    Default Washing used rags

    I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question, but here goes.
    I have a limited supply of soft, lint free white cloth that I use for applying EEE and Shellawax Glow and my supplies are running low . Is it possible to wash the used rags and if so what is the best washing powder and do the rags need to be soaked before washing.
    To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional

    Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.

    What could possibly go wrong.

    Soak them in Napi-San then chuck them in the washing machine.
    Works a treat.

    maybe with other work clothes. Not the best undies.

    I over heard a bloke once in kmart telling his wife she had to get new undies cos the other ones were wearing out. When I grinned at her she had to explain he was a wood worker not a cross dresser.
