Hi Samm,
I think that the only way is to put them in a boil wash and then wear them in like normal.

I buy pre-washed and leave it till all my other scrim is wet and start using it then, that way it is worked in slowly

I have already boil washed when I first got them, but like u all know the're not too absorbant & leaves strands till after about month of use, spose its just 1 of those things we have to live with Sad

cheers all
