    Washing your mitten?

    Apparently my old mitten ripped apart thanks to my brothers husky. I bought a glove mitten and a sponge to wash my cars....out of curiosity how do you guys wash your mittens? Do you throw it in the washer? Rinse it till all the dirt and soap is gone with the water hose?

    I don't own mittens but I've done both with my wash mitts. Washed in machine and rinsed with hose/pressure washer.

    I do the same either or but ensure I do not use any fabric softener. Just hate that the mittens tend to un-sow after a while. I just got a new one and it is falling apart.

    If my griots garage MF wash pad gets dirty, a machine wash does it. Then i just toss it in the dryer.

    Washing your mitten?

    MF mitts are machine washed after every use. Sheepskins are hosed out / combed out and hung to dry after every use. The biggest PIA is trying to get ALL of a super foamy soap out of a sheepskin wash mitt like the Wookie's Fist. I've never had one of these fall apart or rip yet.
