Wo-wo MF cloths & Drying Towel

[mcmaddy]

Just taken delivery of a new drying towel and MF cloths song with the foam lance. I'm wondering seeing as though they are red am I better washing them before use to minimise red/pink run on my white gtd while using.

Hi

I've never had any colour transference onto a car but we do advise caution as they red cloths are not colour fast. My wife's Bug is pure white and I've had no issues.

I would certainly wash them separately for the first couple of washes though.

Hope this helps?

So when it comes to cleaning the mitt and towel, it will obviously need to be washed after each use. I'm guessing just a 30 degree cool wash is best?

No, not if you want your mitt to last as long as possible.  That wash will be fine for the towel or micro fibre cloths but definately wash them separtely as they do run.

To prolong the life of your lambswool mitt you need to hand wash and rinse it, then gently squeeze out excess water, reshape it and hang it up in the mesh drying bag, somewhere warm-ish (don't put it on a radiator) and let it air dry naturally.  Give it a brush out before next use.  I've previously washed lambswool mitts in the machine on 30°c cycle or a hand wash cycle and it has considerably shortened the lifespan of the mitt.

It's sounds like a lot of effort but really takes only 5 mins to wash/rinse out then hang it up and it'll be dry for next time

Ok spot on. Cheers Booth

Hi Snooze

As Bec says, do not machine wash your wool wash mitt. The risk is that you'll shrink it too and then it'll be good for nothing.

Open hose rinse, ring out and then hang up. Even this time of the year it'll dry quick.

I find that after rinsing out the mitt, putting it back on my hand and giving it a good shake helps the drying process no end. Just make sure you have a good hold of it so that it doesn't go flying.

That's true, I sometimes shake it out when it's just damp and this really fluffs the pile up.

Interesting, but what do you do with your wash mitt?
