Microfiber Pad Drying Cloth

Microfiber Pad Drying Cloth

Water in your keys? I spent a month looking for the best material to dry pads and I found it. In Korea.

These soft, extremely thin microfiber pad dryer cloths are quite simply the fastest, most effective, durable and inexpensive I could find. So I bought a ton of this material, cut it into strips for you to use, and am selling it for next to nothing.

For $2, you get two feet (60 cm for everyone not from 'murica or brit'n) of this stuff, in two strips. Just cut them to the size you want, and you're good to go.

Machine-washable. Imported, by me.

Great for drying tenon joints too!

I use a strip to dry pads when I need it, but more often I use this every day after practicing to dry the tenon joints. Previously, I was using the microfiber mouthpiece cloth to do this but it was never really very absorbent. This stuff sucks up the moisture accumulation in the joints so I can put away my clarinet entirely dry. Just wish I could get a piece in a larger square (similar size to the mouthpiece cloth)!

Great way to prolong the useful life of your pads

Great way to prolong the useful life of your pads. These drying cloths are the perfect width and easy to direct toward every pad. What's more, they are available at a very reasonable price, especially considering how much they will save in pad replacement costs ultimately.

As a clarinet player I often have issues with the C#/G# key and the side Eb/Bb key

As a clarinet player I often have issues with the C#/G# key and the side Eb/Bb key, not to mention the throat A and Ab key tone holes filling with moisture. These strips are a quick and effective fix when there isn’t time to do a full swabbing out. I recommend them.

So absorbent!

This stuff is so much better than anything else I have used, including the *much* more expensive B&G pad dryer. And with this one strip I have enough to put a piece in each of my cases. Thank you!

The absolute best

When you read product descriptions on this site not only do you get the truth, but you get a little chuckle as well because Mike's dry sense of humor rings true. This product is hands-down the best product I've used for getting that pesky water out of your tone holes. It's not hype when he tells you about this product why it works how he goes out of his way to get source materials. The Clarinet is my religion and Mike is the prophet that speaks the truth! Don't wait by this product today and tomorrow and the next day

Great product!
Very absorbent, and the surface is not rough at all.
Easy to handle, and DOES NOT FALL APART like cigarette paper, which can get stuck in the tone holes.
Watch Michael's comparison video, it's very informative.

I have the Spit Sponge that works the same way and I love it! Super-helpful product!

I use these microfiber pad drying cloths to do just that (on my saxophone). For a sax, it would be better if the pads were available in a wider profile (for the largest pads). These do the job and last for several months before they start to get fuzzy and need to be replaced. Definitely less expensive than some other options.

Works great. I keep one clipped to my music stand so it's always at the ready.

The strips of Microfiber Pad Drying Cloth work very efficiently to preserve pads by removing moisture that accumulates on and around them after playing your instrument. They are generously packaged and economically priced. Buy them and you won't get the weird looks and awkward questions from vendors of cigarette papers which many of us have used to dry out pads previously.

The cloth soaks up the excess moisture from the tone holes really well. And it's reusable!

These have absolutely saved the day - far superior to any other pad dryer/paper I've tried. I've used them so much they're already pilling a bit after a few weeks but the great news is the cost makes it affordable to buy more as needed, thank you for this amazing product!

These microfiber cloths are fantastic. They do the job and last. I also use the reed finishing cloths which are a game changer for me. The reeds last much longer and seal on the mouthpiece !! Thank you Michael for carrying these products -Arnie

Super cheap for good quality pad dryer thing (I forget exactly what it's called). I used it on clarinet to fix water in my keys and all it required was one dab with it!
