Stained cloths and tea towels

My micro fibre cloths and tea towels are getting really dirty looking, even after a hot wash in the machine. Any tips for getting them like new again?

Put in a large glass bowl, add some bio washing powder and cover with boiling water. Then heat in microwave on full power for 4 minutes and leave soak. Wash as normal in next washing machine load and they come out sparkling.

Just soaked mine in a mix of washing powder and soda crystals in hot water for several hours, then washed in machine as normal and came up well, didn't microwave them.One day I might be more organised...........

Thank you
You can put them in a saucepan of hot water on the hob. Works just as well. Also used to do this for DD socks when she was younger and they had grass stains on. ~Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone.~:)
