Warm and even hot water is fine for washing MF towels. It helps open up the fibers and get the crud out. I use regular detergent -- Arm & Hammer because it works and is inexpensive. I also use AC vinegar in the softener dispenser. Never actual fabric softener, and this goes for your bath towels as well, because it interferes with the towel's ability to absorb water. Drying is where you can cause the real damage, because heat will melt the fibers in the towels. Either tumble dry with no heat or, if your dryer has one, use the extra low heat setting. I know people get fanatic about this stuff, especially if someone famous told them to do it a certain way, but it's really simple and you don't need to do anything crazy or expensive.
