I think the one I have is synthetic, but I run it though the wash when I do my microfiber towels.

Try tossing it in the wash on warm. I wash mine after every other use, had it for a few years (car I use it on only gets washed a few times a year) still in great condition.

After I use my lambs wool wash mitt, I rinse it in the sink. In order to get the inside of it dry, I have taken to putting a plastic coat hanger in the cuff so that it holds the mitt open for air to get inside. That way, you end up with no moisture left to cause mold.

Hope this helps...

Hmm I've never had that problem. I rinse it out after use (of course) then wring it really well and put it on my Grit Guard. Seems to work fine for me. Part of the reason might be that the lambswool wash mitts I get don't seem to last any longer than 6 months anyways...by then the wool is coming out, or it's stained and just generally sad looking. I use mine pretty often, though.

thanks for the tips, i placed an old platic bottle in the cuff to keep it open and help it dry better,

If you still get mold when you place it on the bottle, try putting it on a stick (i.e. the end of the broomstick) so that more air can circulate inside the mitt.
