Used 7 microbeasts on a dirty restaurant. This is what the wash water looked like:

This is 1/2 a days residential, there's no doubt they absorb a lot of crud.

Where does the dirt go? Lol

[encapman]

Eeeks! That water is dirty!

[JuddBowers]

I need to be better at taking pics. I'm terrible at it. I've had plenty of machine loads like that, some even dirtier.

Did you add detergent? I rarely do, except when they are that bad. I
wash them in hot water, then I wash them again with a bit of detergent.

I always dry mine also, on the low setting.

[ebarnett]

Yes I do add detergent, but no bleach or fabric softener, When they are bad Ill use the pre soak setting and then double rinse. But I don't dry mine.

[JuddBowers]

I didn't use to dry them, but after some large commercial jobs when I'm washing a lot of them, the ones on the bottom of the stack smelled mildewey. (is that a word?)

I don't use heat, because I figured that would damage them.

[David-Hebert]

I blast them off with the hose or power washer then in washing machine
