If they're grimy, use some warm water and a grease-cutting dish soap for a pre-soak and rinse.

I usually just toss mine in the washing machine. Two loads -- one for clean drying and detailing towels and another for polishing/grimy stuff). Just use a liquid laundry detergent. Sometimes I'll use a non-chlorine bleach. Never use chlorine bleach or fabric softeners.

If they're really bad, I'll do an additional rinse with a quarter cup of white vinegar just to rinse them out better.

I'll toss them in the dryer with those little blue dryer balls. Don't use softener.

Then I'll inspect and fold.

Our All Purpose Cleaner or our Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner actually do an awesome job cleaning them up and softening the towels. Like said before - no fabric softener or drying sheets and only wash microfiber with microfiber (no cotton, etc.)

Stupid question...do you put the all-purpose cleaner in the washing machine, or pre-wash with the cleaner and them was normally in the washing machine?

BTW, how come there are no Adams detailing bags available on the website? You should have kit that come with the bag (besides those professional sized kits)
