For the scholl spider pads - I treat them like i do my other foam pads.
When cleaning in between buffing cycles I keep the machine off and clean them with the pad brush. No issues and never had any damage due to the cross cuts.
After use you can soak in BF powder in your bucket and then thorough rinse with warm water, use a soft brush and let dry. Or you can use you BF pad cleaner and do the same.
I`ve put them in the wash machine as well on warm and then air dry with no issue. I spray them with the pad cleaner prior, rub it in with fingers, no soap with the load and then just run a cycle. Also a second rinse and spin cycle after for any residue.
They are pretty tough pads.
