[GreenKeys] TTY felt padding

[Nick]

Finished up cleaning and oiling my 15KSR the other day - fantastic conditions now.
The machine came with a 17x17x3/4 inch felt pad for the bottom. The purpose I guess is to catch oil and sound insulation.
The pad was in very good shape but extremely filthy and stinky. Soaked it over night in Simple Green, layed it on some old chicken wire, supported by a few short pieces of 2x4's and rinsed the pad with the garden hose til clear water came out (about 10 min). The pad looks brand spanking new now.
TRY IT, IT'S WORTH THE EFFORT !
Do not rub or scrub - do not throw felt in the washer machine or dryer, it will shrink up to 50% or more.
Let it air dry in the sun.

Just like to share the outcome of my little experiment with you guys.
