The package says simply to machine wash and dry these towels. A tag on the individual towels says to wash in detergent and VINEGAR. What??

I would disregard that tag. A simple wash in the washing machine is sufficient.

Vinegar in the rinse cycle can do many things - preserve the color, act as fabric softener, and help stop things like pet hair from clinging. I use it especially on dark fabrics and have no need for fabric softener or dryer sheets anymore. Oh and you won't smell it on your dry clothes at all. You don't have to use the vinegar, detergent alone will get the job done but I prefer adding vinegar.

Many new fabrics, particularly towels, were washed first with fabric softener to make them fluffy looking. This should be removed to make them more water absorbent,and adding vinegar also helps to set the color, especially for bright fabrics.

We wash it in the washer with everything else. Vinegar would probably be used to remove smelly stuff. Maybe vinegar is another word for water in Bangladesh.

I wash these towels along with my other towels using hot water, liquid detergent, and crucially NO fabric softener (softener fills up the little nooks and crannies in the fabric and negatively affects its absorbency). I guess you could, as others have said, use vinegar if you want to give the towels a good cleaning.

I just wash them in the washing machine in hot water with normal detergent and dry them in the dryer without fabric softener. I use them in the kitchen for everything, including fine straining, hence not using fabric softener. IF they get really greasy, you can throw a cupful of vinegar into the washer with them.

Hi - the only thing the package says is to wash on delicate cycle. When I wash mine, I use the quick wash cycle on my machine and put them on a drying rack to dry. It doesn't say they can't go in the dryer though.

I wash them in the machine, under "sterilization." It works well. I do NOT dry them. I let them air-dry.

We recommend washing the towels before the first use. First, a wash will remove any impurities that the towels may have acquired during transportation and storage (it is always a good rule to wash any linen before using it). Second, the towels will become softer and more absorbent after a couple of washes, and will lose any remaining lint. We recommend washing in either hot or cold water and with or without bleach (at the customer's preference). We recommend drying in low heat to minimize shrinking. However, many customers choose to dry in high heat either out of convenience (with other linens) or because they believe it results in cleaner towels.I hope this helps.LisaLiliane Collection We recommend washing the towels before the first use.

Wash them by hand and hang them up to dry. The packaging has instructions also.

I stopped using them before I needed to wash them. But I'm sure just wash them in a machine then hang dry.

I haven't needed to wash them yet. I'll need to check the label, but can't at the moment. I'm thinking it may be gentle wash and low temp for dryer.

No they are not. Ginsu recommends hand washing with mild detergent and towel drying right in the "use & care" paper included. Obviously some chose not to read or follow that information.

I'm sorry, I don't know. I bought these as a gift for someone else. My best guess is to let them soak in Dreft or other mild detergent for 30 min and then let them air-dry or dry on low in the dryer.

Wash towels tend to sour quickly. I can just rinse these out or toss into the dish washer. They can be washed over and over again. They can not be put back on the roll once removed.

I have not had this problem, with these towels, but I have with dish towels. Try a splash of vinegar in your washing machine.

They say hand wash only, and I'm guessing that's best. They're 100% polyester and have pretty cheap (though cute!) details on them that probably wouldn't survive in the washing machine. Definitely no dryer -- they'd melt!

I don't know what you are supposed to do but I put them in a laundry bag in put them in the washing machine on cold. My washing machine doesn't have an agitator. They were pretty much dry after the spin cycle.

It says you can machine wash; I have not done that yet. This will be my first time washing, however, I will was separately or possibly with cleaning cloths. I would not wash with my clothes or towels.

Sounds like a question for the manufacturer. I certainly wouldn't machine wash or dry them. We have an Oreck Steam-It for our floors. I use it on the mats. If you steam them like this, they will be damp all the way through, so I lay them across our wood laundry rack until dry.

I just put them in the washing machine using hot water with regular laundry soap and then dry them on the normal setting. Sometimes I use a soak setting beforehand.
