What do you do to clean your detailing towels?

I have a bunch of microfiber towels that need to be cleaned. What is the recommended method of doing so?
Thanks

Washing machine, 2 cycle rinse.
Dawn dish detergent and a couple of ounces of vinegar in the first rinse. The dirtier they are the more Dawn I use but it doesn't take very much to get them clean.

What Old Dogg™ said. Then hot dryer, with a CLEAN lint trap. No fabric sheets.

I have to go to the laundry mat to do mine .. The wife is real touchy about her new washer and dryer... She actually said " from now on only clean clothes go in here "' Wow..Anyways I usually wash mine with Purple power Degreaser.. I have alot on hand since I use it on the vent hood accounts I do .. Or my machine works good , just lay them out and spray away

Washing machine with Tide Free. Add vinegar onto the final rinse then air dry.

Wash my new, clean towels together and then not so new ones separately.

use any good quality LIQUID clothes detergent that is fragrance and softener free. I use All Free.

Add one teaspon of white vinegar per towel.

I wash three loads .. one of wax removal towels.. one fo generic dirty MF's .. one of glass towels.
