Cleaning pads for knees: Remove all loose dirt with a brush. Hand wash the pads with mild soap and warm water to remove sweat and dirt without damaging the material. Avoid using harsh detergents. Drying: After washing, place Knee Pads to air dry away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the material from warping or losing elasticity. Regular inspection: Regularly inspect for tears or seam damage and repair or replace if necessary to ensure they continue to provide adequate protection.
