Beside the obvious answer...How do prevent/get all the stuff that seems to find its way onto the mf towels off? Anyone else have this kinda problem? Its almost like velcro.
 
Scott is more industrious than i am. (that is a compliment). :-)



i do have one of those 3 drawer plastic cabinet/containers (from Wal-Mart, Target, etc). I have the MF's divided up by source and type in each drawer. this keeps them clean, i think, with easy access. i have a bigger plastic container (pull off lid on top) with all the applicators, WW's, drying towels, mitts, and so on. the top lightly latches on, keeping it pretty air tight and clean. works pretty well, IMHO.
 
I can't tell: Are you talking about how to avoid getting the stuff in the MF in the first place? or how to remove what does get in? I'll just give me $.02: When I first started using MFs, this drove me crazy. One of the best tips I got: "brush" the MF with a flea comb before washing. Sure 'nuf, that does get most of the leaf/grass/whatever debris out of the MF. Now, if debris gets into the MF that I can't remove, that towel goes to tires or other dirty-work.
 
My clean ones are all stored in a sealed Rubber Maid tub. The dirty ones be it wax removal or door edge cleaning go in a 13L pail ( Dishwash soap pail ) with a lid awaiting sufficient amount to wash.



Soiled ones that are wet are hung on a line in my shop to dry before they hit the pail.



My drying towels I use for *my* car body are seldom dirty and they get hung to dry in the shop then into a sealed container.



My intent is to get the 3 drawer cabinet .. but thats down the road.



To keep stuff out of them I make sure they don't hit the ground and if the area to ckean is that badly soiled I use a terry shop towel first.
