How many times did you wash your GMD?

I just received a dozen of the unbleached cloths and I'm curious how many times you washed them before using. Also, did you use detergent in any of the cycles? TIA!

  • I boil all my PFs and then maybe one wash in the machine with a smidge of detergent.

  • I'm pretty sure I washed them about 5 or 6 times (I think this is their recommendation).  I added just a tiny, tiny amount of liquid detergent, and  dried in between washings.

    I just finished prepping a batch and washed/dried 5 times.  I used detergent each cycle and double rinsed.

  • I washed them 5 times. The first time with Charlies and vinegar, then the remaining cycles with just water.  Vinegar in the last one to help make softer!
  • I washed the bleached ones 3 times with detergent (RNG) and with an extra rinse, and dried them in between.  I think she recommends 5-6 times for the unbleached, with detergent and with drying in between.
  • I washed 1x w/detergent, 1x without, dried, washed w/detergent, washed w/o, dried, washed w/detergent, washed without, dried.
