Default Used wax products. What to do?

I have 4 or 5 used polishing bonnets and a pile of polishing cloths.

How do I make them usable again, or can I? thanks!!

put them in pillow case and run them thru the washer on the hot water cycle. The run washer empty on hot water cycle to clean washer. Dry them in the pillow case as you washed them.

i just throw them in the wash, hot cycle with two rinse cycles. this is was a side load washing machine.

if you have a top load, i would soak them in hot water and dawn and just hand wash them

yeah if they are microfiber towels dont use softener it will ruin them. hot water by themselves only should clean them out just fine.

a nice write-up to get some understanding from for ya:

Oh very nice. Thanks for the info fellas

I may try the pillowcase trick if I can find an old pillow case.

I washed the micro fiber towels on warm and didn't use any softener and they turned out fine. Now to decide what to do with these polishing cloths.

Hand washing would be the safe bet, but who wants to do that. I'll just take them to my parents' house and blame it on my dad when he is washing the boat.
