6. Troubleshooting
- Pad not lathering: Ensure the pad is adequately wet. Squeeze it gently under running water to activate the soap.
- Stubborn stains remain: Apply more pressure and scrub in a circular motion. For extremely tough, baked-on messes, allow the pad to sit on the stain for a few minutes with a small amount of water before scrubbing.
- Rust on pad: The pads contain an anti-rust formula, but prolonged exposure to moisture can still lead to rust. Ensure pads are dried thoroughly after each use and stored in a dry environment.
