Much debate on detailing world about this, ive tried handwashing and tried the sonus machine wash stuff. Wasnt impressed with the machine wash so will be using the stuff when hand washing my bits an pieces in future...
Its much more labourious but i think it does a much better job at removing polish, wax etc and keeps the microfibre cloths from going hard

Always tend to wash them by hand in plain water but wondered if there was a different way  plus im thinking of getting 2 lambswool mitts one for washing and one for removing polish (not 100% on the second one yet) but whats the best way to clean these?

I used to just but the cheap tesco ones for a pound and use them once and throw them, but they aint the best micros for your paint. Handwashing them should be fine id imagine
