I'm planning to use these on slendertone belt. Do we have to clean the pads after every use? How will they improve the lifetime of the pads?

I use alcohol towels to clean the pads after every use before repositioning the plastic covers!

I have not been cleaning the gel off and it works well still. After a couple of weeks the gel will turn into a glob which you can pull off and re-gel or just change your pads.

You don't have to clean the pads after every use. What works for me in terms of prolonging the life of the pads is to use a baby wipe and wet it with isopropyl alcohol and use it to clean the pads. You'll want to make sure that you have sufficient alcohol on the wipe to prevent any sticking. Once you have cleaned the pads just let the alcohol evaporate from the pad.

If you mean after multiple cycles in the washing machine, the pads don't look brand new anymore. I do bleach them in the wash, but to the mops credit, it picks up so much filth they can look a little grey. But they ARE clean. If you're asking how long they last during a cleaning... I mop a large area like the kitchen, then I pick it up and peek under the mop to see how much I've picked up. If it's COVERED in dirt I change it, if I can still see the white of the pad I keep going. Hope that helped!

I wipe mine off with an Isopropyl Alcohol swab as soon as I get home from the range. This way I can use them many times before I use a new pair. I wear each pair about 10 times which is when they start to loose elasticity.

The pads get less sticky over time and are easier to use. I use mine a long time so I even wet the area where I want to apply them. I have no problems with the machine.

Yes I think these would help you. Pads are made of materials that do tend to irritate down there. Just remember do not put bleach directly on these pads. I hope this was helpful.

Also, forgot to mention, the pads last a long time. I am still using the pads from 2 years ago.

Is there some kind of chemical cleaning solution in these pads? Can you use your own solution?

Use spray and wash on them and wash them separate the pads only, no I havent noticed any smell. I do however normally beach out the washer once a month anyways and run it on a cycle to clean it even before I starting using the pads. I hope this helps

I don't think the pads are meant to be cleaned. I've run mine the past three summers and haven't had any issues with odor or calcium deposits. When the pads wear out (eventually) I'll replace them. But since they hang outside the resivour of water, they dry pretty quickly when the pump is not running.

No. I typically use a portion of the pad and when it is saturated with polish I rotate the pad to a clean spot. Much neater than a wad of cotton and doesn't leave behind threads like cotton and regular remover do.

Use Hot water, NO BLEACH and NO SOFTNER!They might still be stained looking but they are clean! I love mine--I did have to buy more about 9 months in. You can get the pad through Amazon. Hope this helped!

I find that you can re-use the pads several times before replacement if you moisten your finger and lightly rub the pad a few times before using it again. I do find it necessary to rub off the skin area with alcohol to clean off all gel before re-applying new gel. Remember...a little goes a LONG way and it is really needed for good conductivity.

Any product or pad recommended for stainless steel will work fine... I have run mine in the dishwasher several times without detriment; I also use plastic scrubber and Dawn liquid for the tough spots / manual cleaning. Hope this helps...Bar Keepers Friend is excellent as well. TomT

Brian, I've tried soaking the pads in warm soapy water to loosen some of the dirt before I wash them in cold water. I think the pads say "do not use bleach". I finally got so frustrated that I ordered new pads because they seem to be impossible to clean after a couple of uses. If you hear from anyone else, I'd be interested in their results.Thanks,Stephanie Kentala

Hello all,As a seller of these pads we recommend that you wash and dry them prior to use. They will fluff up once put through a cycle which will help with some of the minor issues you might have. Thank you all for your purchases. We truly appreciate your business.

I have saved the little plastic that comes with the pads and have reused them several times. You can tell when the sticky no longer sticks or is dirty and then replaced them. they have worked for awhile and are great. I ordered new Off of Amazon.

I use slender tone which are pads attached to a belt that is adjusted with Velcro. The gel helps the pads adhear to your skin but they just peal off with no stickiness after.
