Who washes all their microfibers together??

Have 4 categories

Rinseless towels
Drying towels
Paint towels (QD polish removal etc.)
Kirkland or demoted towels

Do not use coatings that often but when I do towels immediately get put in a bucket for pre-soak and are washed separate.
Different colored towels for different jobs helps keep me organized & always do a second rinse
 
Paint, and window get washed together. I do a pre wash for waterless wash towels. Warm water, vinegar rinse.

Interior dash, and upholstery wipe off towels get their own load.

Utility towels (wheels, jambs, etc) get their own load too.
 
I separate into 6 different loads:

-Window towels
-Polish removal towels
-LSP removal towels
-Detail spray towels
-Drying towels
-Cheapo towels for interior and dirty tire, wheel, trim jobs
 
If you use Blackfire's Citrus cleaner to soak towels, you can mix different types of towels with less negative effects. It's powerful and rinses easily.
BLACKFIRE Advanced Pad Cleaner & Restorer
Glass towels are a different animal though. Any cross contamination on those can cause a major headache. I keep these seperate in their own wash, and store them in a plastic bag.
I decided to share this post, even though it doesn't answer OP's question, because it makes washing all types together much easier.
 
Coating wipedown towels go in the trash. I’ve heard of soaking them, but the coatings I’ve used harden the towels right away and no amount of soaking is going to remove that.
 
I wash all the towels together with the really nasty towels getting an apc soak beforehand. I use hot water with extra rinse cycles.

+2 If I spent as much time doing laundry as some of you guys I wouldn't have any time to work. As it is, I wash 4-6 full loads of towels per week. Hot water, microfiber towel detergent, lowest heat setting to dry.
 
I wash the same exact way and have never had a problem.
 
Wash all of ‘em together?
Not me: I don’t want to risk the
chance of cross-contamination.

I separate paint (i.e. wax removal) from glass towels. You don't have a problem with your wax wipe-off towels streaking glass? It drove me crazy so it is the only separation I do.

Sounds like your towels are not getting clean. Try adding some white vinegar to your rinse. Use less window cleaner too(a major source of streaking). Also try some Nextzett glass cleaner, it’s the best!
