Does it wash well (other than the potential bleeding)? Does it shrink?

I swim 3 - 5 days a week. I bought this towel because I thought it would be easier to take due to the smaller size than a regular towel and would dry much faster. I LOVE IT! I have not had any issues with this towel! I would buy again in a heart beat! It did not shrink. I do wash on gentle. I can't remember if it is just me or if I was told to when it arrived. I did use a "color catcher" on the first wash, though the sheet of color catcher did not collect any color. It was still white just like when I put it in the washer. I definitely LOVE using this towel!!!

Have only washed a few times and no shrinking noticed. Washes fine as far as I could tell. The towel is nearly perfect. Just get the right size and you'll be fine.

I have washed mine many times in residential and commercial machines and have had no problems with shrinking or bleeding. As a precaution I did wash it with only dark colors on the first wash.

It does not shrink. When it is washed it lays flat. Not sure the fabric is . It is soft and lays nice on the bed. Fits really nice. Tis is a great value! I have 2.

I washed it in a cold, cold setting and did not put it in the dryer and no shrinkage. :)

It is washable, I wash before I sew, it may shed some on the edges before it is sewn.

Hi there. The instructions on how to wash it are on the back of the package. It should not shrink. The instructions say "Machine wash the Protector as quickly as possible after spillage, preferably while still fresh and wet. DO NOT USE BLEACH or BLEACH ALTERNATIVE. To avoid blistering, tumble dry in the dryer at medium (or lower) temperature always together with bed linens or towels (NEVER dry the Protector alone in a dryer)." I hope that helps. :)

you know, I haven't yet, hasn't needed it. I think it is treated to be somewhat stain resistant. i did start to look at it the other day and wonder about it. I think normal (larger size) machine wash would do, line/fluff dry as you wouldn't want to shrink it, but it is getting it back on the sack where you may need two sets of hands, at least!

Yes it shrinks. I bought a King size. I washed it in cold water and dried it on perma press cycle and it shrank 5" each direction. Get a King size for a queen size bed.

My fiance uses it. And he hasn't had a problem, you could possibly washer it and see if it shrinks a lil...

We washed and dried it before putting it on our queen-sized down comforter...no noticeable issues with shrinkage or fading.

Yes, it washes beautifully. I put it in a large front load washer, then I dried it on medium temperature for awhile until it was just damp and hung it outside to finish drying it smelled great from hanging outside! There was no shrinkage at all. Looks brand new.

Not at all. I've actually washed it as well and let it air dry. Has held up well.

It did not shrink. Its rich ecru color was unchanged. Put it on the bed right out the dryer, no wrinkles!

I am not sure but mine did not shrink after washing it. I did however buy a king for a queen bed.

I have not yet washed it but when I do I believe it will be fine in a gentle cycle setting. I would avoid high heat dryers.

Yes, I wash it in the same load as all my diapers then line dry it. It has held up fine and works great!
