Wash mitts
« on: 02 April 2013, 23:43 »
Used Dodo Juice Wookies Fist Wash Mitt for first time today and can highly recommend  :cool: 
Bought to replace a Megs lambswool mitt (which fell apart) and it's so much better.  It's massive, gives great coverage. And holds lots of water  - a bit like wringing out a cat though   :laugh:

Bought from Waxamomo.

+1 on this, I've noticed if you make sure they are rinsed out properly they last longer too.

I've got couple of the Dodo juice sheepskin tribble mits and love them! I've tried a few and these are my favourite, i haven't the wookie or the yeti but i imagine that because they'll hold so much water you'll end up rinsing less? What do you think?

You're right, they take a LOT of rinsing and need combing out too, but that's a small price to pay for a good mitt.  Also take a while to dry - left mine on end of a broom in the wind, which did the trick!

I found they fell apart within a couple of months  :undecided: despite me following the care instructions  :sad:

Carpro FTW.

Wash them out and rinse them carefully.

Dry them slowly indoors, then brush them to fluff them up again!

Think how much care would be taken over laundering a marino sweater and replicate that!

... it's turned into a fashion show for poofters.
