then put the last one on top face down, and haven't had any problems yet. The bags are an extra safety measure I guess, but I don't bother.

Air dryed and then put in a plastic box, couldnt find any ziplock bags big enough.

Wash them, place them on PC and spin dry for a quick second then air dry somewhere. Stored in zip loc once dried in a bag with PC and supplies.

I air dry mine then put in a zip lock bag. I don't seal it to prevent mold.

I either spin dry them most of the way and then air dry, or I sandwich them between a MF towel and then air dry after that.

Since I have my huge fortress of plastic storage containers holding my supplies, I make two "towers" of containers, with a lid acting as a bridge across the towers. I air dry my pads under there. The lid prevents any dust settling on the pad while it air dries.

(I'll take a picture if someone wants to see what the h*ll I'm talking about)

Rich - the only place in the UK I've found so far that has them big enough is Lakeland.
Linky to Lakeland bags

Air dry them. Some in plastic containers, some in plastic bags.

I take it that gallon sized ziplock bags are not a common item in the UK then? Readily available in any grocery store here. My 6.5" Lake Country pads fit in the quart sized bags but I use gallon sized bags just to allow some extra room for air drying.
