I’ve searched.
how do folks clean their wax filled microfiber rags or towels?
my wife hates it when I use the washing machine with all my various towels and detailing products.

1989 325i, sedan, 5speed
Prewash them in a bucket before putting them in the washing machine.
Clean them in a sink/bucket first with Dawn/etc to remove as much wax. They make special microfiber detergent for washing machine too.
I usually let it sit in a bucket filled with hot water at first for a day then i throw them in the washer
There are microfiber wash products that work well. I use Blackfire's MF wash. Unscented wash detergent(Tide Free and Gentle, etc) also is an alternative.
I use Purple Power and a bucket to get the wax and grime out then a trip through the washing machine.
Something I learned the hard way when using the family clothes washer for garage stuff is to wipe the drum and especially the door seal clean, then wash another load of clean garage towels in HOT water. Then it ought to be safe for the Mrs.' frilly things.

I have the same issue - will give Purple Power a try. Has to be cheaper than simply replacing towels and less contentious within the home.
