do these towels mildew or smell bad?

The short answer is no. I have had no problem with them except they are not soft but I have noticed they are getting better with each wash. Having so much cotton in them (820 grams) I expect them to last a long time and to get progressively better with age, and yes I will buy them again as I am impressed by them.

no not that am aware of... however if if they do you can wash it on hot and add 1 cup of vinegar to instead of detergent and when the washer is done with its cycle then restart the washer and run it on hot again except add 1/2 cup of baking soda (again instead of detergent) and when the cycle is complete dry it and it should smell better... And don't use liquid or powder fabric softener with these towels... or really any expensive towels

These towels are thick. So I hope your towel bar is in an area to get air. I have not noticed any orders. Yes I would buy them again.

No, never. They are very comparable to the much more expensive Frette brand. Great buy!

No. These towels have gone through lots of use and laundering and are holding up beautifully. However-I dry them on my drying rack to prevent more shrinking. Since I have 13 towels, I don't miss the 3 or 4 that are drying.

Yes. I wash these towels together in a small load on delicate cycle with regular detergent, no bleach. Then I just hang them in the basement to dry. If you have accidentally dropped one of these on the ground while using them on the car, be sure to remove any tiny bits of gravel, dirt, thorns, etc. by hand before washing, as these particles really cling to the fabric.

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.

Yes they wash really well I just put them in the washer with my other cleaning towels I use oxyclean and detergent but no softener. I haven't had it long enough to show any wear. I bought extra pad when I purchased the machine so I always have a clean pad. Jo Ann

I have not detected an objectionable odor, just a slight smell of warm cloth, similar to heated towels, which I like.

there is no odor that I have noticed. They do make a little noise when you have them in your dryer, but your sheets and towels come out great. Plus they are really cute.

Yes, the towels are as think as the washcloths. Both are nice. The towels aren't so super-thick so that they don't absorb. But not so thin that they won't dry you off.

No, not that I noticed. The product itself does not smell. And the warmed towels/clothes also so not smell. Hopefully other people's don't smell either!

No, they have no odor...and my husband has accused me of having an overly sensitive ability to smell odors! Ha! I did wash them first in cold water before using them.

Depends on the use....these are ivory white...so you can't really tell if they are dirty :) Anyway, these can we easily cleaned with a soft damp cloth.

I wash them after use and dry them in the dryer--don't take any longer than any other towel. Never used bleach on them.

No they are not. Ginsu recommends hand washing with mild detergent and towel drying right in the "use & care" paper included. Obviously some chose not to read or follow that information.

We haven't had a problem with it smelling like mildew. We let it air dry between uses.

Yes, the towels are machine washable. Washing instructions are included on the back of the package. Wash separately in warm to hot water with liquid detergent. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. No iron, bleach, fabric softener or dryer sheets.

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!
