Ditto. Delicates wash with 1/2 normal detergent. Absolutely no fabric conditioner. Keeps them going for ages.

I use no conditioner and use the waching machine but read white viniger helps to make the Microfiber pick up water better after it's been washed and used a bit

Vinegar is suggested in the conditioner section, to help make sure all the detergent is removed.
Tried it with and without (but with an extra rinse cycle), and couldn't discern any difference in the performance of the cloths.
Think it's a placebo, or as some like to say YMMV (your mileage may vary).
