Review on The Rag Company Cyclone Wash Mitts - Korean Microfiber Blend, Foam Padded, Scratch-Free, Lint-Free (2-Pack) by Caleb Quade

Quick info from my experience 1) Brand new mittens shed microfiber threads like crazy the first wash and dry (cold wash only and tumble dry) 2) If I rub them against sand, they shed even more threads. 3) Worse than losing threads in my dishwashing bucket, they left threads on my car paint that I had to remove before drying. 4) They keep the sand on the sand guard even after rubbing. washboard. Because of their thick and deep nature, it's difficult to see the sand they've caught to pick out. (See details below) This is a highly recommended wash mitt, at least from the Detailer Youtube group. I used a Chemical Guys chenille wash mitt and used it for about 6 washes and the inner lining started to wear out. I chose these Rag Company gloves after watching several videos talking about how great they are and the durability of the inner lining. For my first wash, I followed The Rag Company's website recommendations. Wash in cold water with Free & Clear detergent and add 1/4 cup vinegar to bleach opening. Then dry for about an hour. The swirl trap in my dryer was full of the microfiber threads that make up these mittens. Let's move on to the actual user experience. Actually, I use the 1-bucket method. Just a sandproof bucket and a sandproof washboard and my car soap concentrate diluted 9:1 in a spray bottle. Like most people, I wash my car outside in the driveway. There are a lot of trees around so my driveway is covered in leaves and pine needles and all kinds of fucking trees are falling over. Some of these things inevitably end up in your laundry bin for a variety of reasons. That way it also ends up on the glove you rinse out in the rinse bucket. I rubbed this glove on the washboard but I couldn't pull it off. I blew it with my hose and it didn't get clear. I ended up having to handpick most of the leaves, and the thick microfiber makes it almost impossible to get everything off. Chenille mittens clean the case from sand very well. They are also open enough to easily see if leaves or sand have stuck to them. These mittens also cost almost twice as much as chenille washcloths. As such I find them to be terrible value compared to chenille mittens which I think do a great job or wash without a scratch. show how difficult it is to clean the sand between the washing trays.
