Washing Rags

Re: Washing Rags

Ever so often(Ive only done this once), I will take a huge pot full of boiling water and around a 1/2cup of vinegar in it. I will boil the towels a few min then throw them in the washer on rinse. That seems to clean them out really good and gets all the old wax outta them.

I have heard about that but never done it. Maybe I will have to try it. I don't know if I can stand the vinegar smell though.

Re: Washing Rags

This thread hits close to home

I ran a kitchen for 9 years while i was in college. I would not allow any employee to call our towels rags. The ones that did got a butt chewin from me and then i demoted them to dish washing and changeing trash for the rest of their shift. The reason i was like that and took it seriously was becuase i wanted to instill into their minds that my kitchen must be treated as a surgical operating room. Until an employee got that they had no place on my line.

This same thinking carried over to my detailing. As long as your in my garage or on a job with me the last thing you want to do is call my towels is rags.


On to your regularly scheduled thread

haha, i did it outside on the side burner of our grill. Its hooked up to natural gas, so I dont need to worry about using all the propane.
