Default Towel washing... all together or seperate ?

I feel dumb for asking this because it seems obvious BUT...

Can I wash all my towels together or do I need to seperate the wheel/misc from the actual towels that touch the paint. All are MF.

I was thinking wash seperately so there is no re-deposit from the wheel/misc towels onto my drying/polish/wax towels.

Survey says ???

anything that touches something nasty gets washed separate for me. towels that are used on the paint get the highest care, and interior mf towels usually dont get too bad either (when used to wipe down a dash, etc) so those get washed together for me. things that get nasty get washed together as well. i finally picked up some vinegar for the rinse cycle so i look forward to seeing how that makes a difference in the future

you can wash all mfs together - and prob should wash twice...

however, i am with muttgrunt. i wash the "nasty" towels separately and even have them marked. the "good" towels get a bit better treatment... i use an mf cleaning product and also add a bit of vinegar in the rinse, like mg

I usually mix in a capful or so per microfiber towel that has been used with a substance. The main point I think is the pH balance and the Vinegar is an acid to neutralize the basic substances

Not yet at least. I use detergent + vinegar and hang dry my microfibers.
