Cleaning after use and storage instructions

After use, rinse the Claying Rubber out in fresh water thoroughly. Be sure to run water on both sides of the pad and through the foam section in the middle as well. DO NOT WRING IT OUT, SCRUNCH IT, OR ALLOW THE RUBBER TO TOUCH THE RUBBER as it will stick together and affect the rubber polymer surface if pulled apart too agressively. Run the side of your hand across the foam section to help remove as much water as possible. A nice little tip is to run the foam backing over the edge of a contoured sink, with your hand putting pressure on the rubber face to push the water out from the foam. 

Now leave it to dry. We find placing an old microfibre cloth under the Claying Rubber on its foam side will help absorb residual water from it as it dries. Leave it for a few hours, even overnight, till it feels totally dry. 

Once dry, store it in a sealed food container (the one in the image is a Decor brand Aussie made one), with the rubber side facing up, or in a spot that the rubber won't come into contact with another item, as it will stick to it. DO NOT store the pad in a plastic bag for this very reason.

Keep it in a cool spot, out of direct sunlight.
