I have the Wool mitt, it still looks brand new after over a years washing. First one lasted a year and started to break up. The trick is to not let it dry out like I was doing by hanging it out to dry after every wash with the glove part going brick hard.

Just give it a good rinse out under cold water and put it back in the clean empty Bucket on top of the grit guard. Put a top on it and it’s ready and soft for next use. I presume the Microfiber Mitt does much the same job of keeping any dirt away from the paint.

Good luck with it, its worth it just to see the Neighbours think you've lost the plot.

After about five Min's on my wee Coop the other day.
