are these towels considered to be antibacterial? I am looking for facial cleansing cloths

This is a jumbo extra large towel. It takes a long time to dry, so it stays damp for a while, which is conducive to mildew and bacteria.

No towels are antibacterial unless you soak them in antibacterial soap or alcohol, etc.

No, they are not antibacterial. They are microfiber which means that they will dry quickly which will cut down on bacterial growth.

Hello, I was checking to see what the ratio of polyester/polymide was for these cloths and saw your question. I am a 'green' housecleaner and use these to remove soap scum off of shower doors and tiles! The secret is to not make the microfiber cloth too damp. Just a light spray of vinegar and water and the soap scum will rub away beautifully. However, for your bathtub, the cloth would get too damp and not be effective. I use Bon Ami scrubbing powder and a sponge (scrubber side) for the bathtub and it works really well, as does baking soda in a pinch.

These are large bath towel size. I would suggest something smaller for hair.

The dish cloth that I used last night was still damp this morning. This is not a concern for me as I use a clean one each day, but if you use the same dish cloth for a couple of days, I can understand a concern for bacteria growth. I often include these dish cloths as gifts and everyone loves them.

These are absolutely the best cloths ever. They are antibacterial. Clean with water only. Only cloth I know of that will clean bacteria off counters completely. They are wonderful to clean everywhere. I have one for kitchen, bath, windows. You'll never use anything else! Use only water to clean. They have the best products!!!

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.

The write up with them says they are.I haven't bleached them yet, but they are great; absorbent and nice feeling, no that stiff thing that some others have. I use them for gym towels because they're a good size and i won't have a coronary if I leave one behind. :)

No they are for drying hands. I have these in the bathroom instead of a towel. It is more sanitary. They are not strong enough to wash your face with.

Hello They can be the length of a standard bath drying towel, and the width is not as wide as a drying towel. I measured using the use one that came in the box of my air purifier. Same material, and it runs fine. For me it is like a 2 for 1 deal.

They are cotton terry cloth, not microfiber. They are a good weight - about like a moderately priced bath towel, not thin and flimsy. Had them just a short time, but I feel like they are good quality and should hold up to solid usage and repeated washing for many years.

They sure will work as perfect burp cloths. That is want my daughter-in-law asked for and why I purchased them here at Amazon for her. They are excellent to use for that purpose. You will enjoy them. Absorbent and easy to wash.

No. This towel is for scrubbing and exfoliating one's skin; used like a luffa.

I don't think so. I think is good as washcloth, also cleaning on the kitchen, I wouldn't dry my dishes with a bathroom towel, I will do it with a kitchen towel. They shrink when you wash them first time

absolutely! they are an all natural material. i did find it difficult to get these completely clean so i now pre-rinse them in tub, then soak in light vinegar water until wash day. otherwise they begin to have an odor because they are so absorbent its hard to get them fully rinsed and clean. but they work great all night on my toddler.

All I can say is that they are really thick and absorb a lot. I use them for cleaning so I am not the best one for a recommendation. Sorry.

they are great for things like windows and walls and dusting. You can use them dry on windows and they will remove any fingerprints etc and they don't leave little fibers behind like paper towels can. I use mine with cleaning agents on other surfaces. They make great cleaning towels that way. You can wring them out and cleaning is easy. No, they don't kill bacteria and germs by themselves but no cloth does. When you wash them, do not use fabric softener because that will effect how well they clean.

This is not antibacterial. But studies seem to be showing that washing things in hot water with good soap. I use this for everything - mopping, cleaning kitchen and baths. It is concentrated and a little bit goes a long way. I sometimes use it to pretreat spots in the laundry. It's just a great all-around soap. Mild enough to was your hands.
