    Wash in the machine at 40 degrees, but wash on their own as the dye comes off!

    I wash them at 40 degrees, but not on their own, just bung them in with other coloured things (not whites). Never had a problem with them staining other things :)

    This won't help you wash the ones you've got now, but I use dishcloths for dusting and chuck them in the wash, becuase they're white they don't run! As I say sorry it doesn't help you now but I got sick of the colour running and now use dishcloths/white dusters :-)
