[BioHzrd]

Havent got a clue mate ive just been told always wash them with microfiber wash as detergents wreck them you could try one n see what happens i guess up to you in the end

 

[Sheilas’ Wheels]

^^ good point. I'll whack one in now. I've got about 20 of the f*****s, so prob best to try it first before I go balls deep.

i tend to wash mine with a tad bit of fairy liquid and warm water but dont put fairy liquid in the washing machine lol

 

[Jay_clio]

after i used mine it went into the washing machine with my clothes added a bit o Cyclone(orange bottle) and came out clean

 

[kic]

done 2 tonight bit of fairy in a basin or sink with warm water work it in and rinse under cold tap, squeeze out excess water and feck it in the tumble dryer, dont think this would be much help with 20 of the things

As pinky says find Daz to be good just dont use fabric conditioner it will ruin them

 

[Nafoff]

Silly boy lol you know not to do that next time

Don't use fabric softner, as it will harm them.
Normal washing powder is fine to wash them in, but make sure they are rinsed well, as grains of the powder can become trapped in the fibres and marr the paint.

A dedicated microfibre wash is best to be safe.

Most people recommend liquid detergents just incase, no softener is a must as it wrecks them. On the normal gungy job ones I go up to 50 degrees if need be.

Other ones for clean takes hand wash with Woolite and they stay as good as new for years.

 

[Christophe]

can you wash them in a basin with that chemical guys product? Or does it have to be in a washing machine?

 

[Brand86]

I use it in a basin mate, not even sure if you can use it in the machine.

I just give the cloths and applicator sponges to whoever is loading the washing machine, and they all go in with normal clothes.

No probs so far.

A quick wash with any kinda of detergent should be okay shouldnt they ? ive been wahsing my der wunder pads since i got them with ariel and theyre still fine. Not used fabric softener on them though.

They do seem to "dry" out and go a little bit crispier when using detergents I find. May stick to just warm water in future.

Woolite keeps them as good as new, a few I have not washed in the same way are not as good.
