Lens manufacturers say that anything other than a microfiber cloth will damage the coatings on a lens. But microfiber cloths eventually pick up crap and they look like they're a pain to wash.

How do you keep your lenses clean? Are you using cloth/kleenex or microfiber cloths? If you use microfiber cloths, how do you clean those?

Microfiber cloth. They are easy to wash, just don't add fabric softener or chlorine and don't put them in the dryer.

My dad will collect up the microfiber cloths and put them in a mesh bag, throwing them in with the regular laundry since we don't use fabric softener

Yes exactly, that works fine. As i understand it, there are microscopic 'bristles' at the end of each thread, which gives it that mild scrub effect. Adding fabric softener or other things destroy the bristles, permanently.
