I've got some Unger microfibres and some grade A scrims, I prefer the scrims. Occasionally just dry them (if they are particularly clean) but I seem to have a lot of windows on my round that have perished rubber gaskets which ooze their blackness and filth up my scrims.

 
My wife has a cleaning company separate from my window cleaning so we have an old washing machne in garage for cloths. When iv used a scrim and its dirty goes in a bag when I get a load I do the hottest wash no conditioners then dry no tumble dryer. Micro cold wash and dry no tumble dryer.

 
Thx guys that has just reminded me to 2 wash my cloths and undies have had these ones on since I started cleaning 7 year ago may need a scraper

Just turn them inside out and you're good for another 7. :thumbsup:

 
If u use more than 2 scrims or micros on a days tradding then need a better technique. I hardly detail at all. If I use 2 scrims that means I've prob dropped the first one in a puddle

 
Using the liquidator I don't have to detail much at all, so no need for me to use an absolute ton of micros. Mainly for wiping cills and frames down.

 
On an average day I use between 2 and 5 scrims these days. 2 in the summer months, and 5 on the colder damper days. Probably use about 5 sill cloths a day as I neverbother wringing out or rinsing, I just swap it out.

 
Whenever my scrim gets slightly damp I'm changing it straight away. On average I use 1 scrim on every 3 houses and do an average of 30 a day

 
Seriously guys, you've all obviously had too much time off and have just got lazy! You're doing a job which is EXTREMELY well paid and yet some on here begrudge actually washing dirty cloths! I'd hate to see the clothes you're wearing, underpants once a month I guess!!!
