I have screwed a few applicators by washing to hot, do not use any powder or softener imo, and defo never put a micro on 100d it will kill it.

normal wash 40/50 once a week they last for years

But your applicator is soaked in detergent every day - what's the difference?

Why wash them?

because they look really bad after a while, also the cleaning action goes down when now clean, reason I say no need to detergent is because they already have that all over them.

I just chuck them in the washing machine (well the wife does )
with the scrim.

No detergent or softener there is enough in them anyway from being used.

Just wash them outside under a tap in the garden.. I wash scrim and micro's in the washing machine no powder or softener, on the highest temp. I personally wouldn't bother putting applicator jackets in a washing machine, washing them out under a tap seems to do just fine.

The unger monsoon jacket is very good by the way. wouldn't use any other.
