So, how can I wash these to keep them fresh?

Can I use a slight amount of detergent (liquid) in the washer with the MF towels and throw them in the dryer on medium heat with no dryer sheet?
 
no fabric softner .. and use the dedicated MF soaps for easiest cleaning, no need to add this or that.
 
Wash your towels in cold or cool water (no heat), using a standard laundry detergent such as Tide. Then dry them by regular air or by air drying in your dryer (again, no heat).
 
I wash with Tide liquid in hot water, double wash and dry on low heat. Washed hundreds of towels this way with no problems. Every third wash I pre soak in a microfiber cleaner before washing. Alway's wash your mf's separately. That is, drying towels, glass towels, wax/sealant towels.
 
Like wash them buffing/wax towels in one load, glas towels in one load, etc.?

I mean I only have 1 glass towel. I'm not doing an entire cycle of laundry for one towel. Sorry. Money doesn't grow on trees where I live.

Then wash it by hand.
 
Lots of different opinions. Kind of like what wax to use. :D

Over the past six or seven years of using and washing MF, I have used regular laundry detergent and hot water with good luck.
In recent years, I have been using a MF detergent and have started doing a second rinse with vinegar added to the second rinse. The vinegar is supposed to help remove any detergent residue left in the MF.
I do think my MF is in better shape with that process, but I don't know if it is the MF detergent, the second rinse or the vinegar. I also have a couple of dryer balls that I use occasionaly during the drying.
I still use hot water and dry with the normal heat used with all my laundry. I have never noticed any damage from hot water or dryer heat. Some of my towels are at least 6 years old and I'm not sure I could pick those out from my almost new ones.
I do wash my MF separately from other laundry, but I don't separate the towels when washing. If it's MF, it goes in the load. I don't have grunge MF since I use my old cotton terry towels for the dirty jobs.

A Dryette is an antique drying rack I found in the mother in law's basement. :)
