renewing micro mesh sanding pads

Tried something last evening to renew my 2" square micro mesh sanding pads. I bought a mesh laundry bag for washing delicate items and put the pads in the bag and washed them along with a regular load of cold wash. The bag was $2.48 at Target.

After washing, I spread the pads out on a small towel and this morning they seem to be like new.

Re: renewing micro mesh sanding pads

GREAT TIP!! I haven't used mine enough to get them that nasty, but I had already wondered how to keep them clean. Thanks!
