Any tricks on cleaning sealer out of bonnets?

[tmiklethun]

Just washing them with normal detergent doesnt seem to do the job.

Thanks

Will that damage my washer? Thanks.

I have no idea. I soak my in a bucket of stripper and hot water then rinse them out in the laundry sink. I rinse until I see no more sealer coming out. wring them out and hang them to dry.

I wash my bonnets with extreme clean and osr. Not sure it will remove sealer but it cleans them up real nice.

We clean our seal and finish mops by soaking overnight in tub of water, squeeze out then into washing machine with scoop of laundry powder and a scoop of sodium carbonate

Yeah, the main thing is to NOT let them dry.

I take mine to the car wash and blast them first and the go to a laundromat and wash them in a high capacity machine that uses lots of water. The last time I cleaned a batch I used about 4 to 6 oz. of Flex with citrus as my detergent and they came out beautiful. Mine didn't have sealer on them but they had been used to clean up after a previous cleaners Encap that seemed to be like a plastic after it was on my pads.
