Lots of things color pads.
Normally I only use my pads once then out, but probably should be no problem

i have cleaned up pads with dp pad cleaner
Snappy Clean Powder in those individual packets has worked great on my zillion pads for years..
It is low foaming and rinses very well, so you get really clean pads again..
Its strong and will remove all the oils in your hands so I always like to use a pair of nitrile gloves or something when I clean all my pads by hand..
Its always good to throw the just finished using pads in a bucket of this same solution and push them under so they soak it up.
Then come back later and take them out perhaps make a fresh batch or not, and clean them and rinse them..
So easy peasy...

anyone use a pressure washer to clean their foam pads?
I used speed on a white pad and it did the same thing.
I have a pad washer with the Snappy clean and the purple remains.
A power washer has been used before. https://youtu.be/bkLXeWyxP0E

I should have also added. A stained pad won`t affect use so as long as its clean continue to use it.

thanks, one pad has dark stains on it from when i touched a gasket. couldnt get it removed but the pad washed out clean every time.
next time ill try the pressure washer on a older pad and see how it goes. and need to remember to soak my pad right away instead waiting till the next morning
Or, dedicate it...use the same pad with the same polish till it starts to wear then toss it. I too have found some polishes stain. Those that do I try to stay away from them.
