Wash machine with no softener. I tend to just chuck 'em away though and buy new ones. 4 for £2 in Wilko.

Don't use washing tablets either :) I have some cheap biological washine liquid from Tescos for my MF's :) and a bit of white vinegar as a conditioner breaks the products down as well :)

Probably got lost in the "Great Crash of 08
