Hi,



Ok, hope I`m not alone on this ... after a hand-wash, especially a quick one, I don`t have enough dirty MF`s to justify doing a full wash cycle. Well, to be honest it really gets on wife`s nerves :o . Also, can`t wash these with other fabrics, as its bad for the MF, at least thats what I`ve been told.



So, I hate hand washing because I can`t get them 100% clean sometimes, and after all the hard work of detailing, this is the last and most boring step. I`m thinking perhaps there is a quality mini washing machine out there that can be dedicated for very small loads?

Might want to read some reviews though.

I have pondered this idea before because I feel the same way about you when it comes to washing dirty MFs. I found alternatives, but never ordered them.

Talk your wife into getting a front load washer and possibly dryer. They do not fill with water so it`s not as wasteful especially with smaller loads. On the other hand you can fit a bunch of stuff in there when it is time for the family`s laundry.



It would be a win win situation for both of you and it is fun to watch the MF towels spin around, and around, and around... I`m sure you get the picture :o

Does your washer have a water level setting? I just turn mine down to Ex. Small - works perfectly for a handful of MF`s..

Thanks for all replies,



The laundry-alternative link looks interesting, as well as some of the electrical-powered ones.



I can try to convince my wife about a front-loading washer ... but, would be a tough sell, the machines we have now are about year old and she is happy with them



If I do purchase a unit, will post a review ..



I like the idea of the mini electrical powered ones, would let me tidy up other things while its doing its work

Rofl! :funnypost



That was off the wall. But it sure does solve the problem.



I just bought 50 more MF`s from Sams Club over the weekend... I`ll be loading it today.

I just got 63 new towels from Pakshak last week :woot2: I have 3 25 gallon tubs for towels, and another soft sided bag for my crappy MF`s. I can do enough cars to have my wife do a couple loads without running out :grinno:

I guess the thing for me is buying towels from PakShak is like a special event. It`s a luxury or an investment.



Buying MF`s from samsclub is like buying napkins. lol. Pack of 25 for $12.64. Best cheap MF`s I`ve ever found.
