I also use the chestnut system and have had no problem they would only need cleaning off if too much compound is put onto the mops
If you’re not getting excess compound on your mops over a period of time you’re probably not using enough compound. Again, this is why mop dressers are sold.

I would think not but the rep at Chestnut used to advise using very coarse abrasive. As they will apparently be selling Mop Dressers I expect that advice will soon change.
As a point of interest the “Beal” polishing system mops are or were nearly three times the cost of those available from the company that I linked earlier. Chestnut charge nearly double so if you need to replace any mops get them from a specialist supplier and save yourself a few quid.
While you’re at it look at the large range of compounds available and read the information. Here’s a link.
