I bought some of those red shop rags. I know that the suppliers to shops wash and reuse them, but everytime I try to wash them they come out looking dirty. Anyone know a good way to clean them? Bob

Throw them away and buy new ones, or buy another washer/dryer just for the rags. DON'T put then in the same washing machine you use for your clothes. I tried that once. Fotunately, I was single at t

What's wrong with stained shop rags? It's better than keeping stray cats to wipe your hands on. Best way I found to wash them is take them to the Laundromat and use Dawn dishwashing liquid and Simple

I have a bucket full of soapy water by the door. When I leave the shop I toss the dirty rags in. Every few months the collected rags get washed; I don't use many, mostly paper towels. A friend's sho

Hmm, I agree that there shouldn't be a problem, in fact my wife washes them for me in her washer. Maybe these other guys haven't heard about soap yet. Jim V.

A friend's shop and house both burned down from what the fire department said was an exothermal reaction from a pile of dirty shop rags; I've been kind of paranoid ever since. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
