We've run ours through the washer over the years, with and without soap and fabric softener... with and without the extra pre-soak cycle... Almost all the available options have always worked, but usually we've gravitated toward one dollop of soap and one of fabric softener, with pre-soak, and with extra rinse and high-speed spin-dry.
BUT... one brand of lines (Sampson) is always much stiffer than the other brand (New England).
BTW, doesn't hurt to wrap those suckers separately, but even then, they usually all end up tangled up with each other...
