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!

So far they are. I washed my bike a couple of times since I installed them. I Mage effort to not get them wet just in case.

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....

I've had mine a year, and the answer is 'they don't shrink'. I'll never buy another kitchen towel. Honestly. Just this weekend I had to collect them from around the ranch as my son used them for rubbing compound on his truck, I used them for cleaning the hot tub, etc. Put them in the wash and they're good and absorbent as new.

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 washing instructions state to spot clean these only. I use them mainly for decoration, so it wasn't an issue.

This is the first time I've used one. But we used them for a week as our only bathing towel & there was no smell. They dry quickly too.

These towels are heavy enough and do not stretch or shrink. They should work well. The fabric is stiff and remains stiff after many washings.

I am not sure if I am answering this correctly but they are very absorbent and not a thin towel. The weave of the fabric is nice and tight.

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 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.

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.

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.

I have not had any problems with mildew, they are easy to clean. I actually use the bottom bucket for the bath toys myself.

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.

I haven't really noticed that. My kids have white towels too! I have noticed a few drops of color on my bath mat but they come out in the wash. Sorry for the delay and not really answering the question. My seven year old son LOVES these:)

I have had these only a couple of months. I wash them often and have not had any problem with the seams or any other feature. I continue to enjoy these towels.
