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.

Thats another reason why I need to get a microwave!! I will try that one when I finally get one.

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.

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.
