Title: Cleaning your cleaning items
Post by: scarr89 on 24 July 2011, 14:53

Can you wash all your microfibres/noodles mitt/wax applicators etc in the washing machine?

I didn't want to bang em in just in case they all get ruined!

Cheers

I wash my microfibres in the washing machine, its fine  :smiley:

I use this www.waxamomo.co.uk/index.php?app=ecom&ns=prodshow&ref=cgmwr

I wash my applicators by hand with some washing up liquid and rinse well. I'd think if you put them in the washing machine the wax would cause problems?

yes you need to pre soak them first in a bucket with apc or if you are uber anal some dedicated microfibre cleaner (not needed imo)
give them a good rinse through to get the bulk of it out then bung in the machine on 40/50 degrees with a liquid tab, **no softner**

some dedicated microfibre cleaner

Didn't even know such a thing existed - straight in the wash - no fabric conditioner for mine.
