Product Description
The Chenille Microfiber Premium Scratch Free Wash Mitt is made of thick microfiber strands that are woven into Big Fat Plump, caterpillar strands that are extremely absorbent to wash soaps and shampoo and non-abrasive to paint and finishes. The chubby spun strands hold loads of soapy water delivering a premium wash that lubricate the paint, reducing friction and enhancing paint. This mitt is easy to wash using your favorite detergent. Toss them right into the washing machine for easy care. Just be sure to wash them separately, to keep them lint free. As with all microfiber products, never expose them to fabric softener. Fabric softener will reduce their static properties and cause the microfiber to clean/spread less effectively. They can be line dried or machine dried on low setting, again, separately from other laundry.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I've been living here for 35 years now and have tried just about everything that might make this problem simpler to deal with. My first discovery to improve the process was to use 3D Bug Remover diluted in WARM water. The combination of the two is the best way that I've found yet to deal with this problem. And the second part of the solution was to buy this Chemical Guys Chenille Microfiber Mitt.
Unlike other gloves/mitts I've tried over the years, this one stays on your hand because there's no slippery plastic inside. It fits my hand well and never gets close to slipping off. The fibers are plump and soft, eliminating the problem of scratching your paint , and yet provide enough gentle abrasion to remove the targeted bugs and tar.
The keys to being successful without damaging your paint is to use lots of clean water, never drop your mitt on the ground, and rinse the mitt thoroughly and frequently. There's no sense in using it to continue cleaning if you don't get the crap out of it that you've already scrubbed off your vehicle. When I'm finished with cleaning the cars, I just rinse the mitt out and stick it on top of a broom handle to dry in the breeze. It is machine washable but all items cleaned in today's washing machines tend to give up the ghost with continued washings. So consider doing it by hand and extending the usefulness of this little bugger. Highly recommend.
Pros:
- Extremely soft microfiber. I've used a lot of different microfiber products and I was surprised how soft this mitt was, even after several washes
- The inner liner in mine was excellent. It absorbs a lot and as you wash, a gentle squeeze will release more suds than the actual yellow fibers. Awesome!
- Elastic on the mitt held my hand well and securely.
- Cheap!
Cons:
- I do question the durability, given some other reviews. Perhaps mine will go downhill as others. Wait and see. Looking closely at the fibers, I do wonder how long it will be until they unravel or get damaged.
- The softness is somewhat concerning. I do believe I'll have to be taking extra care of this mitt. Not sure I'd feel comfortable just tossing it in the washing machine on a normal cycle.
Overall, I'm pleased. Quality control issues might be a concern for some, but for under $10, I think it's well worth the risk.
Pros:
It can be multi-used. Can be used inside of the house and the car. But I would recommend buying this again. Perfect use. It’s large, holds a good amount of water/soup. Cleans well and easy. Covers more area in washing the car. It’s soft.
Cons
Take a long time to dry the sponge. I’m not sure if I can put this is the washer or dryer.
Edit: I ended up buying even more of these so I could wash two cars in one afternoon, and 2+ years later they are just great. I've used them and washed them many times in the machine and put them through the dryer and somehow they still look new, just as brightly colored as the picture even though I've used them to clean some filthy cars from time to time. They don't lose their little "fingers" or leave behind lint, the cuff is still stretchy and in great shape without loose threads, they still hold lots of water and soap and pick up lots of dirt and whisk it away safely.
Edit: hard to believe it’s been 8 years and these are still in fantastic shape.

The inside of the mitt constantly pops out but I don’t put my hand inside.
I like it, works well.
