Do these towels dry fast after a shower. We need towels that don't stay wet all day.

no they don't. I love the look of the towels but they do not absorb water at all. I have never used a towel like this before that just glides over the water after taking a shower.

Towels will still be dry after shower. Very decorative. Tough to wash. The shedding and the lint factor is annoying. I bought maroon, so I have maroon lint all over me after shower. I've had these towels for months and I constantly wash them hoping the lint will wash away. The wash cloths only lasted for a few washings, they shredded, had to throw them away. I use the hand towels for decoration, haven't washed them very much. My advice for wet towels is dry them by spreading them out on the towel rack and leave bathroom door open so towels can air dry.

Drying time -- I have a high speed spin wash machine to extract as much H2o and drying time is no longer than other towels of much lighter weight --- Bleach -- I have not used bleach.

Yes, wet towels will be very hot after 15-20 minutes when put in wet. It works very well.

I wash them after use and dry them in the dryer--don't take any longer than any other towel. Never used bleach on them.

Yes, I love them. I have always used these flour sack towels for drying dishes. I do have a dishwasher, but so many this I just wash anddry by hand,like pots and pans, etc. They are almost impossible to find locally, so I ordered these just recently and think they are great.

As best I can tell,yes. They dry extremely quickly. I use them in lieu of paper towels. Super absorbent, easily washed and dried.

How you take care of your towels (when washing and drying) have a lot to do with how absorbent and soft towels continue to be over a long time. Just do a Google search andyou will find out how to wash and dry towels and how to make your hard, nonabsorbent towels like new again.

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.

The point of a towel warmer is not to necessarily use it to dry towels after they are used (which seems to be in the implication of question/comment), but to warm up one you are about to use (as, for example, you exit a shower on a cold winter day).

From my experience it absorbs fast. It dries out moderately slow. If wet from stepping out of a shower, probably several hours to dry minimum. If washed, I dry it in my dryer for 1hour med heat and lay it out rubber side up for 30+ min for rubber backing to dry.

Sorry...the ones I purchased are not very absorbent, even after washing. the matching washcloths are not great either.

I find them fairly quick to dry. I haven't hand washed though, only machine. They do come virtually dry from the machine so if you have a warmish spot to put them overnight I think they would be fine. I would test them at home first, and take two pairs so you can rotate if they are still damp.

I soak in the bathroom sink for 30 minutes then do a quick hand wash and wash them with my towels.. that way the same material is being washed at the same time.. Haven't had any problems.

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 think any tri-fold towel will work. I've tried all three tri-fold towels sold at CostCo (different plys, sizes and number of towels for each type) and they all work fine. FWIW, I've spent far too much time analyzing all three towels CostCo sells and found that it generally takes TWO towels to dry my hands, no matter which one I buy, so now I buy the one that has the best price per towel.

I purchased two separate towels (only one comes in a package), and while they were not very large, they absolutely served us well. I now use them to dry my big dog after bathing. They are very absorbent.

Since they're cotton terrycloth, they will absorb water and dry the dishes, but I wouldn't use them for that purpose because they're too small. Plus, terrycloth can leave lint behind, whereas a plain cotton dishtowel wouldn't. Still, I have used hand towels (also terrycloth, but larger than a washcloth) as a dishtowel. Not my preferred choice, but like I said, it will dry the dishes.
