I have a top loader and prewash just about everything. I put it on the gentle agitation cycle for wash, and regular for spin.
I have minimal fraying, and if there are longer threads, I just snap them off before I put it in the dryer. It's never been anything I'd consider significant.
I will add - it's been a long time since I've bought fabric that was not LQS quality.
