If, however, it is an oil stain , then it would be better to absorb it first with bicarbonate if it is fresh and then proceed by washing the rag with vinegar because it has a strong degreasing action.
Pre-treatment
When it comes to stains, I always prefer to pre-treat them before moving on to the actual washing so that I can act locally.

For this reason, I suggest you pour the right product on the halo and let it act for a while. Then, use a sponge or toothbrush to scrub and don’t lose patience right away because some stains may require a lot of elbow grease!
Another way to pre-treat your tea towels is to soak them overnight (or in any case for many hours) in a basin with hot water containing one of the pantry ingredients, such as bicarbonate, percarbonate , lemon juice, l ‘vinegar etc.
Installation times
Finally, another very important aspect to consider concerns installation and washing times.
In fact, in the pre-treatment phase , I always try to soak the cloths for as long as possible, obviously also taking into account the type of stain.
In general, the drier and more impossible the stain is to remove, the longer I soak the cloths in the basin.
Likewise, I avoid the fast wash cycle and prefer longer washes , always at high temperatures, for the dirtiest dishcloths.
Furthermore, I remind you that in the case of some stains that are now fixed, multiple washes may even be necessary .
In short, the important thing is to have a lot of patience and elbow grease and not think that they are irrecoverable!
