Wookies Fist
First off love this mitt!
Only down side I can see for some is if its fully saturated it has some weight so I won't be using this mitt if the foam gun doesn't remove enough grime to my satisfaction
Maintenance tips/tricks I hand wash and rinse,ring the mitt out the best I can and then blow dry using medium heat. Stick a wire coat hanger down the inside and let hang dry in closet over night. Brush it out with a pet comb and then put in a 2 gallon ziplock bag with a bunch of silica packs in the Baggie.

Looks like a nice mitt. I just can't see giving a "blow and comb out" to my wash mitt though.

My wife thought I was nuts when I went for the blow dryer in sure you could get away with out and just letting it air dry. To me the amount of hair that's on this monster I'd rather it dry than start to smell.
Curious to see how everyone else maintains there wookie mitt

I just used mine for the first time yesterday. It loads well with suds and is gentler on your paint than anything else I have ever used. Never the less, it takes a great deal more maintenance. Since it is essentially a sheep hide stitched into a wash mitt, I am most concerned about drying the inside. I, like the poster above, used a modified clothes hanger to hold the inside open and hang it while it dries. In fact, the leather/hide inside is still wet this morning. Any suggestions would be appreciated by me as we'll

Re: Wookies Fist
Try this.... this seems to work for me.
After you rinse and ring out the mitt, put it between a large waffle weave towel (folded in half). Roll the towel (with the mitt in between) from one edge to the other. The towel will absorb most of the water off the mitt. Roll the towel again into a tube and put it inside the mitt then pat or squeeze it down firmly from the outside. I normally would then hang it on a hanger and let it air dry overnight.

Good idea I'm going to stuff it with a couple microfibers and roll it out! Thanks

That causes the fur to clump together and get tangled. Ive done this to a couple cheap wool/sheepskin mitts that I used to use because I was too lazy to let them air dry. Its extremely hard to brush afterwards.

I cut up a water bottle and use that plus some clothes pins to keep the middle open to air for drying.
