Can you wash the white foam pads from waxing/leather treatment

I am tired of going through those white foam pads that you buy at the store and just throwing them away. Sometimes it takes 4 of them to do the inside of the car. can you take those pads throw them in a washing machine (one of the paid laundry places) and wash them and reuse? or is it a one time thing only?

I like to use Microfiber towels and use a product called "charlies soap" to clean them.

For my foam pads for detailing and such, I use a citrus based cleaner with water to clean them.

The big thing is not to use your washing machine as it's coated with fragrances and oils that can clog up your supplies. I use a small bucket and wash by hand.
