So, my wife managed to drive through some tar this week. I got it all off the car when I washed it today. However, in my anger, frustration, the heat of houston, etc. I wasn't completely thinking and used my meguir wash mits. Now 3 of them are completely black with tar.

Am I good to throw these in the washing machine? Are they just trash? Any other ways to get the tar out?

What I figured. Just making sure

Solvents that would remove tar are pretty harsh to many synthetic fibers.

Chunk them and get these:

Chemical Guys MIC_493 Chenille Microfiber Premium Scratch-Free Wash Mitt

These are pretty much all I use now, rinseless or traditional.

For future issues like this, pick up a pack of these cheezy towels at Home Depot or Walmart:

14 in. x 14 in. Microfiber Towels (24-Pack)

They are about 34 cents a piece and while they aren't what you want to dry your car off with regularly, using them to get gunk like this off and tossing them isn't a problem. I now buy these instead of the disposable shop towels.

Soak in kerosene. It is what I use to get asphalt bitumen out of my clothes and off of my equipment. It's not harsh and works.

Spray and Wash will get the tar off.
