Same here: regular detergent, I just use less of it, and I even wash them in a washing machine (cold wash) and tumble dry on low heat. No problems: no shrinkage, still maintains its odor-free characteristics. The only thing I do is to put my sweaters in net bags so they don't get stretched during wash and spin.
