Black bandannas for me. I wash them in the bath and then put them into the washing machine,
For outside, for better appearance sake i have brown handkerchiefs, cotton, and i find they wash just fine with other coloured laundry, but they’re less absorbent than my next 2 choices.
But at home, i use brown cotton teatowels ( less than a tenner on well known site beginning with A for 6), and any colour microfibre cloths ( lovely and soft, similar price same site). Again, they wash just fine with coloured laundry in the machine.
My Grandmother used to stock me up with hankies as a child. I remember she would boil them in a large pan probably with some hand washing powder or other linen detergent of yesteryear.
Welcome to the forum Dunravin!
It’s Elephant brand bandanas for my handkerchiefs. They aren’t perfect but they work fine.
I wash these, really filthy, using auto-soak setting and they come out perfectly clean. If I don’t use auto-soak they dont get clean. It’s necessary to let the detergent surfactants work for awhile.
