Prepping fabric for cloth wipes?

I can't seem to figure this out! I'm planning on making some cloth wipes from old flannel sheets. Do I need to do anything to prep the fabric first? They're clean but maybe I should wash again in CD-friendly detergent? Anything else I should do? Thanks!

    I would wash again in the CD detergent and hem the edges to prevent frey over repeated washes.

    I wouldn't really worry about it. Wash once in CD detergent if you want to be on the safe side.

    I would make them 2-ply if you're sewing/serging. Or just cut with pinking shears if you want the easiest possible way.

    I would just sew or serge the edges so they don't fray. Other than that I wouldn't do anything else to them.
