I just finished washing twelve FQs. Not enough to fill a wash load. filled a bucket with hot water and just a bit of detergent. (I don't do anything to the FQs.)
Swished them around for a minute and drained the water and refilled a couple of times to rinse the soap.
I throw the water into the garden, not down the drain. That would be a waste. Every bit of water that can go back to ground, should.
Squeezed out most of the water and tossed into the dryer untill damp dry. I would usually hang them outside but was in a hurry to use the fabric.
When damp dry I spray them with home made starch and press them dry for immediate use.
peace
