PRIMARK’S beauty team have revealed exactly how you should be cleaning your reusable cleansing pads from the retailer.
The product went viral back in July as beauty buffs raved about them on social media as eco-friendly alternatives to make-up wipes.
Primark's beauty team's washing routine is designed to get the pads as clean as possible without ruining their softness.
According to employees at the fast fashion retailer, bleach and fabric conditioner are huge no-gos as they’ll make your beloved pads “scratchy”.
“Use a small amount of mild detergent,” the beauty team advised. “Not too much or they’ll feel scratchy.
“Avoid bleach and fabric softener, and let them air dry.”

“Wash in cold water on a delicate cycle to reduce risk of fibre damage,” they recommended.
