I buy rolls from Industrial Abrasives.
I keep 60, 80 and 120 grit on the sander mostly. 80 grit 75% of the time.
I have 150 and use it rarely. It clogs up quickly and burns, too.
Here's a nice way to clean rolls.

Thanks for posting the vid.
I've been cleaning belts with that method since shortly after I got the sander. I can't remember if I saw it somewhere or if I just took a notion to try it one day. Anyway, I've been using Simple Green in a coffee can. Like in the vid, I use it over and over. In fact, if I need some simple green for cleaning something else, like a floor, I use some of the cleaner out of the coffee can and then replenish the next time I need it.
Like in the vid, I use a wire brush to remove stubborn bits. I stretch them out on the shop floor to let them dry.
I'm going to load up a 120 grit belt for my next project over the next few days and just use that and see how it goes. I have not really tried to avoid the finer grits, but I have had issues with loading and burning on those.

I lay the strips on the driveway and use the pressure washer.

That's a thought, except that my pressure washer is broken.

This^^^^
Though I bought rolls through Woodmaster Tools at the time, and saved a used strip from the 20" Grizzly that I had and used it as a template to cut from the roll.
