I washed mine at the local laundermat, in their biggest front-loader. I just used regular liquid detergent most of the time (did splurge on "cover wash and conditioner" once but I think it`s snake oil) but you might consider one of those "microfiber detergents" if you want to get a little fancy about it.
Unless it`s really dirty, you might get enough detergent just by pre-spotting the dirty areas (e.g., from tires/etc.) if there are any.
Rinse rinse rinse. And maybe once more
I`d unfold/untwist/etc. it between every rinse cycle.
I dried mine, at least part of the way, in their big dryer, on "low". Note that the fabric *can* shrink a little, which sorta surprised me. Didn`t shrink enough to be a real problem, but maybe I was just lucky. So, I`d only dry it part way. They dry out the rest of the way easily enough once they`re not soaking wet anymore.
