I used a simple method to clean my MM pads. I completed a mini Credit Card pen and cut down my MM pads to accommodate the smaller barrels.
Typically, I scrub the regular size pads with a small brush and let them air dry. However, with these smaller pads I simply put a few into a Ziplock 32 oz. plastic container with a lid and add some warm water (about half the container). Shake the container vigorously for about 45 secs. or more, empty the soiled water and replace with clean water. Repeat the procedure approx. 4-5 times or until the water starts to turn clean and voila . . . clean MM pads. As an added feature, you'll exercise and develop your forearms and grip and not have to go to war about using the diswasher.
