Are there any chemicals on the towels? Some reviews claim there is a bad smell they notice when opening the package.

I did not notice any smell and don't know if there are chemicals on the towels, BUT these towels are really harsh on the skin. Not pleasant to use. I now use them from scrubbing and cleaning pots and pans.

Not that I am aware of. I have been using this item for years with no problems. Maybe the smell is from the plastic.

If you get towels that smell, they're made in china ripoffs and should be returned, real salux have no odor.

I didn't notice any smell but I'd also guess it might have been from the plastic packaging if they smelled anything. Some people are, well, looking for things like this to a degree of neurosis. I just went and cut open a fresh pack and there is no discernible odor.

The ones I received did not have an unpleasant smell. They smell like the first one I bought at a spa.

Hello. No, I have never noticed a chemical smell at all. So far I have been very happy with this product and have not had any negative issues with it. I hope this helps.

No, it does not have an odor but the heat may enhance any odor on the towel. Like fabric softener or dryer sheets.

I am in a smaller house. I read others in apartments using them. I have a bucket I have been folding them up and setting them in. I have not noticed a smell, but thought of adding water and some sort of soap to the bucket. I think summer time it could be an issueThey wash up great and also I laid them on a drying rack to dry overnight.

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 did not have this problem. My dish towels were quite absorbent, even though they are very thin. I also do not use fabric softener when I dry them.

I didn't notice anything like a strong plastic smell. Perhaps they should be put thru the dishwasher first. I have been using them for several months without any problem.

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

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.

The towel is very plush and absorbent, yes. I've only washed mine a few times but so far they've remained soft, plush and absorbent.

There was no chemical smell when i first open the box nor later. I've had this item for about 3 months now and i have not had any problems with bad smells. The room that i have the step in gets pretty warm in the afternoon because it gets all of the afternoon sun hitting it, and even then there is no bad smell. I hope this helps.

Philip: are you asking if there are chemicals in the cloth from the box, or if I add anything to the cloth before using it? The box doesn't mention any ingredients other than fabric; and the cloth refills have no chemical odor or feel to them. I don't add anything to the cloth before using it. From what I've read about them, they need to be dry to work best. It's the structure of the cloth itself that grabs and holds the amazing amount of stuff that what looks like a clean floor can have on it.

The shampoo and conditioner both have a sweet flowery smell to them. I haven't used the packet in a long while, but I seem to recall that it does not have much of an odor at all.

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.
