Does this towel bleed? Do you have to wash the towel separately in its own load each time you want to wash it?

I've never used mine since I'm saving it for when the power goes out. However, it'll probably fit one bath towel in it. You probably should soak it for at least a half hour during the wash cycle to ensure it gets really clean.

I really an't help you. Mine has never gotten wet lucily so I don't know if it bleeds or not. Sorry!

Separate from regular wash - avoid fabric softener, etc... [I do wash with microfiber towels.]

I would never bleach the towel. I wash it in hot water and sometimes add a little bit of white vinegar to the wash cycle.

My oldest eQua mat towel is at least 3 years old, washed many times, and it feels just as soft/comfy as my newer ones that have only been washed once or twice. I wash using cold water only and tumble dry low without dryer sheets/softener. I'm always amazed by how "new" my old towel looks once I've put it through the wash. The Manduka company has great customer service, so if you do have a problem, contact them!

Yep! I've washed mine 4 or 5 times now. It says to wash it alone. I don't know why, but I do. Cold, gentle and air-dry. Comes out great!

I swim 3 - 5 days a week. I bought this towel because I thought it would be easier to take due to the smaller size than a regular towel and would dry much faster. I LOVE IT! I have not had any issues with this towel! I would buy again in a heart beat! It did not shrink. I do wash on gentle. I can't remember if it is just me or if I was told to when it arrived. I did use a "color catcher" on the first wash, though the sheet of color catcher did not collect any color. It was still white just like when I put it in the washer. I definitely LOVE using this towel!!!

never had this experience. I've laundered them a few times, and I have an upright high efficiency machine, which tends to be rougher on everything, but I haven't noticed any issues with these towels.

I think so. First couple times I did it, I made a big mess too. Should be thicker, not runny. I still put a paper towel down.

My wife washed one of ours with my white shirts, all of my shirts have a green tint to them. Since then we have bought 3 more, I washed all three before we used them. I've never had any after washing bleed into any of my clothes.

Hon it stains clothes forever I usually use an old tshirt and first wash it will bleed on to the towel I recommend using a dark one .. Be careful of your surfaces ! (Counters and such ) hope it helps ! Very good long lasting color though !

I didn't. I bought the towel because of the great reviews, but my experience was somewhat worse than most others. I did take the seller up on his offer to refund the price and purchase somebody else's, and he did that without question. I gave the product two stars, but he definitely gets five stars for service.I got the Viking towel, and one is sufficient to dry each of my cars.

No, the humidity turns the towel to mush in a matter of a day or less. The parts are easy to clean... I would recommend just following the regular process.

I haven't. I only used it once so far but I didn't wash it the same day and when I fina got around to it, it came clean really easy. No staining.

Wash it alone right away first! I bought blue, washed it cold, and first time the water looked like dyeing easter eggs. The second time, there was only a little color bleed. mike

I wash mine in the washing machine along with a load of towels. It comes out looking new.
