New buffing pads question

In the past few weeks I’ve picked up between 10-15 purple wool pads, microfiber pads, and uro fiber pads. Can I throw them in the washing machine with a few new microfiber towels?

If all these items are new, they don`t need to be washed..

If they are used, see below --

I only wash Microfiber Towels with Microfiber Towels... The reason - I don`t want anything extra getting into the microfibers..

All my pads, that are foam or foam wool, like the Lake Country Purple Foam Pads are washed only with Snappy Clean powder, by hand --- https://www.autopia-carcare.com/snappy-clean-powder.html#.XjSkITKQH3g

I don`t need Uro Fiber Pads, but if they are microfiber pads, I would also wash them separately with a Microfiber cleaner.. If you already have a microfiber cleaner, for your towels, then you are set..

Do NOT wash purple wool with anything MF. Trust me on this. Did by accident and it sucked.

I prefer washing all my buffing pads by hand with a nylon pad brush. Washing machines do not get them as clean and also do not push enough CLEAN water thru them to get truly contamination free results.
 
Second snappy clean. Stuff is boss! Worked on M F as well as foam. Soaked for an hour and rinsed completely clean

Very good approach. I even wash plush/non MFs separately.

Same experience here; I`ve never had any washing machine get my pads clean nor sufficiently rinsed. And HE washers don`t even get my regular MF towels perfectly clean all the time.
