Does this towel bleed? Do you have to wash the towel separately in its own load each time you want to wash it?

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.

I washed them in one group with nothing else for the first wash and the yellow darkened as if the blue, green and red bled. But all of the other colors look great. I have since washed the bibs multiple times with other items and have not had any bleeding. I separate whites, lights and darks when I wash but don't do a specific load for reds.

I've always washed mine, and never noticed any issues. Washed it quite a few times, actually

Mine did. It was gross. I couldn't use it. I had even tried washing it numerous times beforehand.

I wash mine in the washing machine along with a load of towels. It comes out looking new.

No, not at all. In fact I have washed it several times without any issues. It's really a good sized curtain. Not cheap and tiny. Made with thick cotton.

I've never used mine since I'm saving it for when the power goes out. However, it'll probably fit one bath towel in it. You probably should soak it for at least a half hour during the wash cycle to ensure it gets really clean.

I purchased a blue one. It did bleed BUT I FIXED IT. Purchased 2 boxes of Rit dye remover from craft store. Used stove top method, boiled for 30 minutes. Rinsed, washed and repeated with the second box. NO MORE BLEEDING. Even when washed with a whites. The towel is still blue, the whites are pure white. Towel still works great.

Separate from regular wash - avoid fabric softener, etc... [I do wash with microfiber towels.]

I got it all over a couple bath towels and a white wash rag. I washed them normally and it came out no problem. I also got it on a robe. It washed right up.

I personally can't compare it to the older version, but would say during my use over a weekend at the beach where it got wet and had some sunny time and shady time on the laundry line it had a lot of potential to stink but never really did. I washed the towels pretty quickly when we got home as well. Just take care of it! I machine wash on a gentler cycle and then have done the dryer with no heat (dries quickly with a small load) and it's holding up well so far.

No. It's very absorbent and relatively thin - especially when compared to a conventional towel. The surface does have some tooth to it though - it feels a little like a thick chamois cloth when it's dry. It is easy to wring it out and then if you hang it up it dries quickly.

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.

I think so. First couple times I did it, I made a big mess too. Should be thicker, not runny. I still put a paper towel down.
