ive got about 4 of those yellow meguiars applicator pads i use for applying wax and polish. erm how do you wash them as surely you cant use them over and over without washing them as dust and muck builds up.

im not in the business either of buying them at around £2-3 and using only once or twice.

so whats the best way of washing them? machine/hand wash??

 

I've slung them in with my other stuff, liquid non-bio and 30 degrees wash. Just like I do with drying towels and cloths.

 

I let them soak in a bucket of warm water for a while in a non-bio and then rinse and dry naturally.

 

I find machine washing pointless, you are better to keep them for one product and just wash them in the sink.

 

Exactly what we do.

 

Put mine in a clear plastic zip lock bag when I'm not using them (keeps the dust and dirt off them) and then wash with non-bio when they need it.

 

a soak in the sink for me, then the washer with all my towels and mitts....

 

And me - over and over.Had mine a few years now and still going strong.Admittedly they aren't used as much since i got the German applicator pad but i still use mine for my wheels and tailpipe.

 

Yep and me. Just make sure you don't put fabric conditioner in the machine as you would normally for clothes.

 

Put some vinegar (the white stuff, not the brown!) in the machine now and again when washing your MF's and pads etc - they'll come out like new

 

vinegar will have to try this, how much thou as it stinks lol....

 

I just use a 2-3 cap fulls of vinegar in the wash and seems to work well
