Microfiber and Wash Mitt Cleaning
How do you guys wash your washing supplies to get the dirt out after washing your cars. Is it safe to through it in the washing machine?

Here's a link to how we recommend caring for microfiber towels.
For wash mitts, I usually just hose mine down using free flowing water, and let them hang dry. You want to avoid using too much force or using a washer and dryer for natural fiber mitts, like a sheepskin wash mitt. George |

I know it sounds weird, but there was this time that I was researching washers and dryers, and I really got into all the stuff about washing machines, dryers, and doing laundry. There are actually enthusiast forums for laundry -- and of course I joined them and participated fairly heavily for a few years. Strange the stuff you can get into on the Internet. That geekiness aside, here is how to care for microfiber. It turns out this is mostly repeating what is in your link:

I finally cured my wife of fabric softener sheets. Waxy buildup on cycling clothes designed to wick off moisture is the equivalent of wearing a plastic trashbag to exercise.
BK-Does the DWV leave any odor afterwards? I am intrigued because of the antiseptic and bleaching properties it has already, but as far as softening the fabric I had no idea. |

Using DWV as fabric softener is an idea that has been around a long time. I didn't know about it until I started learning more about laundry several years ago, but people have been doing it for ages. It really helps rinse soap out of the clothes in the rinse cycle and soften the water. It shouldn't leave any smell on your clothes, even using up to half of cup of it in a load. But if you're concerned, use the "second rinse" option on your washer (if you have one) to ensure everything is thoroughly rinsed out.
