Title: Applicator Sleeves
Post by: S_RICHARDSON on December 11, 2006, 06:34:53 pm: Hi! How often do you wash your applicator sleeves might I ask?

I had a new one about 2 month ago and still have'nt washed it does it make much difference??

What do you do??

Post by: [GQC] Tim on December 12, 2006, 12:39:03 pm: I wash it once in 2 months or so, I have a micro sleeve from Unger, and they don't seem to get really dirty. Just give it a good scrub with your hands after you've finished and wring it out.

At the other hand, I use an abrasive pad scrubber/applicator for first cleans, and that one does get dirty real quick, the plush side is white, that is seriously stupid lol.
