The Dodo Juice Tribble Mitt is a classic sheepskin wash mitt, with a thumb design for those harder-to-reach areas, and no nasty mesh backing anywhere to be seen! What's good for removing flies can also be good at marring paint… so that was unspecified immediately. What was specified, however, was soft wool on a 100% natural hide backing and an elasticated cuff to make it easier to handle. Please note that unlike cheaper mitts with wool glued to a synthetic backing, these mitts are totally natural and will moult or disintegrate if they get overdry (through tumble drying or underuse).
