A tip from my sister, My Laundry Guru
Use Roma Laundry Detergent (made in Mexico) can be found in most stores in So. Calif. with a cup of baking soda in Cold water. Put the Roma Detergent and the Baking Soda in the washer with Cold water. Let the washer swish the solution around until dissolved for a few minutes. Then load the cloths in the Washer. Reset the washer for a full normal cycle. The cloths will not stink.
Rags will also be cleaner and whites whiter. Good luck
