Title: washing mirco fibs and scrims
Post by: lee_dewing on March 23, 2014, 10:31:56 am
My wife won't let me wash my newly bought blue micro fibres :'(

This is why i always used scrims never washed and demote them them to sill clothes and wiping up spills.

I am wfp and use cloths for the odd inside clean.

Got some micro fibre clothes for an inside connie roof worked well and like micro fibres.

Anyone banned from the washing machine for scrims and micro.

All i can think of is try to wash'em in a bucket or down to the laundrett.

Not got room for another washing machine.

Maybe a new wife ;)

Any ideas thanks.

Point out that the money you earn with the cloths is what paid for the washing machine so you're going to use it.

You need to wash them in the machine.

Or buy new ones - from the shopping budget.

I used to ive with a woman like that.  She liked the money but I wasn't I supposed to take up any space.  I left the old bat (not just over washing machine rights I hasten to add).

I see only two options here.


1. Don't wash them! When they get dirty just buy new ones.

2. Grow a pair.

Washing dirty scrim in a decent modern washing machine should leave no reason for hygiene worries I shouldn't think? Just wash on the hottest wash possible, no soap powder needed as the dirty scrim will already be saturated in soap (detergent) and as well as the dirt it's the detergent your trying to get rid of to make them decent detailing cloths (scrim)

The scrim I wash on a hot wash comes out spotlessly clean and the washing machine drum is also spotless after taking them out. You could always pour some disinfectant into the drum prior to starting the wash.

Blast them with a hose to get all soap out then a quick spin in the machine.

Do it when she is not home, or better get the lass next door to do it. Even better her sister or best friend.

Sneak downstairs in the middle of the night and put them in the machine while she is asleep. Or tell her you are the man of the house and what you say goes.

my x used to be like that

she moaned that i use to wash them separate from clothes.I told her its because i just can't use softener on them because it ruins them.
every time i put them in the machine by themselves i see a little look on her face.
still did it though sod em mate just put the damn things in there.

let the cow moan lol.

All you need to do is put the machine on a quick rinse cycle with nothing in it AFTER you've washed your cloths. This will prevent the next load of clothes getting covered in fibres on the next wash. ;)

Sneak down stairs in the middle of the night and put them in the machine with her best lingerie while she is asleep. Or tell her you are the man of the house and what you say goes  Wink

Will you let her read this thread to see what she thinks about it?  Grin

I come home six nights a week with at least two full loads of towels, microfibres and a couple of scrims, they need doing for the next morning or I can't earn the days money. My family know this so they always get done by one of us, that's just how we roll.

Shallow grave in his back garden covered in clean microfibre cloths ;D

Mick Kent.

That's cheap where do you get your micro fibres from?

Thanks everyone.
Must  admit micro's and scrims do look manky and not mad on using the washing machine for the same thing we wash our clothes in but would coz im lazy. :D

Not all micro fibres are made equal. I know alot of people use the crap fluffy ones from asda etc which i would not touch with a barge pole. flat weave only for me.

I remember a bloke on here who claimed to have a washer/dryer for scrims in the back of his van.
He was trad and employed, I think. A few-including myself- thought he was joking but he said not.
I can't remember much more but I'm sure it was on here.

Learn to use the washing machine and clean them when she is out or at work.
