Has anyone used a chlorine bleach on the white towels?

I've used Clorox on them to brighten them up a few months ago. Still my favorite towels.

Clorox bleach could certainly damage and thin the towel thread. each time you bleach it become thinner and thinner. Yes you get it whiter by bleaching it but soon you left with a thin almost transparent cloth!!! SO use the powder Oxygen powered bleach instead. Never use Clorox, it is for floors tiles mold in toilet or outside, also no good for the environment.

I've used bleach a few times, with no noticeable wear. Brightened them up and removed minor stains. But as another user said, I would not do it regularly.

No, I haven't bleached them. I sent back the ones that I ordered as they seemed too thin and were smaller that what I wanted.

Brian, I've tried soaking the pads in warm soapy water to loosen some of the dirt before I wash them in cold water. I think the pads say "do not use bleach". I finally got so frustrated that I ordered new pads because they seem to be impossible to clean after a couple of uses. If you hear from anyone else, I'd be interested in their results.Thanks,Stephanie Kentala

Yes, but didn't actually try, I just put bleach in it w/water and wait a while (o clean it). Maybe avoid the heat cycle.

Sorry, but I haven't tried. I always wash them by hand, which I feel is far better when dealing with smaller items. Based on the apparent quality, it should be OK, but this is speculation.

I got the white ones and I love them so much. I use them instead of getting paper towels. They absorb wonderful. I did not get the fuschia color.

Hello, i have used clorox in the washing machine too. I don't know what the reason is for not bleaching.I have very old microfiber cloths that have been washed with bleach.They are very stiff and non absorbant now.. but have served their purpose. I try not to bleach thse new ones. so far so good. I love these micrfiber cloths.

never had this experience. I've laundered them a few times, and I have an upright high efficiency machine, which tends to be rougher on everything, but I haven't noticed any issues with these towels.

I haven't tried bleach but they are very sturdy and the papers that came with them say they are common chemical safe.

Mine is just stained from use. I'd imagine you'd have to wash it after every use to keep it bleach white. I've tried all types of soap and it's just stained.

I have not used bleach or fabric softener; as softener tends to decrease absorbtion aftee a period of time. I have used prewash and washed in hot water. They are feels great I would recommend.

They're cotton and their white, so yes, they stain. You can use biz or bleach to help, however bleach does wear the fibers down and makes the lifetime shorter. They are really nice towels. I love mine.

I wash in hot with cold rinse and dry low. Had them four years so far. Love them. In the summertime you can line dry and they will naturally bleach back to white inside.

I would not recommend these towels to anyone....they are crap. They are made out of the same material that bed sheets are made of. They do not absorb water at all and you can't even use them as hand towels. If you do buy these, just don't get them too dirty and use bleach when you wash them. Sorry for the negativity, but I thought you should know.

It doesn't work as bleach really. The "bluing" effect neutralizes the yellow of white fabric that has been washed and bleached with chlorine over time.

I haven't tried but I usually just soak it in sink (folded) with a heavy bleach concentration then rinse it well.
