How do these towels wash? Do they shrink or come apart? Are they thick? How soft and absorbent are they?

They shrinked very little, are nice thickness, and quit soft, I am okay with them

I've washed mine over 10 times and they are still in very nice condition. They are thick, soft and absorbent. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of these towels for the price. I would recommend them without hesitation.

When I first got them I had to wash them like six plus times to get rid of all the lint. After that they are great. Soak up well and stay thick and pretty soft.

These towels are not very thick and they do come apart at the edging when washed, I was disappointed because I bought these for my newborn Bengal Leopard cubs. They fit in the towel warmer and hold the heat well. Although, threads and binding start coming off by the second wash. Good Luck, Deborah

This is from the description: "Constructed of 24-ounce (commercial weight) higher density cotton, these towels are washed at high temperatures with bleach agents to ensure minimal shrinkage." I think it indicates the quality of the fabric. Each towel is thin and light.

I've had mine for a quite a long time now and I would say you don't need to wash them, but I have thrown them in washer or dryer from time to time and they have not shrunk for me. You could hand wash them as well to avoid them from shrinking and just let them dry out.

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.

I use hand towels (from Target, 3 to a pack). They are perfect. Had bought some really thick towels that did not work at all.

Soft and i have had no problems with fading or shrinking. Washed a handful of times,)

The towels are finished on all four sides. They are not as soft as diapers but when fabric softener is used they are soft. The fabric is woven with tiny raised lines on it which is why they would not be as soft as you say diapers are. I have green ones that are used in the kitchen for wiping counters and blue ones that are used elsewhere for cleaning. I wash them in very hot water which has not caused them to fade at all. This fabric has lots of lint so be sure to wash and dry the towels before using them.

They shrink a little bit but not that much. They still are the size of a dish towel. Hope that helps. I have not bought paper towels since I got this.

We have washed them many times, and I would say there is very little shrinkage. But, I do wash in cold water, and tumble dry on low. They are really strong bags. We love them.

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

No they do not shrink. I generally dry them on a drying rack in the garage (I live in Florida, so it's like a dryer). They definitely are not plush, and almost feel rubbery. They are a little space age(y). More info than you asked for~

No they don't shrink. I love the towels very much but be careful in getting stains on it. Hard to get them out.Love the size and great for drying time.

I have only washed them once in my washer on delicate. Since then I have been just washing them with soap and water while on my hands and it has been great! I hang them to dry on my drying rack.

No Shrinking at All. These are made of fine polyester, no cotton... but still just as soft. We started using these about a year ago and have not gone back since. I shower in the morning and after the gym in the evening. A cotton towel could not dry itself fast enough. Enjoy

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.

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.
