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!

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.

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

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

As best I can tell,yes. They dry extremely quickly. I use them in lieu of paper towels. Super absorbent, easily washed and dried.

Negative. I've had these sheets for over two months and have washed them six times. They are as good as when I bought them.

I washed mine in warm soapy water when I got them and let air dry. No smell

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.

Yeah I have washed them with a mild shampoo and it was fine. Hope this helped

I am sorry, could you articulate your question again, as I am not able to understand what it is you are asking me about the towels. Thank you.

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.

I haven't washed mine yet, so I can't say for sure. Other reviews I read lead me believe that they hold their shape well. Fingers crossed.

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. They are light re useable dish cloths. Just use your own disinfectant cleaner. The great part is they dry quickly so no mildewy smell in summer.

I'm not sure but I would guess it is the thread count. I know that these are very nice towels.

Mine also smelled horrible. I didn't wash them, but left them to air out. It took about a month before they didn't stink.

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.
