Are you supposed to machine wash them?

I wash mine on 60 degrees with no detergent.
Don't know if that's the right or wrong thing to do but they seem ok.

 i wash mine @ 95 c :o i add the oxy powder this gets them really clean all the black marks from the rubber sealer on upvc windows.
Make sure you never use conditioner this makes them ineffective.

I have washed a couple, just on a rinse wash at 40, no detergent. They take forever to dry and don't seem to be quite as absorbent as they were when new.  ???

You have to be careful not to use conditioner, but a lot of washing detergents have it added !

We just put them on a clothes airer overnight, and they are dry by morning.
