Removing the Starch New dishcloths have starch on them. Wash them in lukewarm water to remove the starch before use. The more you use them, the softer they become, and their absorbency improves. 2. Washing Hand washing with a neutral kitchen detergent is recommended. If using a washing machine, use a net and wash gently with a liquid detergent that does not contain fluorescent whitening agents. 3. Boiling and Bleaching For stains that don't come out with washing, special care such as boiling or bleaching is needed. ● Boiling Add a little salt and vinegar to the water, bring to a boil, and then boil the dishcloth for about 5 minutes. ● Bleaching Chlorine bleach can be used.
