I bought these towels after using them at my sister's house. They were great at her house. My towels, on the other hand, are not absorbent and even after washing them multiple times (using no fabric softner or dryer sheets) just smear the water across the dish or glass. Any suggestions?-2486246

I have used these for the past 15+ years. No chlorine bleach or fabric softener. When they start to look a little dingy, take a few of them and soak in hot water with Oxiclean or some other oxygen based stain remover. Then launder with a nominal amount of soap. As to why yours are not absorbing moisture, the only reason I can think of is you might be using too much laundry soap, thus repelling the water. And any fabric softener would do the same thing.
