boiling new hemp inserts- one time only?

sarbear2

I have a bumch of new hemp inserts. I was going to boil them in a huge pot I have for canning. Just a couple questions

1) How long should I boil them for?

2) Should I boil them more than once (dump out the waer and start fresh)?

3) After boiling I was going to wash them one time- should I use detergent or no?

I don't know how hemp inserts are prepped prior to being sewn, but I was going to make my own and read up about how to prep the fleece iteslf prior to sewing and it said when you wash it to put it inside a pillow case becaue it will throw off tons of lint in the beginning and if its in a pillow case it wont go everywhere.  I would ASSUME the inserts are made with fleece that has already been prepped and the prep you are doing is just to remove the oils.  But I think I would still throw them in a pillow case jsut in case. What will it hurt.
