Can these towels be bleached?

I have bleached they every time they're washed, and have had no issues at all.

I haven't tried bleaching, but I imagine you could if you are very careful, it would probably make the extension deteriorate quicker. They can be dyed, because I used a natural coloring product (Herbatint) to get the color closer to mine and had no problem.

I think putting them in the dishwasher would probably be a bad idea, due to the heat of the water. You might try using a paste of baking soda and water, and scrub them with an old toothbrush. Other than that, soaking in a mild detergent and water overnight could help. I'm afraid bleach would have a bad effect on the plastic, causing deterioration over time. Just my opinion! I haven't tried any of this on this item in particular.

I use bleach regularly and they are great. I don't use fabric softener in the washing machine but I do use a dryer sheet. The towels are terrific and they haven't degraded at all.

Yes, they are intended for that purpose. Wash them in hot, soapy water after use and, for greater security, you can dip them in a dilute solution of bleach.

I haven't used bleach, but I have washed it and I imagine it might work fine. It's off-white, notwhite, so bleach might lighten it up a bit.

I am not sure about that because I have never used flour sack towels before, but I can tell you that if you follow the care instructions, they are the best kitchen towels I have ever had. They are absorbent and they take to being bleached really well. I bought this set and then purchased the bigger version. Hope this helps.

Yes, I have washed them with my other whites and have used Clorox bleach on them :) So far they are holding up well for inexpensive towels. The only draw back is that they are thin but, in truth, I am comparing them to thicker Turkish white towels I purchased from Lands End :) otherwise, these are great for the price!

Kind of...the instructions say you can. I've owned a couple of them and they are long-lasting. The first one I didn't wash in the machine and it lasted forever, the second one I washed in the machine and it seemed like it started getting rips in it soon afterwards. If you buy a white mat, bleach should be fine, it will make the blue mat "cloudy" with light blotchy areas. Did I answer your question?

bleaching them will ruin them. and...these can only be washed in cold soapy water there for dye will not stay in plus they are black and you can't dye black red. The reason I know these things is because I have worked at a dry cleaners for 11 yrs and I wear these at work every day as well.

They take dye very well, however if you want them to last longer, I would not recommend bleach, you can bleach, but they will become very damaged, but it's whatever you want to do.

I have not used bleach or fabric softener; as softener tends to decrease absorbtion aftee a period of time. I have used prewash and washed in hot water. They are feels great I would recommend.

Not that I have seen so far. I have black towels and haven't seen any bleaching on them. This product is amazing and isn't harsh at all. I am in love and wish I have discovered this product sooner.

I haven't tried bleaching but they are 100% cotton. When I had a restaurant, I always used spray n wash (now called resolve). Less caustic than bleach and did amazing stain removal on cotton napkins. The trick is to get to the stains quickly (after your guests leave, of course!).

Yes. I like them very well. A great deal for the money. One reason that towels lose their absorbency, is due to fabric softener, which coats the towels and they are no longer absorbent. If you stay away from the fabric softener, they will last a long time.

No, these do not contain bleach. Regular detergent, minus the scent and colors.

Don't see why not though I personally don't use bleach on anything that goes against my skin. Regular washing works fine.
