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 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 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.

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!

there is no odor that I have noticed. They do make a little noise when you have them in your dryer, but your sheets and towels come out great. Plus they are really cute.

No. They are light re useable dish cloths. Just use your own disinfectant cleaner. The great part is they dry quickly so no mildewy smell in summer.

No, not at all. I washed my newest set before using them for the first time & they did great. I have a set that I've had for about 12 years now that are still perfect.

I'm not aware of them smelling . . . I keep them in a cabinet that's enclosed and I can't say that I've ever smelled them. More important to me is that they're heavy enough not to tear and I've never found any rips or holes in them.

I bought them for their absorbency and workhorse quality. For show? Perhaps if they were freshly washed. I don't do much for show so can't really comment.

I'm not sure but I would guess it is the thread count. I know that these are very nice towels.

Yes I believbe they are. I have not had any problems with mine, and with my many medical issues, I have not had any new issues, and the towel has worked out far better then I ever thought possible. Hope this helped.

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. They are highly absorbent after a good washing, but they are definitely not waterproof.

The towels are 12" wide and about 30' long. I have two, a pink one and a purple one. I wash them after every use and storm them in the containers they came in. There is no smell, no mildew, no problem storing them wet. They wrap around your neck or you can lay them across your lap if you are sitting. They are the best cooling item I have ever bought. They are great for sports, walking, or just sitting watching sports.

Yes. I wash these towels together in a small load on delicate cycle with regular detergent, no bleach. Then I just hang them in the basement to dry. If you have accidentally dropped one of these on the ground while using them on the car, be sure to remove any tiny bits of gravel, dirt, thorns, etc. by hand before washing, as these particles really cling to the fabric.

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.

absolutely. i wash them by hand. I have used them numerous times since I purchased them last August.
