If you feel that you absolutely MUST prewash, just fill a mixing bowl with water as hot as you can get it from the tap, add 1 or 2 drops of dish soap (no more) and swish for a couple of minutes with a wooden spoon. Then pour out thw water and rinse with cold water, wring and iron dry. Someone here uses a salad spinner! But I don't prewash.
