Rodbr Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Do make sure that you really have these clean, the sticky coating sticks like sticky stuff and can and will contaminate the pads |||||||||||||||||||||Don't ask!! If you can soak them overnight and then clean them again with some fresh fluid, wipe them over with clean dry paper till there is no discoleration to the paper.

Steves_TR6 Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Brake cleaner, does what it says on the tin ! I did mine earlier this week,the cleaner gets the preservative off easily, and the greasy fingerprints too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marki Posted May 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Well after a good dose of brake cleaner, somebody decided she had to pop out and while the cats away..... Put them in the DW and hey presto. Worked a treat. And nobody is any the wiser.... Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't get found out but had a job keeping a straight face when the next lot of dishes came out grimy and that was commented on! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
