I think the boiling water instructions are provided to kill any little nasty threats, like e-coli or salmonella you find typically in kitchens and bathrooms. This could be a smart yet time consuming process, especially if you use no chemicals in conjunction with these wipes to clean said areas in your home. Cross contamination could be a big concern if they are not laundered straight away or if one wipe is used to clean multiple areas. My washer has a very hot setting, ideal for this purpose. Most people use these without issue, hopefully. However IF my boys ever cleaned our kitchen or bathrooms, I've taught them to use paper towels and bleach.

We simply put them in the wash - washing machine - w all our normal towels. Nothing special.

I just chuck them in the washing machine with all my other laundry, they come out good as new.

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.

Use distilled vinegar--spray it on, let it dry and then wash it..or, put about 1/2 C to 1C in the steamer and stick it in the microwave for a few minutes--let it steam up, let it cool off and then wash it (this last method gets rid of stains too).

1st time, I refilled the pot and add some vinegar, then let it boiling, the poured water out. Vinegar can help to clean/descale. I used this: http://www.amazon.com/Zojirushi-ADC-05-Electric-Dispensing-Cleaner/dp/B000GFJ9W4/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1419377760&sr=8-10&keywords=citric+acid+clean to clean another pot, it cleans very good.

It is good to get them going in hot/warm water to speed the release of soap but not absolutely necessary. For a very large or dirty load I usually soak them in hot water a bit before I add them. Some times I'll just stick them in the washer let it run a little warm water and then put the clothes in before I turn it on cold and start it so they had a minute to warm up. But actually I went a year just throwing them in the cold water load directly, I guess I just started heating them when I read something suggesting it but they always worked fine before and lasted longer. I try to make a concentrate sometimes but then I use way more than I need too and waste it because it seems weird to only need a spoonful :) do keep in mind if you get stains you will need spot cleaner, these do general cleaning well but stains need a little extra effort.

To remove burned-on food, fill the pan with enough warm, soapy water to cover the mess and let it sit for an hour. Then put the pan back on the burner and boil the soapy water for 10 to 15 minutes. Let the water cool to the touch, then scrub with a nylon scouring pad. Wash out again with hot, soapy water, rinse and dry. Repeat for stubborn residue. Use a non-abrasive cleanser like Bon Ami Polishing Cleanser or Bar Keepers Friend for general cleaning, stain removal and keeping the cookware shiny as new. Don't use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners. Although they do an excellent job of removing stuck-on food, all stainless steel cookware makers caution that they will scratch the surface of the cookware. Instead, opt for nylon-net scouring pads, plastic or nylon brushes.

I read up on one of the websites on how to make homemade vanilla extract and they had instructions on cleaning the bottles thoroughly before using. I think I filled them up with water and .....(I'm not sure if there was vinegar called for as well) and microwaved them to boiling for a certain amount of time.

We get grape juice stains on the white table cloths at church all the time. The best way to get them out is to use boiling water directly on the stain. It is helpful to do it before the laundered item has gone through the washer and dryer, but I would suggest trying it anyway. Boiling water will remove all berry stains too from anything that can be washed. I just pour it directly on the stain until it is gone. It is amazing!

I only use hot water to dampen the cloth rather than chemicals, but uou could also use a wood floor cleaner that you would spray on the cloth to dampen it if you'd like.

Normal dish washing detergent and water will do fine. Rinse it good and it will look good as new. Wipe it down daily if it sits near the stove during other cooking, especially with items that spatter. Best investment ever for a tea kettle.

Soft cloth, warm soap and water. Do NOT use soap on the cube. Clean it separately.

Mystic Maid cloths work GREAT on SS appliances! If there are serious greasy splatters, like on a stovetop, first remove grease with a disposable cleaning product, like Windex and a paper towel. Then go over the whole surface with your water moistened, firmly wrung out Mistic Maid cloth and there will be no streaks. It is terrific for general use on all kitchen surfaces. Just be sure to keep it clean but never use it for cleaning with a soap product. If you choose to throw it in your cloths washer, do not use any type of fabric softener. It will catch the oil in the softener and transfer it to your clean surfaces. Try it for windows....the best! Mystic Maid cloths work GREAT on SS appliances!

Sure, probably boiling them would do it, also washing really well with hot soapy water and a pipe cleaner would do it.

try to clean well with sponge and put destilled water with one spoon vinegar and left boil for 10 mts, later remove the water and when used never put tub water in your steemer, use destilled water

I used cold water. Cleaning is done by pressure, so I don't think you will need hot water.
