Any suggestions for the best way to clean a set of pads (e.g. Patterson) that have been sitting in the basement for many years and now have dust and some specs of left over old dirt on them? Three options I'm considering are:
1. Run them through a washing machine cycle (would that be too rough and mess up the printing on them?)
2. brushing them with a soft brissel toothbrush using soap and water
3. Soaking them in oxy clean or some other product

Just curious what has worked for other folks out there. Many thanks.

hand wash with water and soap.. lightly brush with a soft bristle brush.

washer will ruin them...

Listen to Daddy Goose, and try not to scrub the screen print or heat transfers, they tend to get delicate over time.
