Are these towels antibacterial?

Yes I believbe they are. I have not had any problems with mine, and with my many medical issues, I have not had any new issues, and the towel has worked out far better then I ever thought possible. Hope this helped.

I looked on the packaging and it does not say antibacterial. Might try the Scott web site and ask, but since it is not on the package they probably are not. They do contain aloe, and not so sure I would want them to be antibacterial considering I keep them in the bathroom on the back of the toilet.

I do not think they would be antimicrobial. The are under ware and washing them, the first time, would not preserve this. Kids wear them all the time with not problems. My grandson loves them. Comfortable, especially and under his wrestling outfit because they do not bunch and they give.

They are very thick towels and quite heavy. They are very absorbent. I am very please with my order.

I wash these towels along with my other towels using hot water, liquid detergent, and crucially NO fabric softener (softener fills up the little nooks and crannies in the fabric and negatively affects its absorbency). I guess you could, as others have said, use vinegar if you want to give the towels a good cleaning.

I would say yes. I've had mine for over a month now and they're just as absorbent as they were after the first wash.

I would say no. They are pretty stiff and too firm.more rubbery than spongey. Not absorbent at all. I don't use mine.

I have found them to be very absorbent. They are very cushy and really soak up water. Also, btw, using less fabric softener (I use half a sheet instead of a whole sheet) can make towels more absorbent.

No i don't believe so because the ones i buy are towelletes in individual small packets. Kind of a small wet paper towels folded up.

I did not wash them before the first use and had no qualms about it. That said, the towels are more absorbent after the first washing. Once the order is placed, the company will send an email with care instructions. I continue to enjoy this product.

No. They are highly absorbent after a good washing, but they are definitely not waterproof.

I believe so. I love them and they wear well. I use them for all clean ups and rarely buy paper towels.

I'm about 99% sure they're microfiber. They definitely aren't terry cloth or just plain old cotton. Whatever they are, they absorb very well.

These towels don't shrink at all once washed. I've had mine for quite a while with no shrinkage, no pilling, no changes whatsoever. They're still as absorbent as the day I received them.

They do have a lot of lint.......haven't found a towel that doesn't.....the Egyptian cotton is the best towels I have found and these specific ones are just great......I now have six and plan to order more. I think the amount of lint will diminish with each washing.....but think you will always have lint from them. Hope this is helpful.....I would suggest you try a couple (they come in twos) and I believe you will be very happy with them.

no they don't. I love the look of the towels but they do not absorb water at all. I have never used a towel like this before that just glides over the water after taking a shower.

I'm not sure but I sure love these having these in the bathroom we have had less colds and flu so I don't think I will ever go back to a hand towel............
