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!

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

Yes. I run them in the delicate cycle. I love these towels. They're super light weight and although they feel really wet after drying yourself off, they dry out really fast when you hang them.

very absorbant and dry a lot faster than cloth towels so do not get that sour smell. No they cannot be put back on the roll but I just fold them and put them in my kitchen towel drawer.

No babe they are not. They are terry cloth and need to be washed like towels. Nice though.

These towels are not a traditional towel, they are made of finely spun cotton and are more similar to a bed sheet, as in a woven material, then a cotton loop traditional towel. I've actually started using these towels over my regular bath towels because they are just so soft after only a few washes and dry super fast so they don't get smelly like a bath towel does.

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 would say yes. I've had mine for over a month now and they're just as absorbent as they were after the first wash.

I just wash them same as my regular towels. See no difference in the results.

I'm not sure if they will or not. When I went on vacation, it hung inside the shower for four days and dried as quickly as the mesh. I haven't noticed any mildew, but you could always use a mild cleaner on the straps just in case.

They do have a lot of lint.......haven't found a towel that doesn't.....the Egyptian cotton is the best towels I have found and these specific ones are just great......I now have six and plan to order more. I think the amount of lint will diminish with each washing.....but think you will always have lint from them. Hope this is helpful.....I would suggest you try a couple (they come in twos) and I believe you will be very happy with them.

I washed mine in warm soapy water when I got them and let air dry. No smell

I haven't washed them, but I wouldn't hesitate to throw them in the wash. They are very durable and stiff.

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

no, after washing them initially with warm, soapy water, they have no odor. great product!

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.

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.
