hmm, usually the best you can do to clean them is to just clean with alcohol or a purpose made disc cleaner and hope it works 😄 maybe soak it in some cleaner and make sure the pads dont have oil on them again, if they do grind off the surface, if it looks like new underneath they can generally be re-used, just grind off the surface
