    Im looking for something to clean my pads.

    I have tried snappy clean, dishwasher, and laundry detergent. I remember reading somewhere that dawn power dissolve is the way to go. The problem is, no Canadian Tire or Wal mart Ive been to has it.

    Anybody know where I can get this or if there is a canadian equivalent? Preferably in GTA?

    I think I`ve gotten it at Walmart too. It`s just a common dish detergent. Should be at a number of places like grocery stores

    Im using palmolive too, does little.



    I just realized dawn power dissolve is not even on their website. The only other product which has "power" is "Dawn power scrubbers". Is this a worthy substitution?

    Looks like it`s still there:

    If you can`t find DPD locally then try a good APC.

    I`m sorry, I didn`t realize this thread in the Canada forum...... I was just browsing through new posts.



    My APC won`t do you much good either since it was reformulated a couple of years back and I hesitate to recommend the new version that I haven`t tried yet. I think I recall reading about guys using Simple Green to clean pads, but any good APC should work fine.

    I`ve used Purple Power to clean mine before. Works good at getting stuff that`s been sitting for a while off.
