PC pad problem

[Dalton]

I think I out my PC pads away while they were damp after washing. Took them out today to use and they had spots of mold on them. Not a lot but a few spots. Are they toast? Can they be saved/used?

Mould won't hurt anything as long as they are fairly intact, just wash them out with warm water.

They are very much in tact. It happened the first time I used them. Thank you for you response

Dalton,

Same thing happened to me with the mold. I then cleaned them by hand in my sink and put a little Oxy Clean in the warm water. I tried the Oxy clean only because the pad is getting old and I figured if it damaged the pad so what. I was amazed that it cleaned the pad so that it almost looked new again and also removed the mold. .
