OCM and oily washcloths -- how to launder?

[amygoforth]

Okay, so I've been doing the oil cleansing method on my face for about a month, and I really like it. Recently though, I haven't felt like I'm able to get all the oil wiped off. I also noticed my washcloths feel kinda oily -- like there's a residue on them. How are you OCM-ers laundering your washcloths? What are you using in the wash? How do you get all the oil out?

I have not done anything different to wash them. They go in with the towels, & I have no oil residue! Do you use fabric softner? Is there a built in fabric softner in your detergent? I've noticed many brands have that now. I've been doing OCM for close to a year now without a problem. I'm curious to what is going on...... I use whatever detergent I got on sale, it has been Method for a long whlie, because of an awesome sale!

I also use whateve is on sale -- usually Purex Free & Clear -- and fabric softener. Could the fabric softener be gooping up the oil? Is there something else I should try, like vinegar?

Oh yeah! Skip the FS & use vinegar wherever you would use FS. The build up may take a while to get rid of. I think you could trip te cloths like you would do for diapers. I think you can do it with baking soda? I'm not sure, maybe check the diaper section! Hope this helps!
