I wash mine in hot water and either air dry or machine dry, but without any softening agents.

Default if it can't stand a hot water bath and a medium dryer it, it's junk! (thats my motto at least)..
..for car towels :/

I do cold/warm and air dry. I find they start linting if I use a dryer.

Default I do hot water and put them in the dryer with other towels. No problems.
No fabric softener of any kind.

Default don't wash/dry it with linty stuff, otherwise it just picks it all up
I wash all my microfiber stuff seperately (have enough for a small load...okay, half a load maybe..)
