Washing machine...oops
I used to use them, they can be good, but it does take skill to use them.
Wash in clean water, I'm sure I used to use Dreft or something like that to hand wash them with.
And they only feel lovely and soft when nice and new!
When I first started I was using them to clean plate glass windows, and they were coming up almost flawless.
In use you need to rinse them regularly and wring the living bejesus out of them, you need to wring them so that they are only JUST damp.
I would use a damp scrim (on the wet side of damp) to wash the glass clean of dirt and muck, and with the glass still damp, but not running with water, use the chamois to buff dry.
But you can do all this with a wet and dry scrim just as well.....even better with a washer and squeegee
Once I had learned the squeegee technique I changed to using a mop leather (the one that looks like a Rasta's hair do!) I used this as a damp scrim for the opening lights and buffed clean and dry with a scrim, ditto georgian and leaded windows.
Finally doing away with the mop leather and just using a damp scrim/dry scrim compo.
Now it is WFP....thank god for progress
