Does anybody know a good way to clean those microfiber lens cloths? Can you wash 'em in the washer? Can you just rinse 'em out with hot water? I mean, I'll just try it anyway if nobody says anything, but they're ten bucks a throw and I thought I'd at least ask.
Mine appear to pick up a lot of oil from my skin and my glasses. After a while they start smearing. I know, I know, don't use the same cloth for the glasses. Not always practical.
Yes, I have very oily skin. I take a bath every day whether I need one or not, so no smart remarks, please. Well, okay, but make 'em funny, at least.

Actually, Doug, those "few breaths" on the lens before wiping it are vital to keeping the lens from becoming an expensive fog filter. That's true whether you're using a microfiber cloth or t-shirt. After 35 years of this I'll stick to my handy t-shirt.
