Anyone have any tips for removing dirt and grease that gets absorbed into this strongly absorbent towel along the way? Washer wouldn't do it :(

First thing is to make sure to remove all the dirt and grease while washing the car, as thin as this towel is anything on the car will be dragged across the surface causing swirls and scratches. Once this towel absorbs oil or grease washing in hot water even with detergent may not get it out.Possibly try soaking in a degreaser before you wash it or add a degreaser to the washing cycle.

Honestly- it's taken QUITE a lonnnng time for the ABSORBER to become supple and smooth.....there are other chamois towels that is suggest for skin. Not to mention even now after a almost a year it's still 'rubbery' when wet!

I use a powdered soap like Ajax or Comet. Heat the pan in hot soap water, pull it out and scrub. If that doesn't work try over cleaner outside.

Hey there!,Unfortunately not. We suggest light soapy sponge to remove stains or dirt.Thanks!,Anthony at Joovy

I use mat wipes on mine. I'm sure you can sponge it with soap and water. No washing machine!

I would try a soft bristled brush like a dish scrubber. The instructions say no machine wash but nothing about dry-cleaning, you could always ask your dry cleaner and see what they say. Our local cleaners is always very helpful and won't take anything they don't feel comfortable with returning in a useable state.

I just wipe it down with a wet paper towel occasionally. That seems to work pretty well :-)

I would not go to that much mess. I would not go to that much mess. Dig the old grease out with a narrow blade, take soft absorbent cloth and a screw driver and wipe the excess out and don't worry about some being left behind. It is not contaminated grease.

Well, it is going to get a bit dirty in the kitchen! My husband fills it with flour while making Christmas cookies. We just toss it in the wash with all the other towels. Cleans up great! It is durable.

I wipe it down with simple green to remove the grease that spills on the mat. Hope this is helpful.

No, I'm sorry I can not help. As a matter of fact, I am having the same problem. I have tried various cleaners without any luck. Finally, I just stopped scrubbing on it. I basically just gave up. Any suggestions from others would be greatly appreciated.

We just use upholstry cleaner like Woolight fabric cleaner from walmart, just spray on a damp rag and wipe. Works great, easy to clean.

damp cloth is always the safe bet.. just don't get it too wet. Mine's never gotten dirty though so I haven't needed to clean it

I washed it in our front-loading washer and then into the dryer and it came out fluffy, with absolutely no problems. Maybe some people talked about dry cleaning because their washer/dryer can't handle large loads?

Try to use some alcohol prep pad and scrub off the dirt and grime. That is the only way I can think of.

When you run your fingers the opposite direction, you get the lint off. Other than that, I imagine wiping it down with a cold washrag would get rid of any residual dust.

Hmmm I haven't notice that to be a problem. I don't really soak it or run it through the dishwasher. I just get a soapy dishrag and wash it and rinse it right away.
