If so, add 2 tablespoons of dish soap and 2 tablespoons of detergent. You can use powder or liquid detergent that you have at home, OK? After that, stir again so that the soap dissolves and boil the kitchen towel for 5 minutes. If you feel the dirt is very stubborn, you can boil it longer, up to 10 minutes.
