Default DIY prewash for 100% cotton T's

I now have quite a few Gilden and Anvil 100% cotton T's I am trying to sell - I started with these as I am still experimenting.

I think these are marketable, but I also think it would be much easier to sell if I could do a DIY pre-wash to make them feel softer - anyone sell enzyme wash products that you can use with a normal washing machine? or any ideas on how to soften the feel of these - hate to toss them.

thanks

Hey Mark-

I don't think that an enzyme wash for the purpose of softening a garment is something that can be done in your home washer. You are dealing with chemicals that wear away the surface of fabrics-- not easy to handle. Not to mention that it takes technical knowledge to know how much to use to acheive the correct effect. Wash and Dye houses also use industrial washers- not the type we all have in our homes. I have heard of cleaning products that use enzymes to remove stains, but that isn't on the scale that you would need to make your garments nice and soft.
