Finding on colder days the cloths in the van will get cold and even a tad dampish and a pain when you need a new fresh dry cloth from the van.


Yes heater helps but when parked on a road where you do 10+ houses the cloths start to get cold and damp.

Anyone have this problem and had a good solution?

I presume that you're cleaning the traditional way.  My way around it was to buy a few extra and just take more out with me.

A mix of trad and wfp really. Do a lot of internal glass too.

Getting the ashes and dried over night is a pain too.

Lucky I went out to tidy up motor this morning all scrim felt damp so will bring them in house overnight do mircofibre give bad results when damp , and what type or make would any one suggest to replace scrim

I think this is not a problem at all if you use scrim.

A slightly damp scrim is better than a bone dry one anyway IMO

Like mine dry especially on damp mornings

I have about 25 clean dry scrims/microfibre cloths (sill and glass cloths)at the start of the week.

They last me all week and i wash them at weekend.

They are all in a storage box on top of my tank.

I suppose you could bring them in overnight on cold damp nights but I've never really noticed it's a problem . probably because I wfp 90% of my work these days.

Best to look at ways to use less not more scrims/cloths by looking at ways how you clean glass

Use liquidator channel or modded channel = less detailing = less cloths use surely?
Use small cut down channels  to wipe excess water from frames/sills  and/or use a natural sponge also reduces cloth/scrim usage too.

Keep your scrim in your house?

Often it's not necessary to wash them all every time - particularly if only using them for a bit of detailing.  Damp ones dry off overnight if left in an airing cupboard.  If machine washing them, maybe have the machine do two or three extra spin cycles for a few minutes so they come out drier.
