This keeps any ink from touching any porcelion. I then took the bowl of alcohol/ink and while I flushed the toilet and the water was going down, I emptied the alcohol down the middle of the water spout as the toilet water was completing its flush.

When the alcohol became saturated with the ink from the pads, I took the pads out of the alcohol bowl and placed the pads on a triple folded paper towel so the remaining ink would not bleed through anything. I continued to alternate up and down the sponge pads, causing the alcohol to dilute and clean the pads. I gently used the needle nosed pliers (Closed) as a device to gently press on the sponges which were submerged into the alcohol. I took both sponges, and with Alcohol (Pharmacy type), I placed the sponges in a disposable plastic bowl and filled it with the alcohol.

I then turned the printer off, which caused the printer head to return to the parked position. It too, one will find, has two plastic slots on the botton which the sponge will have to be returned into. It too is very delicate and be careful not to rip it. With the power still on and the printhead to the far left, I was able to very gently (with the same needlenose Pliers) remove the sponge under where the printhead was parked. This moved the print head to the 'far left', before the position to change cartridges. The second sponge I removed as follows: With the power on, I pressed the ink cartridge removal light (red) (far left) once. Remember to what position it was before removal, so there is no problem when you try to replace the sponge after cleaning. It has ink residue in it so use gloves if necessary and upon removal place the sponge on a paper towel folded in triplicate so the ink does not bleed through the towel. The sponge is very delicate, so be very gentle in removing it. One will see the two center plactic guides within this lane. I first used a pair of needle nosed pliers and carefully took out the sponge type pad which is along bottom of the printhead travel lane. I opened the door as if to change the ink cartridges. I modified a little what Worldvet had done. SOURCE: Need To Replace The Waste Ink Pad on my Epson Stylus C66
