You can get them 100% new and clean. You have to use mineral spirits, sometimes followed by IPA. I know a lot of people would rather throw out applicators, which is fine. But I only like to use the nicer applicators and it's much cheaper to clean them than toss them.
Here is an example. It's the only pics I have of this, but I just used this same applicator with PowerLock and it came just as clean.
After testing all those cleaners - still stained:
After MS - as brand new:
When you use mineral spirits do you soak the applicators fully or just use minimal amounts? I have a couple blue css pads that look dirty but are just stained from wax that I don't use much any more only because of the look. Im worried MS might loosen up the adhesive on the hook and loop though.
