Caring for lambswool mitts
I think I may have ruined mine, as I've been caring for it the same way I cared for my MF mitt, without really thinking about it.
But today when I dragged it out for Clara's thorough exterior detail (I don't know why, but I have to be in the right mood to do the interior, and today I just was not), I noticed the inside "hide" part is really stiff and sort of crackly feeling. It softened up after being in the water but it just didn't seem right. Also, the fibers are all matted up.
So what SHOULD I be doing with my mitt after I use it? I'll probably go get a new one this week.
Note: New trick - wear latex/poly gloves inside your mitt. It was relatively cold out today (low 60s) and the wash water was freeeeeeeezing. I have a cut on each thumb on both hands (don't ask LOL) and wanted to wear them to keep anything from burning the wounds and this worked really well to keep them from being as cold as well!
