What kind of processing is the 'starched finish' mentioned in the mosquito net dishcloth description, and why must it be washed before first use?

This question arises when you want to use a new dishcloth right away but encounter a product description stating it has a starched finish and should be washed first. We have compiled the meaning of this unfamiliar processing method and the reason it must be washed before it can finally be used.

hmmm editorial answer

The starched finish is a treatment where starch is applied to stiffen and shape the fabric, so the starch must be washed out with water to bring out the fabric's original softness and absorbency.
