Can these towels be washed with bleach? Or will using bleach reduce the life of the towel dramatically?

Not sure. I found these towels don't dry as well. They also are not as absorbent.

A: hello, It is best to need not, the bath towel absorbent strong, bleach is bad for your health advice

I use bleach regularly and they are great. I don't use fabric softener in the washing machine but I do use a dryer sheet. The towels are terrific and they haven't degraded at all.

I wash in hot water (no bleach, just Tide) and dry thoroughly and have not had any noticeable shrinkage. GREAT stain release! These are not designer kitchen towels, they're the WORKHORSE of commercial kitchens and should be he same in yours.

Haven't needed to yet but I would just wash them in the sink and lay them out on a sheet to dry. If you are wanting to sanitize them you could wash in the sink then rinse in a bleach-water solution before drying.

i throw them in the washer. and i use regular detergent soap with bleach and in hot water, your color ones might changed color but you can use them again.

These bamboo towels can be used, washed and then reused. The average life of 1 bamboo towel is 20 washings. So 1 bamboo sheet can take the place of 20 paper sheets. So they are not used like the typical paper towel. I hope this answer helps.

I haven't run them through the washing machine, but I did hand wash them in a diluted bleach solution. It worked just fine, and the stink went away. My mom actually has a pair. She hangs them from clothes pins to keep them open, and they seem to get less stinky.

I have not had this problem, with these towels, but I have with dish towels. Try a splash of vinegar in your washing machine.

Wash towels tend to sour quickly. I can just rinse these out or toss into the dish washer. They can be washed over and over again. They can not be put back on the roll once removed.

Yes, I have washed them with my other whites and have used Clorox bleach on them :) So far they are holding up well for inexpensive towels. The only draw back is that they are thin but, in truth, I am comparing them to thicker Turkish white towels I purchased from Lands End :) otherwise, these are great for the price!

Yes. I like them very well. A great deal for the money. One reason that towels lose their absorbency, is due to fabric softener, which coats the towels and they are no longer absorbent. If you stay away from the fabric softener, they will last a long time.

Yes. I run them in the delicate cycle. I love these towels. They're super light weight and although they feel really wet after drying yourself off, they dry out really fast when you hang them.

I wash with towels, cold water and bleach. I use dryer balls or dryer sheets. They are holding up really well.

Ziplocs are nice option but its my understanding these are washable. I would soak them in a batch of warm water with a bit of liquid soap & cap of bleach then rinse thoroughly before reuse. I love these things.

I just hand wash them and let them dry naturally. I have washed mine quite a few times with no problem. I do have 3 sets.

I just wash and dry them like I would any towel. Not sure if this recommended but it works. I've had mine for a year with weekly washing a and they are in great shape. When possible I love to line dry!

Hi Sandra! The answer is ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!! Read my review and you will see in detail what my experience is! I read reviews that said they sloughed off in the washer like 3 times and had a lot of lint in the dryer. All I can tell you is that after the first wash, there was NO string or residue in the washer and the lint filter in the dryer was an even bigger surprise--hardly any at all!!! They came out of the dryer all big and fluffy--gorgeous white towels! The quality is evident in the look of them. I bought two for myself and two to give as gifts (all are being monogrammed now!!) for 2 friends I am meeting in Rome in February 2014. We are going to a huge spa and I thought such beautiful towels would be a nice gift. I think both guys will like them a lot!! I can only tell you my experience with them--I don't know about anyone else. All I can say is they are WORTH the money!!!!!

We recommend washing the towels before the first use. First, a wash will remove any impurities that the towels may have acquired during transportation and storage (it is always a good rule to wash any linen before using it). Second, the towels will become softer and more absorbent after a couple of washes, and will lose any remaining lint. We recommend washing in either hot or cold water and with or without bleach (at the customer's preference). We recommend drying in low heat to minimize shrinking. However, many customers choose to dry in high heat either out of convenience (with other linens) or because they believe it results in cleaner towels.I hope this helps.LisaLiliane Collection We recommend washing the towels before the first use.
