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.

Yes they are. I believe my favorable review did mention these towels were "politically incorrect", which was meant to be a reference to the Kochs. While I am appalled by these guys, I was asked to review Brawny towels, not their manufacturer. If you wish to boycott Koch Brothers' products, go to http://www.boycottkochbrothers.com/ for a list.

Yes these towels really are made from linen and they do a superb job of cleaning (in general) and drying (especially glassware of any kind). Totally lint free, absorbent, and they just work super well.

I scrub my face with them and they hold up to that. They are more sturdy than wipes, which is why they are labeled washcloths. So, I think they would be perfect for scrubbing with.

Definitely. I actually got them just for that purpose when I was a BeautiControl consultant. They work great for washing faces.

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.

After I washed the Galaxy Glass Towels they were quite soft, in fact I gave some to my son and he used them as burp cloths for his new baby girl. I don't know why they wouldn't work, but you would have to test them to make sure they are soft enough to clean glasses with.

I would not recommend cotton swabs or kitchen towels. You don't have to get special cloths, but you don't want to use most things readily available, as they leave lint and fuzz. Instead, get some coffee filters, and you can use those as a good lint free cloth, that you can dispose of.

There's no reference to being organic on any website that I checked. They are dyed however as stated. I personally recommend the 900 gram Egyptian cotton towels. Expensive but they last... and are incredibly soft and absorbent. I warm them briefly in my large microwave for 30-45 seconds. Hope this helps a bit.

I see a lot of posts saying no, but the answer really depends what you mean. There are no extra antibacterial chemicals like Triclosan in these. However, like ordinary soap, this will combat bacteria.

These towels are not a traditional towel, they are made of finely spun cotton and are more similar to a bed sheet, as in a woven material, then a cotton loop traditional towel. I've actually started using these towels over my regular bath towels because they are just so soft after only a few washes and dry super fast so they don't get smelly like a bath towel does.

I'm not sure but I sure love these having these in the bathroom we have had less colds and flu so I don't think I will ever go back to a hand towel............

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.

I have not used them, these cloths are thick and soft. They are perfect for cleaning mirrors and windows, no streaks and most importantly NO LINT! I love them

These are 100% blue cotton absorbent towels. Any towel, if you use fabric softener, will not absorb water. Not sure if that is what happened to you or not. Also, some towels you have to wash maybe up to 3 times to get the sizing out before they become absorbent. I have been using these towels to wash and dry windows and cleaning up pretty much anything. Also they are great to use instead of paper towels after you have washed fruit and veggies to dry on the counter.

I'm not sure, but I think so. I use them just like cloth. They are very strong. I'm still using the first 3 after 6 months. Washed dozens of times in the washer. Air dry is best although sometimes they go in the dryer. No harm.
