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!

No, they have no odor...and my husband has accused me of having an overly sensitive ability to smell odors! Ha! I did wash them first in cold water before using them.

although I read on some of the reviews that they did have an odor, I personally did not experience this. Mine smelled just fine. In fact, I bought these to replace some that I had washed and caused to develop an odor.

I washed them in soap and water after receiving but I have not noticed an odor.

I always soak them in warm soap water before I scrub. I do not have any issues with smell

The towels are 12" wide and about 30' long. I have two, a pink one and a purple one. I wash them after every use and storm them in the containers they came in. There is no smell, no mildew, no problem storing them wet. They wrap around your neck or you can lay them across your lap if you are sitting. They are the best cooling item I have ever bought. They are great for sports, walking, or just sitting watching sports.

I bought them for their absorbency and workhorse quality. For show? Perhaps if they were freshly washed. I don't do much for show so can't really comment.

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.

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.

We haven't had a problem with it smelling like mildew. We let it air dry between uses.

I did not wash them before the first use and had no qualms about it. That said, the towels are more absorbent after the first washing. Once the order is placed, the company will send an email with care instructions. I continue to enjoy this product.

The write up with them says they are.I haven't bleached them yet, but they are great; absorbent and nice feeling, no that stiff thing that some others have. I use them for gym towels because they're a good size and i won't have a coronary if I leave one behind. :)

They are very thick towels and quite heavy. They are very absorbent. I am very please with my order.

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.

We've been using it for 4 months and have not experienced a mildew smell. We hang it in the shower to dry right after bathing.

I did not have an odor problem with mine, maybe there is something wrong with yours? I am thinking you are talking about something like that new shower curtain smell; I wash those or spread them on the back porch a couple of days to get rid of that....

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.
