[endurance] Cleaning Equalizer Pads

We recently purchased a Sports Saddle and the Equalizer
(Skitko) pad that is made especially for the saddle.

Does anyone else have this pad? How do you clean it?
I have an Equalizer for my Stubben, but I can remove
the foam (little velcro strip at top) to wash it. This
pad is all foam, and you cannot remove it.

I thought of pressure washing (with no soap), but wonder
how long it would take to dry?? I rinsed out the foam
inserts in my other pad and it took several days for the
foam to dry completely. I can't imagine how long it would
take to dry the big pad. It has cotton canvas top, which
I'm not particuarly fond of, it stays damp. Since we
are now into November, it will be hard to find a warm
sunny day to dry the pad....;^)

Up to now, I've been brushing the fleece bottom, but I know
that sweat has soaked through the entire pad and need to
clean the foam.

Thanks for any suggestions
