Washing machine, no detergent.

Washing machine, no detergent.

Exactly!!!

[tom_currie]

get laundrette mine charge £6 a load thats drying to and folded

[Dean Aspects]

Just hand wash them in warm water
then once a month put them on a rince cycle in the washing machine
always done it this way and has been fine
although standing at the sink washing can be time consuming and you do get sick of doing it

I tend to soak mine in a bucket of clear water for an hour before then wash in machine on 0C, with no detergent.

[s.hughes]

I use detergent but no comfort (dont use comfort whatever you do).
Why dont you use detergent?

Steve

[Dean Aspects]

I also dont use any detergents as their is enough washing up liquid in the scrim after a day of detailing
you would just end up with a sink full of suds

[Topclean]

MACHINE, NO DETERGENT.

Washing machine detergent leaves a white powdery residue on the glass.

I do own some scrims but I don't use them.

Sometimes I detail a window with a microfibre prior to wfp because I have found sometimes the black seals hold dirt that runs down after I have gone.

My weapon of choice is the towel that I wipe and dry the sills with afterwards. These do a good job and help enhance my proffesional image.They do get very dirty though should I put these in a washing machine?

My wife buys them at the carboot second hand 50p each, so what is wash or chuck?

[tacky]

no washing up powder .if u have a lot of scrims .dont put so many in  at one time

[ok cleaning]

no washing powder

Wash your sill cloths separatley from your scrims,i use detergent with mine but only half the dosage.The key is in the drying of them,i make sure there either dried on the line or on the radiator,never dry them in the tumble drier it`s fatal.

[Ian_Giles]

I just bung them in the washing machine.

oh, with a little detergent.

Over the years I've found that when I've employed lads, the washing machine will froth so much it  will stop working!

But once properly trained their scrims are not suds laden and will go in the washing machine with no problem at all.

Stick then in your washing machine, if the machine suds up then...er...sorry but your technique leaves something to be desired!

Does anyone still use scrim to actually clean windows? Or have they been reduced to detailing and sill rags?

[Ian_Giles]

Scrim or microfibre is of course still used for cleaning windows, if you are trad then it's the quickest way to clean georgian or leaded windows, they have always been used for detailing and mopping up sills with.
I don't touch scrim itself anymore, I use the large, flat weave microfibre cloth as I think it's superior.
