Stick it in the washing machine with the rest of your cleaning clothes on 40c with some detergent ( no fabric conditioner though).

Thats somewhat re-assuring to hear you suffer from it aswell, I thought it was just me! This is my first but Ive had mine almost as long as you had the ones from Dan!

How do you remember which one to use?! :scared:

You can put a dot on them with a permanent pen.
Besides, my wheel mitt has changed to a grey colour...

They're all different colours and styles.
The one for the arches and wheels are both microfibre mitts with thick strands of MF.
The one for the lower edges is synthetic sheepskin and grey.
The one for the main part of the body is natural lambswool and creamy in colour.

The best Washmitt IMHO that is cost effective, and gentle on your paintwork etc is the Eurow Mitt, available Here (http://"http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washing-and-drying/eurow-sheepskin-wash-mitt/prod_452.html") at CleanYourCar. I had a couple that lasted me a good 12 months, being used 2-3 times a week.
The best way to care for them, is to always keep them wet, and not let them dry out/shrink, so I always tend to let them soak in water. I pop them in the Washing Machine, with no detergent at 30 degrees to clean them, you can tumble dry them on a 'Cool' cycle if you need to dry them for any reason.
HTH,
Gaz
