Boil it wash it a hundred times it still leaves flek? finding micrfibres better until damp, im buying grade A pre washed..
also i have a jewelers on a 3 week clean he wants the insides done now i do a lot of inside of shops, but this has to be class he want glass counters and display units any expert ideas out there?

just use the microfibres mate.i bought 10 large unger microfibre cloths and their excellent.

ive only got 1 scrim left and when thats well worn i think i wont bother with em anymore!!

sounds like you arent using it enough.   it takes a while to get rid of the flecks ,use it for wiping sills and what not ,polishing up your van sills is another thing i do to get the scrim up to the mark.

iv about 50/60 scrims spread over 4 workers these are used for allsorts . reminds me i must order another lot as some are getting thin

yeah your right im part time for 6 months so use is smaller than yours, but do you use micro fibres?

I used scrim for years and I mean years even when everyone else went over to microfibre.
Once I gave the microfibre a real chance I was converted and I will never go back to scrim.

i agree microfibres are the future

I never used to like microfibres for squeegee work, you can't beat a worn in scrum, but I bought some paragon fish scale microfibres and thay are by far the best microfiber out there and are great for detailing trad work

Try and wash without fabric softener too....and if you can get hold of them grade 3 scrims work better for me, they have a coarser weave and are not so 'fluffy', dont see them about so much now

EDIT....just found some grade 2

How do you dry them ,dont tumble dry

Really,have been tumble drying mine for the last four years. Are they not supposed to be tumble dried then?? 
I found them to be stiff as a board if not,dont use washing powder or fabric conditioner though.

No do not tunble dry and no comfort and when in full use just rinse.
They are always hard to use when new but soften over time, they get better to use over time. Microfibre are great to start and carry on being great.
Take the leap

i havent tried micro fibres apart from a couple of freebies that were small so no good   .what i like about scrim is that its a little bit rough, it is also good at polishing frames and door plastic .
