Drying wash mitts

[jordan572]

How do you guys dry your wash mitts? Can they be machine dried on the lowest heat setting or will that still wreak them? That is how I have always done it but I just received another merino wool mitt today and it seems a lot softer and fluffier than my other one that I have only been using since spring. Should I stop using the drier? This is the only way I can thoroughly dry them unless they sit outside for days. I worry about contamination then.

Can't give a better answer than that!

I wash mine out in the sink after every use and hang to dry.

Is it okay if I use the dryer? I am worried it shrinks them and causes the bad to loss the softness because the new one seems to be very fluffy and a lot bigger.

The new mitts are much much larger/fluffier. Let's take a moment and thank all the sheep for their sacrifice.

Mine is rinsed thoroughly over the grit guard, shaken and squeezed until most of the water is gone, and then they dry in the sun if its sunny (like they are right now) on top of the grit guard. If its overcast or raining, I dry them in the dryer on low heat.

Wash mine every few uses and always hand them to dry (opening pointing down) in the basement. Dry fully in two days. Usable the next day.

Shouldn't the wash mitt be usable immediately after washing? Not wanting to use a wash mitt because it's still damp is like not wanting to go swimming while it's raining because you might get wet.

Rinse,rub on grit guard,rinse, wring out, run thru dryer ( by itself) on air dry,hang on clothes line for final dry, after dried I hit with master blaster and comb with brush. Looks brand new and there no wolf in sheeps clothing to scracth my ride. Same process for regular wash mitts.

PS: My wife shakes her head and smiles. She says she's going to send me to the Adams clinc for detail addicts.

Merino Wool Mitt in dryer?

 

I think not!

 

It's a natural product, not synthetic. It's basically leather on the inside with the animals hair on the outside. Would you put a leather coat in the dryer, or a fur coat? No

 

Hang it up with the hand hole open is what I do after I wring it out well.

I wouldn't wear either in a rain storm...just saying.

I hang mine to dry indoors
