Boiling a dish towel in a mixture of salt, baking soda, detergent, and dish soap is an effective method for removing grease stains and musty odors due to the different cleaning and chemical properties of each ingredient.

Once boiled, turn off the stove and drain the kitchen cloth. Continue rinsing using clean water so that there is no soap residue and dirt left behind. Now, while rinsing, rub it a little using your hands. Then squeeze it until clean.
The washed kitchen cloth can be dried directly in the sun until dry. After that, the kitchen cloth is ready to be used again. Because the oil stains and musty smell are gone, the kitchen cloth will be more effective in cleaning various kinds of stains in the kitchen or cutlery.
