..So we don't have a washer and dryer here in apartment so we have to go out to do laundry. I was kinda hoping to boil some water over the stove and clean my cleaning cloths. Does anyone have any idea how to do this? I've never done anything like this before. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated =)

I researched this about a year ago for dish rags. Wound up using a microwave. 4 minutes is what is required to kill all germs; you soak it, wring it out so it's not dripping, put it in a corningware item ( I used a 2 cup glass measuring cup).

You'll see it start to boil. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't go dry.

And WATCH OUT... IT IS GOING TO BE HOT! use tongs to take it out of the cup.

If you really want to disinfect something, you can spray it with diluted vinegar then hydrogen peroxide and rinse it off with water. The order doesn't really matter but don't mix them before spraying. The big thing though is to let it dry completely.
