the hottest wash on your machine, usually it's a 90 degree one. YOu could soak them in a solution of bleech and hot water as well before you wash them.......or maybe it's time they were rags and you treat yourself to new ones!

Bleach them. Or soak them in nappy soak overnight before washing them.

Make sure you hang them out in the sunshine to dry too.

I used to boil them in a pan of boiling water with a LITTLE handwashing powder.

Then found that soaking them in Milton after sterilising babies bottles kept them virtually pristine.

soak in sink filled with hot bleachy water.
