Not sure can it be washed by machine or not but i wash the pads like how i wash the microfiber cloths.
I hand wash it with dish washing liquid with plently of warm water, no softener or anything, just washing liquid.

And one advice is better wash it after u use, and don't leave it overnight cos the polish will dry out and that's no good for the pad.
(But you can soak it in the warm water if you wish tho....)

But for me, i will stick with one product, one pad. So buy more pads is what you need

both ways discussed above are great solutions. Many customers tend to buy a few of the colors they use the most. I see white/green/blue/orange as favorites.

sometimes one may not be enough to finish out a car as the pads get saturated.
