Sheepskin mit cleaning

[astrob0y]

Hey, i bought my sheepskin mit from here a while ago and it's been working great, but i have one question.. How do you guys clean it? I've been just spraying it after use wring it and let it air dry but it's been leaving a mildew smell on the mit and it's awful.

I have a lambswool, and I rinse mine, wring it out, smack it against a wall to fluff it out, and hang it to dry in my shop, and no problems here..
what are you spraying yours with?

Astro..when I am done with a wool mitt...I rinse it clean in a bucket of clean water then on my hand..spray with a hose on both sides....real good...to get any grit that may be trapped in it...and then pull down on it to squeegee any water out and hang to dry outside...drys nice and fluffy and no smell

i just spray it with the hose and let it air dry, it wasn't smelly before but i just started to notice it now.

Sheepskin mitts tend to smell bad....the only way around it that I've found is to rinse really good, shake it really good, then tumble dry. Anytime I let mine hang dry, the smell is terrible.

Yeah, i'll probably try that.. Is there any soap you recommend to wash it with?

I wash mine with my microfiber towels using Charlies Soap or the Pinnacle MF Rejuvenator...then dry them in the dryer.
