Sheepskin wash mitt grooming? (dog owners help)

[shaf]

Anyone who's used a sheepskin or lambswool wash mitt will know about this. You buy a brand new mitt, it's luxuriously soft and furry, like a nice fur coat. Once you snap out of it and stop feeling up the fur D) you just use it once and then the wool gets all matted down and clumped together in little bundles. A few weeks ago I convinced a friend to finally use his, and he screamed, "You ruined it!!!" He was kidding of course, but I hated seeing it too.



I've seen various brushes for dog grooming and a little lightbulb went on in my head. I'd like to try to brush the smoothness back into my washmitt! Now the question is, do I use a slicker brush with all those fine metal bristles? Or do I use a um... grooming comb (?)... the one with the single row of round teeth?



Yes, I am crazy.

When I started car detailing 2 yrs ago, I went to Macy's and got good quality cotton 100% bath towels..couple of months later, I was shopping around local auto shops to look for any good deals (I think this is normal).. but since I joined autopia, I go to many other stores to get the products for my car. Foodmarket to get vinegar, Dollar shop to get MF towels..Tomorrow I think I need to go to one of Pet-shop to get cat brush..



Is there any cure for autopian disease? I think I just infected my GF, she also enjoys hanging around here.

LOL, I find that whenever I go to any store with the wife, I am constantly looking at the most abstract items and asking myself "How can I apply this technology towards Automobile Detailing?"

4DSC,



I have not had this problem. I wash my sheep skin mitt in the washer with the drying towels. I turn it inside out to dry, then flip it right side again for the last few minutes of tumble. I get about a year out of a mitt. I know the washer is hard on the mitt, but I like it nice and fluffy.

LOL, I didn't expect THIS crazy thread to be resurrected! Yeah I always find I'm doing that too Nag.



Incidentally I picked up a medium grade dog comb a while ago... it was cheap and I was bored. I haven't used it yet though.
