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 have never noticed a smell with them. Are you hand washing them? Maybe try scrubbing with a little baking soda and see if that helps.

mine has no smell to them. I throw them in the wash with my whites and they come out nice and clean. I think I may have bought the wrong kind though. The last ones I had had a foam backing to them and these don't. If anyone knows which ones i'm talking about please let me know so I can buy the right ones.

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

They are very thick towels and quite heavy. They are very absorbent. I am very please with my order.

I did not have an odor problem with mine, maybe there is something wrong with yours? I am thinking you are talking about something like that new shower curtain smell; I wash those or spread them on the back porch a couple of days to get rid of that....

to the best our knowledge they are. THis is why we bought them, tho i can't say i know a lot about the standards applied and certifications checked! It matters to us because of the cultivation of cotton can be so toxic. They are nice towels though, we were pleased. At first they didn't seem to soak up as much water but when we washed them they were nicer and did. Maybethere was some sizing on them! not sure but they felt nice right away. I hope that helps!

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.

I have not noticed any but I have only washed them a few times since I got them. They seem pretty nice to me still.

I think they would be fine. They do get soft but I own embroidered towels that are pretty soft with age and they are just great.

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.

I have had these only a couple of months. I wash them often and have not had any problem with the seams or any other feature. I continue to enjoy these towels.

I am sorry, could you articulate your question again, as I am not able to understand what it is you are asking me about the towels. Thank you.

I did not have this problem. My dish towels were quite absorbent, even though they are very thin. I also do not use fabric softener when I dry them.

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

I never had a problem with a mildew smell. I washed out the cushion, twisted it (wrung it out) to remove the excess water, and hung it up to dry. I think those are the recommended care instructions. (I used it for my son, who is now 10 years old.) You should hang it up to dry after each use; it's easy to hang up in the bathtub.

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:)
