I have always got them clean in a bucket with fairy liquid applied direct on to the pad and hand washing liquid in the water, allowed to soak, then rinse well and allow to dry.
Not having used the machine on them not sure, mine are all now over 12 months old and fine just with handwashing. I leave them to soak over night and rinse the next morning.
