It is called...

...."white, The Bleach Friendly color (tm)".

Seriously though, bleach-friendly up to 50 washings? If you wash 'em once a week that's less than a year after all, and I don't know about you but I generally don't replace my towels every year and they are a variety of colors. A little oxygen bleach on the white / light ones keeps them looking nice without fading.

Gimmick.

That being said...

...I'm more interested in towels that are *really* 100% cotton including stitching, without a lot of embroidering so that I can wash 'em on hot and they retain their shape and don't shrink up around the "pattern", if you know what I mean.

Time for an Intervention

With all the free opportunities to surf the web why would one resort to Sears? Mere mention of the name makes me shiver.

I love how "Low Monthly Payment" is highlighted and very predominant on the page. Hmm, if somebody had to finance towels, maybe they don't need them to begin with.

I have rachel ray towels i got at ross dress for less.. they work well and are bleach proof.. not that i have tested this but i know it to be true

"Use 1.5 oz bleach and 1.5 oz of detergent."

That is less than 1/5 of a cup of bleach (43ml). With 15ml per tablespoon that is less than three tablespoons of bleach.

This to me reeks of B/S. what a gimmick!

I wonder also about those towels advertised to be real quick in the dryer. UHM how thin are they? Or much polyester is in them? Or how non-absorbent are they via chemical treatments?

No, thank you!

I buy nice, large, heavy, absorbent white towels at Sam's Club for about $8 apiece. They get washed in hot water with liquid chlorine bleach every week (1/3 cup in the front-loader; 3/4 cup in the top-loader). These towels are used about 7 months out of the year (I have a set of "summer" towels which I use from April-August. They dry very soft on the clothesline.)

Gimmick, indeed. 1.5 ounces of bleach...what a joke.

Bleach-Friendly towels...

didn't last long at the store I work at. They were bright colors.

I buy them.....

....at Dollar Tree....every now and again, they get shipments of plain white (hotel style) bath towels in.

I keep them with with a little 20 Mule Team borax added to my hot wash. Haven't lost a towel yet, and they're a cinch to dry.
