Default I have A Silly Question

I purchased a Taylor Guitar ultra-soft microfiber cloth a couple years ago.
Does it do any harm or hurt the integrity of the cloth to just throw it in the washing machine ? How does everyone clean them or do you ?

Wash by hand with dish washing detergent, hang to dry.
Microfiber is damaged by fabric softener or bleach.

I wash them separately in Woolite so I don't get any other contaminants into the fibers.

I clean my microfibre cloths in the washing machine all the time without incident. Wash and dry, no bleach or softener.

Well, looks like several correct answers. I think I am going with the "wash by hand in Woolite" method. Can't go wrong even though other ways sound like they work also.
Thanks everyone
