    Cleaning Applicator Pads

    I just finished waxing the boat. I have the 7" foam applicator pads that get velcroed onto the main pad. How do you guys get these things clean of the wax. I put them in warm dish soap water last night but not sure if that will work or there is a better way. Any better suggestions?
