Pre washing

Hi all just after a bit of feedback. I'v been using the google search and interested in doing a prewash next batch as it seems to shorten the washcycle. The posts seemed a bit old so I thought I would just ask what other members are doing these days? Also how are members mist washing I use a garden sprayer and stand there for 30 mins just spraying 7 Litres hoping to make it more automated next time.Thanks for your future replys they are really helpful.

Re: Pre washing

I've found Oily's gypsum wash is pretty good.

Circumvents the whole tedious process and has no water involved.

Re: Pre washing

I'm still prewashing then doing about 3-4 mist washes, followed by a bubble dry.

If I don't do a prewash it takes more mist washes to achieve the same result.
