wash mitts

I do. Only the ones that touch the body though. I have one I use for underneath the fenders, bumpers, and wheel wells, but I usually just hose that one out.
 
I toss them in with the wash. The fabric softener will get washed out when it hits the next bucket of suds so I'm not sweating that.

I don't think the sheep skin mitts will do very good in the wash. Like others I just rinse them out with the hose from inside out. Then hang cuff side down.
 
whoops. I didn't notice the HOW in the post. I usually throw them in the wash after the second time using them. Otherwise, I rinse it in a bucket by spinning t in my hand, then shoot it out with the hose.
 
I rinse mine out with the bucket of shampoo then hose them off and let them hang dry until damp then toss them in the dryer on low heat.
I have had no luck turning them inside out two off my 3 mitts i did this with ripped between the thumb and mitt.
 
I have seen in care instructions the makers of sheepskin mitts advise not to use laundry detergents and drying in a dryer on heat as it will dry out the natural oils in the sheepskid and cause the wool to start falling out. I use woolite and dry on low heat only occasionaly. Most of the time I rinse and hang to dry.
 
Here is a copy and paste from sheepskin com about the care of sheepskin. They advise agianst using woolite also. I do because it is at least a little more gentle on the wool than laundry detergent. They make a shampoo just for cleaning the natural sheep skin and it is available at sheepskin com. See below or
go to sheepskin com and look at care instrutions.

For auto accessories:
When it's time to give them a deep cleaning, we recommend either hand or machine wash with our Sheepskin Shampoo. Then allow them to air dry. We do not recommend Woolite or laundry detergents. Finally, fluff up the wool with a wire brush.
