What if I just machine launder these with my regular towels and washcloths (rather than using a separate laundering bag)?

I have done this and when they go into the dryer they become very clingy and stick to other fabrics when they are put in the dryer. Also, company said not to use fabric softener and dryer sheets that will coat these delicate threads in the cloth thus diminishing the property of attraction. Not totally sure of what you are looking for. Kim

I have laundered the rags in a regular wash, sans separate laundering bag since I bought them.

These are Micro fiber which collects lint from towels like crazy and it's very hard to get it out of them. You don't have to wash them in the laundering bag, I throw mine in the wash with things that don't shed a lot of lint, like my poly and nylon lingerie.

They're cloth, almost like tshirt material so if you really wanted to, you could run then through the washing machine and try to use them again. I have not done that just because it takes so long to get enough to add to the wash and to have to keep them around until you're ready to wash them. If you're buying for a gift, I would go with regular cheapy trusted patches. If you are OK with holding on to dirty patches until you are ready to wash them and are OK with the extra work, buy these. They're no better than regular patches though besides the fact that they can be washed.

I think that would work, the towels are like thin cloths and are strong and flexible. Attaching one to a mop, like the kind that has holes in the back, is a good idea. They seem rather pricey at first but do last a long time and are machine washable.(if not too grubby).

I don't think so , they will be out of the liquid that complement the action of the towels. So if you use it after washing it, you should not expect it to do the same job.

I don't know why you'd want to wash & reuse the cloths. They're really small (about 3" square) - enough to do the job. If you want microfiber cloths, You can buy them anywhere.

Although I have not done so myself, they do appear to be of sturdy enough construction to do so. I have simply wiped mine clean with a damp cloth but if they ever require a deeper cleaning, I would not hesitate to put them in the washing machine.

They do become more absorbent once you wash and dry them in machines, however, I do think you can just hose them down as you suggested. They just won't be as absorbent.

Separate from regular wash - avoid fabric softener, etc... [I do wash with microfiber towels.]

I have not washed them, but if I were to, I'd put them in a mesh bag (lingerie bag) and wash them cold/cold on gentle or handwash cycle with very little detergent and lay them flat to dry.

I just wash them same as my regular towels. See no difference in the results.

I think if they become dirty you might be able to wash them, but I do not think their intended purpose is to provide fabric softening in a washer. They are balls of wool that bounce around in the dryer to keep the clothes separated. I'm not sure how useful they would be in a washer.

I can see no reason that you couldn't hand wash them. But I cannot think of the other laundry I would wash them with.

The cloths just get thrown in with regular washing in the washing machine. Any setting you want. They come out beautifully. The boiling water is totally unnecessary. I asked Ecloth the same question and received that answer.

I haven't had to wash mine yet, but I would think it would be a good idea to place them in a zippered net bag to contain them while they are in the washer and dryer.

I do not see why you would need to since they are made of nylon netting, like the type used in shower puffs. You rinse and hang them to air dry in shower after each use. I suppose you could put them in a wash bag then put them in a washing machine, but not in the dryer! They will melt.

I don't know what you are supposed to do but I put them in a laundry bag in put them in the washing machine on cold. My washing machine doesn't have an agitator. They were pretty much dry after the spin cycle.

I haven't tried to wash them yet but plan to put them in a mesh bag that I use for lingerie. My guess is that you could put them in loose on a gentle cycle for just a few minutes.
