Looking after a lambswool mit?

Post by clived » Sun Apr 20, 2003 11:56 am

No care insructions on the packaging - what's the deal? Safe to machine wash? Just hang it on the line after use?

Wash it out with luke warm water and shake all the water out, then leave to dry near the Aga [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

No no no - I wanted the easy "bung it in the machine" answer! [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

you can just bung it in the machine but not too often, and to be honest if you hose your car before you wash it then you shouldn't really get the mitt too dirty

but as JR suggests the most suitable way is rinse in clean warm water

and then only machine wash once very dirty

forward planning, thats what i like
