How often do you guys clean your applicators?

And how do you clean them? Is it ok to just chuck em in the washing machine with your dirty microfibres?

Cheers!

 
I just chuck em it sink with warm water or on a 40 degree cycle in washer both with no soap theres already enough on them.

And yeah I do em with microfibres.

 
I haven't washed my applicator in a couple of weeks to be honest.

It rarely gets done, and i use it mon-fri.

If it needs washing while I'm at work I slap a tap on full pressure and blast it then wring it dry and repeat and if I wash my cloths it may sometimes go in with them lol

 
wow, buy more app covers dude, you should be using a clean one at start of everyday, your applicator is what gets the dirt out and holds it, your in the cleaning business afterall. i work in australia where the houses are much bigger than the uk (average house i mean) i use a fresh applicator cover for every job, i have about 20 and chuck them in washing machine once a week or every few says, depending how many i've used, covers only cost abt 15 dollars each, so get stocked up...

Are you serious ? That's total overkill

 
$300 on applicators!!

I have about 6-7 applicators, 3 get used ( 1 each ) the others are just spare, and they only get washed once a week sometimes every other week!

 
i generally use one a day and chuck it in to the washing machine with the microfibres at the end of the day, for a 15 min wash. Its no hassle doing this.

 
Only have one, and wash it once a week,with my scrims and microfibe.

Put washermachine on rinse, as it has that much soap in it, it kinda washers the cloths to, then put it in a proper wash with a liquid tab.

 
I rinse any loose dirt out of mine at the end of each day, then I put it in the wash with the microfibre cloths at the end of the week.

I also have a few spares in case of emergencies.
