Red rags are a loser in a home washing machine. Just too much grease. I don't know what they wash the rags and uniforms in, but once I left a dollar bill in the pocket of my work pants and when i get them back and found the dollar, one side was almost blank!!!!!

Best bet is to find a local shop that will let you "use" their industrial service. Buy your own rags, trade out at the shop and pay the owner what it costs (plus a little premium for being a good guy!) to have them cleaned. I am lucky. I used to own the shop that my brother has now, so we call it "founder's privileges".
