Would love to have clean white towels in the kitchen-how do you keep them nice and white?

I would not recommend these towels to anyone....they are crap. They are made out of the same material that bed sheets are made of. They do not absorb water at all and you can't even use them as hand towels. If you do buy these, just don't get them too dirty and use bleach when you wash them. Sorry for the negativity, but I thought you should know.

I know how you feel! I always keep a different set for other spills and one for just my dishes etc... I also bleach them. You will find that bleaching them works very well, which is why I buy white...No soap just bleach also, Shout works well too if you are not a bleach user...Just make sure you let it set a while first...Hope this helps...Good luck! !/8 cup per wash load...

WAsh with other whites; use bleach. Actually, these towels don't break down with bleach like other (better) flour-sack towels. In fact, I don't think these are really flour sack towels at all.

I use Shout Advanced and let it sit on there for hours or overnight. Works well. Yes, it's a chemical... but in this case- I think it's worth it! Got red melted dye candle wax out of a vintage white table cloth!

We use only 2 a day so they don't get grimy and pre-soak them in Borax. Launder them with whites and bleach.

I have not had this problem, with these towels, but I have with dish towels. Try a splash of vinegar in your washing machine.

I wish I knew... I keep rewashing them, but it doesn't get them white again. Maybe soaking in bleach and water would work. Good lick!

They do have a white finish on them that stops them from molding.They can not handle heavy loads like towels.

Check out the photo of the light brown towels. The bath towels are squeezed into the bottom four sections; the hand towels into the middle four sections; and the wash clothes into the top four sections. A little practice, and you'll be fine.

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 would use a gentle dish soap or maybe a spray household cleaner if they're really grimy. Just don't let any liquid run down inside!

I got the white ones and I love them so much. I use them instead of getting paper towels. They absorb wonderful. I did not get the fuschia color.

I just wash and dry them like I would any towel. Not sure if this recommended but it works. I've had mine for a year with weekly washing a and they are in great shape. When possible I love to line dry!

Cleaning is fairly simple. Use a slightly damp towel (preferably microfiber) and wipe gently. Lightly agitate little specs that tend to stick on the mat. Excellent mats for the kitchen area.

Well, Gee, I don't know what you're planning to hang on it, but we have three big bath towels, a few hand towels and a couple of wash cloths hanging on ours with no problem. Perhaps perhaps you should consult Ikea.

i wash in very hot water with bleach. They come out relatively clean, not as white as new, but most of the dirt is gone

I wash them after use and dry them in the dryer--don't take any longer than any other towel. Never used bleach on them.

A bit of dish detergent and a cloth or sponge works fine...just be sure to rinse well to get soap off.

Cuisnart says to hang them so they don't get scratched. I don't have any way to do that, so I just put a couple of paper towels in the bottom before I stack them. It seems to work.

Super easy to clean. I use a wet rag or any sort of surface cleaner. They are like plastic so you can use anything.
