How to clean e-cloths?

I have some glass e-cloths and general use e-cloths which desperately need a clean.
I kept the packaging for this purpose but DP was being helpful ond day and threw it out
help!

Bung in washing machine. Hot wash if very dirty and cool if not.
That's what I do anyway. No packaging here either.

I put mine the the machine too, on a 40 wash. I do recall that the packet tells you not to wash them though. I do know you definitly do not use fabric softner though I do but I'm a rebel [grinn]

Apparently you do put them in the machine. Yes I did just go and check the box Grin

If you use bold 2 in 1 you can wash the cloths with this, as you can towels and nappies, as it doesn't use a fabric conditioner which affects absorbency. Marvellous stuff.

Fab! That sounds lovely and easy - i had in my head that I had to boil them
i do love my e-cloths :-D

I have a large and much treasured collection. I wash them in the machine with teatowels once a week. This makes me happy.

Key thing with microfibre is to wash it with similar items, oterhwise you clogg fibres with lint. Ditto chemicals and abs no, no fabric conditionr.

What washing powder to you use (if any?)

I currently have a choice of Fairy non-bio or bold 2in1 tablets?

Strokes e-cloths and lovingly folds into neat little squares. Grin

Oh yeah, I wash mine in the WM on about 40.
