Brushed out my neglected Adam's wash pads


Bootstrap

Question

Well, after reading what Dylan had said about brushing out your wash pads to prevent matting, and the "dreadlock" looking pattern in the fibers that we see after multiple washes with the pads. I was really amazed had how well the fibers unwound when I began brushing them. I've been using these two pads for about a year now, will well over 30 washes in them without ever being brushed. So they're quite neglected, and because they've gone so long without maintenance that the fibers have developed a sort of "memory" and when i wet them now they try to bond back together in the dreadlock pattern, but it is still substantially better than before.

The GF said I couldn't use her brushes, so I went and bought an "all purpose" brush from Dollar General, similar to this one:

I will also try to comb out my pads this weekend, as I would love to boost the longevity of them. (They have been dreadlocked with using them over a year, 30+ washes, and only cleaned via APC/rinsing.) I'm not really a wash mitt kinda guy, but I was tempted my the merino simply because I wanted it to last longer than the pads.

 

Hopefully this combing method will breathe new life in my older pads and I can stick with them.

Wow, never thought of that. Great information, I'm going to do this tonight. I also just watched Dylan's mat washing technique video and will follow that perfectly next time. I always rinsed and cleaned them, but not so systematically.
