Do these towels dry fast after a shower. We need towels that don't stay wet all day.

no they don't. I love the look of the towels but they do not absorb water at all. I have never used a towel like this before that just glides over the water after taking a shower.

Towels will still be dry after shower. Very decorative. Tough to wash. The shedding and the lint factor is annoying. I bought maroon, so I have maroon lint all over me after shower. I've had these towels for months and I constantly wash them hoping the lint will wash away. The wash cloths only lasted for a few washings, they shredded, had to throw them away. I use the hand towels for decoration, haven't washed them very much. My advice for wet towels is dry them by spreading them out on the towel rack and leave bathroom door open so towels can air dry.

I use warm water on a regular wash cycle. I don't machine dry them, seems like I saw somewhere not to, also not to use hot water, though that might be your first instinct. Most of the time they're completely dry in a couple hours when I hang them over a chair to dry, outside drying is great if your weather permits it.

They shrink a bit when first washed but when they are dry you can pull the edges back to the original size, or close. They are great towels and I would recommend them to anyone, for cleaning, wiping up stuff, drying your hands, laying your fruit and veggies on to dry after they have been washed~ I just love these towels and hope you do too!

They are great but I don't use fabric softener. The towels are not stiff out of the dryer. Very happy with this purchase

I have used old kitchen towels... as long as they are not very thick... they work great!

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.

These are amazing towels. I have three girls and they all love my towel and will be buying one for each one of them. The towel dries in seconds and it dries amazingly quick. I use it as my surf towel. Not only does it dry quick, but my girls all use mine at the beach and it dries everyone.

I think any tri-fold towel will work. I've tried all three tri-fold towels sold at CostCo (different plys, sizes and number of towels for each type) and they all work fine. FWIW, I've spent far too much time analyzing all three towels CostCo sells and found that it generally takes TWO towels to dry my hands, no matter which one I buy, so now I buy the one that has the best price per towel.

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!

Towel dry your hair so water no longer drips at all and then complete the drying process with the hot air styler. Hope this answers your question.

If it is a large downpour, yes. They are better than most I have seen with repelling the water and drying pretty fast. We try to keep our turned over if we know it is going to rain. I love the ones that I got (floral print)

No, they dry quite quickly actually. Sometimes I will want a mop effect. I have to go over the same spot about 6 times then.

I have found them to be very absorbent. They are very cushy and really soak up water. Also, btw, using less fabric softener (I use half a sheet instead of a whole sheet) can make towels more absorbent.

Personally, I don't get diredtly out of the pool and sit right on them, as I have a foam cushion beneath it. (which would surely get wet. I dry off the best I can with another towel before sitting on o lounger. The y are made of Terri Cloth, so the will absorb all you can throw at it... Hope this helps.

I wash these towels along with my other towels using hot water, liquid detergent, and crucially NO fabric softener (softener fills up the little nooks and crannies in the fabric and negatively affects its absorbency). I guess you could, as others have said, use vinegar if you want to give the towels a good cleaning.

No. They are highly absorbent after a good washing, but they are definitely not waterproof.

I wet my towels first thing in morning before appointments & I leave them in there with it on all day, but turn it off when I use the last towel. Hope that answers your question. I've never left it on over night or without towels.
