How would I go about cleaning the towels? What detergent to use.. Im just gonna put all the Terry Cloths all into the wash by itself, but what should I use for detergent..

I personally use Dawn, but any kind of detergant would work, as long as it just has detergant, no additives like bleach, or stain lifters, or color enhancer. And most people say just use the liquid only, the bars don`t dissolve all the way and seem to get stuck in the towels.

I use 1/2 scoop of tide detergent, 1 scoop of oxiclean, and about .5 ounces of simple green in my towel cycles. Always use warm-hot water, and after running one cycle with the detergents, run a second full cycle to be sure you rinsed everything out of the towels really well.



Also, be sure not to use any fabric softeners of any kind in the wash/dryer. :wavey

If the towels are really dirty and loaded with stuff I give it a fast hand wash in a bucket with dishsoap before throwing it in the washer. Also if these are MF towels, be careful drying it with heat, or dry it without heat at all to be safe (that`s what I do).
