Dear FlyLady,

Please don’t buy a more pale color as the purple rag doesn’t show dirt stains. I was amazed at how clean my outdoor glass-top table got with just one pass of the rag. The next pass made it sparkle. The next day I ate lunch on it–great weather and I escaped hearing the World Cup match. I never would have considered eating outside previously.

I do have a question. What kind of load should we throw the purple rags into?

Dear Elinor,

I did the same thing today. I cleaned my outside glass top table that was covered in muck, pollen and dirt. In the past I have had to use Windex and lots of paper towels. I could not believe how fast my table was shining!

I had a new package of purple rags. I decided to stick them in my stainless steel sink with hot water. They did not bleed any purple! I was shocked that the water did not turn purple. I guess our last shipment was rinsed well. I would still rinse your purple rags out in a bucket.

Do not wash purple rags with anything other than Purple Rags. Fibers from other cloths can ruin the texture of the purple rag.

I use very little soap and a bucket to wash them. Do not use any fabric softener on them. Then I hang mine out to dry so that Harley can not get them. Here is a video that we did with Harley.

Dirty Doors!
