Washing the sheepskin mitt and MF towel after you're done?

Hey guys sorry for the ultra noob question but I was just curious if there was something specific you're supposed to do with the Sheepskin mitt and MF towels after you're done washing a car.

Can i just toss them in the washing machine or should I rinse them in the sink and let it air dry?

so far I tried washing the sheepskin mitt and it still looks dirty... although when I rinse it the water is clean?

Dont wash them together. Wash separately. And use the gentle cycle for the mitt. Air dry the mitt, and wash the WW on low heat. Remove while still slightly damp to avoid overdrying and static charge.
As for the stains, dont worry about that. As long as its clean, your fine. I usually just rinse mine under clear water.....

i ring mine out in the bucket of soapy water, unless the water is really dirty, after that i rinse it out with the hose and ring it out a bit and hang it up to air dry....

Can I ask what your washing with the sheep skin mitt? Mine never does look dirty. But then I don't wash the wheels/tires with it or anything but body panels.


Patrick when your super duper heavy duty sheepskin mitts coming in?

werd, the only time my mitt would get the least bit dirty is when i would wash my lower rear/front quarter panels, and if that's the case, i rinse thoroughly before washing the rest of the car...

my mitts shed more than my dog tho *angry*

Sheepskin washmitts are very similiar to your very own head of hair. The hair follicles are not very deep rooted. But your after the gentleness to begin with.
