What's the best way to wash a scrim

[tom cronin]

Don't tumble dry, they go bitty/fluffy

[tony atkinson]

Same as when you are out at work hot in a bucket good old hand wash the a good wring out...

Well if you are meaning from new then I wash in the washer at 90c a couple of times (with detergent) then use as sill cloths for a 2-3 weeks to break in ( just wash along with other scrim now) No need for detergent as if used trad then they absorb enough detergent from the cills to come clean in the machine at 60-70c. That's buying the pre-washed scrim, non pre-washed take an age to break in. There is some new more absorbent blue microfibre out that's supposed to be a lot more absorbent than normal microfibre, it was reviewed very positively in the Window cleaning mag. Better than scrim apparently.

Many thanks for that. May have to look up these blue cloth's

We bought 10of those blue ones, we soon went back to good old fashioned scrims

If it is the grade A scrim, kick it round the garden a few times and machine wash a few times, should be more manageable now.
