Do I boil towels in plain water or add soap?

I have MF towels with WGDGPS in them that just won't come out after multiple washings so I'm going to try boiling them. Do you put anything in the water?

I don't have any particular APC - at least not a car care product. I tried a Laurl Sulfate and Betane based all purpose household cleaner that worked about like dawn for some towels. I tried simple green, first rubbed in straight, and then at about 3 cups in about 3 quarts of hot water. No luck. They've been washed in dawn and other soaps about 5 times. A few hold some water (slowly) and have been separated out. I just have the worst of the worst left to boil.

These are the same towels from the Expert board thread, I just needed a quick answer on the boiling procedure since I have some time right now to do it. Thanks for the quick response.

That sealant is brutal! Are they all this hard to wash out? I don't think I had this trouble from my previous sealant, KSG, but then again maybe that's in there too! :(
