These discussions never die!

I've replaced lots of pads destroyed by dollar bills.

I use a strip of paper towel (a brand that can survive be wet without disintegrating. Dampen on end with window cleaner or some other cleaning solution. Place it between the pad and clarinet body and close the key. Then repeat with a dry section of the paper towel. I suppose cloth could work as well. If you must, you can pull the paper out gently and carefully, making sure not to leave behind any shredding paper towel. Sometimes I follow up with pad powder paper.

The paper towels I use are shop towels and will absolutely not fall apart when wet but they are also more abrasive.
