Cleaning your cleaning gear..

[MrHouston]

Done a search and found this http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showpost.php?p=940828&postcount=11

But wondered if anybody has their own methods of cleaning:

The Megs applicator pads (foamy type)
Microfibre towels

I'm gunna guess throw them all in a washing machine with no deturgent and let them dry naturally?

Much apreciated :y:

I asked the same question on the "CleanYourCar" forum and got this answer:
Best way - Hand wash with a microfibre wash solution.

Good enough solution - a non bio wash in the machine at 40 degrees on an acrylic cycle and no fabric conditioner.

Bad way - 90 degrees, biological powder, fabric conditioner

A couple of different microfibre wash solutions:

There could be stuff hidden, and it could break down your cloths. I think CYC should know best ;)

hmm i see :wacko:

Well i will continue as i have never had any problems lol

Surely a 90 degre wash would break down dirt better than a 40 degree wash, hence why on my washer its called "intensive stains" wash :wacko:

lol meh, its all good ha

[minxymears]

90 degree wash may also damage the material of the cloth.... and make the cloth rough so it scratches your paint....

put them on a handwash setting about 30 - 40 should be fine, and i wouldnt use any fabric softner or even powder, just the hot water alone should be enough

Check this thread out: http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showthread.php?t=205855 :y: for the megs applicators I just wash mine in the sink with a tiny amount of non bio liquid to loosen the polish, rinse well and leave them to dry. They're not really dirty coz the cars clean, just have polish in lol.
