I wash mine in warm water and dry on low heat. I have found that a good MF-specific cleaner such as this:http://www.autogeek.net/blackfire-mi...eaner-128.html works somewhat better than standard laundry detergent. Sometimes it also helps to presoak them for 10-15 minutes before starting the wash cycle.

I just throw them in the washing machine and add detergent. No fabric softener or bleach.

Avoiding fabric softener is the biggest thing to remember when caring for your towels. It will quickly clog the fibers up, causing them to lint and not do their job properly!

Here's a FAQ from our forum about the proper care and storage for microfiber towels:

I too suggest using a MF specific soap like those from Blackfire, Pinnacle and more. Keep MF towels segregated from all other laundry. If you feel they aren't as soft, you can use white vinegar in the rinse. I also highly recommend using those dryer ***** to keep lint and static down.

I just so happen to have a writeup based on this exact subject:

Covers all the basics and more.

Washing machine with liquid soap only. Wash warm and rinse cold. I air dry on my lift in the garage and the shake out, fluff up and store in clean tote boxes.
