Just wondering what you guys use for washing out used waxing rags. Wax always seems pretty tough to get out of rags but sure there must be something good out there to do this. Thanks

 

I just run my terry cloth ones thru the wash as usual and dry. I only wash the microfiber ones and hang them to dry. If you machine dry them they will get hard and shrink.

 

I do the same....but don't use faric softener (downy, etc.)

 

While I do dry mine on low most of the time (because we use dryer *****)......heat will notbother MF..very cheap ones may curl around the edges and you may get some static ( that will go away). The temp max for MF is somewhere around 500 degrees.
The heat myth came from people getting the cheapest mf sewn with polyester around the edges.
We have well over 250 types of MF in the shop and the heat from washing (sometimes we boil them) or from drying is not a factor.

If you are using rags..ie swirl applicators, then switch to MF.
To wash use 75% of you normal detergent ( something like Tide Free)..no scent, no fabric softner..just plain detergent. Add one cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle to add in remove soap residue.
