keep an eye on your filter-it gets clogged up quickly, and the tumble dryer really gets fluffed up!

Dont you wash them out while you are working ?
When I used to clean windows myself with a leather and scrim I would
wash them out in a bucket of clean water (no soap)  five or six times
a day

Speaking of Scrims - where is the cheapest place to buy them from?

so its ok to tumble dry scrims then?
i was under the impression you could'nt. ???

Dont tumble dry, they go too fluffy. Use a radiator, the quicker they dry, the harder they are, the better they work.

No problems with washing machine as yet but i also tumble dry mine and the fluff from that is a nightmare.

Is it ok to wash scrims with powder or do you just throw them in on a rinse cycle

Dont put comfort in the w/machine, rinse at the end of a day and let dry.

I chuck a pile of scrims in, hot wash, no soap, theres enough impregnated in them already.  Spin, hang on clothes dryer.
 don't dry too fast, they go like cardboard.  That's it.  Iron them if you want, but makes no difference on the job after 2 seconds.
