How to dry a foam pad after hand washing

I would place a few layers of towel on a counter, place the damp pads on the towels, and then top it off with another layer or towels to make a sandwich, and then use a short pipe and roll it on the pad-wich with all your weight.

Or roll them through a towel wringer:
Chamois/Towel Wringer
 
i simply after washing i put the pad on a towel and cover it up with the towel then i sit one knee on the middle of the pad that would squish out most of the water with out ruining the velcro at all then i just keep them on a towel in my room
because if its in the garage someone could throw them away or get them dirty somehow :argue:

I use a similar technique that works well--sandwich the pads between multiple layers of terry towel then place on the floor and step on each pad for a short while--at that point they feel 99% dry, but setting on an open rack overnight takes care of any remaining moisture. Eliminates the need to twist the pad/velcro with any ringing action.
 
I wring mine out to get most of moisture out and then throw them in the dryer on low heat. Never had any problems.
 
I didn't wash my pads after the last time I used them and I don't have time to give them a good hand wash and air dry before I need to use them again. What's the best method to clean them and be able to use them right away? I don't have a pad washer. I was thinking I could wash them, squeeze them dry like Mike described in the first thread, them run them on high on the DA. Do you think that would work?
