How often do you all wash your wash mits?

Thanks

After each use.

Usually every other wash...unless the cars are unusually dirty or salt covered, then after every wash

After each use.

I don't actually "wash" my mitt. I clean it out in a bucket of clean water with a Grit Guard (just as if I was rinsing between panels during a wash), wring it out thoroughly and slip it over a soda bottle or something similar to prevent cuff damage.

Yep.

Yep again.

And this is how to do it.

Unless I actually get something in it that requires actual cleaning.
Like a blob of grease that was thrown up from the road and was hiding under the drivers side fender lip:eek::mad:. If that happens I will actually wash the mitt to get the grease off.

After each wash I throw my mitts and WW in the washing machine

After each wash.

I still use sheepskin mitts so I'm not sure if this is important with Microfiber but after my sheepskin mitts are washed in a washing machine (extra gentle cycle on my Maytag) I turn them inside out and hang to dry.

I have had mixed luck washing sheepskin mitts. One brand literally falls to pieces during a wash cycle, other brands seem to last for a season.

After each use. I use a grout sponge and to clean it I take a few drops of dawn dish soap and a soft bristle brush. A few minutes of scrubbing and rinsing out and its like new.

If I am washing a couple of cars, say 2 or 3 I may reuse the same sponge and reuse the ONR bucket. I will typical use two sponges and may use two buckets, one for rinse and one for ONR.

I rinse it with water till the shampoo is out of it at the end of each wash session then lay it on a bath towel to dry.

Thanks everybody!

Which brand Sheepskins have you had luck with lasting a whole season in the wash? I'd like to find a durable sheepskin mitt, but I have been using the Eurow mitts so far. I don't think I'd trust them once in the washing machine

I throw my mf and wash mitts in the washing machine and use micro restore. They come out brand new and very soft.

I have been using a Meguiar's sheepskin mitt for the last 2 years and it's just like day one.
