About a week and a half ago, I blogged about kitchen towels and how I wasn’t finding really absorbent ones. You guys offered some great ideas and suggestions, both here and on Facebook and Twitter.
By the way, several of you mentioned the don’t-use-fabric-softener-when-laundering-your-towels tip. I agree. Using softener really does seem to hinder the absorbency.
Anyway, there was an overwhelming sense of loyalty to a particular brand of kitchen towels that convinced me to give them a try. Williams-Sonoma. Many of you have been using & loving these towels for many, many years. So I’m on my way to becoming convinced myself. We picked up these and these.
Today is Day One of using the towels and I have to say … things are looking good. These towels just may have a bright future in our kitchen.

I love the W-S towels….I get them at the outlet and love them…
We have WS towels too, and I love them! I buy them by the dozens on clearance! Happy drying!
I have the striped ones you show and LOVE them!
I love the striped W-S towels. Like the first commenter, I get them at the outlet. They are fab!!!
I've had WS towels in my kitchen for 10 years and they still looks great! They are more expensive, but they're well made and pretty.
Holy cow, at $10 a pop for those white ones I would really hope they hold up!! I've never tried those but I do love other things I've purchase by WS.
I absolutely love my blue-striped WS towels. I think they hold up very well, and they look wonderful in the kitchen.
yay! the striped ones are the ones that we use and they are the best. enjoy!!
The nice thing is, they will last FOREVER! They're truly my favorite.
Thanks for the recommendation! Like you, I just can't seem to find any that absorb water!! So happy to have a new resource to try.
I live and die by the waffle-weave. I have them in just about every color… LOVE LOVE LOVE them. Enjoy, Becky!
I would love a review when you are certain. Thanks!
**learned this recently**
if you accidently wash the towel with fabric softener, or it's smelling a little yucky—boil it in water for about 20 minutes.
Especially if you are using microfiber cloths, it restores the fabric back to its original absorbency.
With the pricier towels, this would come in handy. Not sure I would bother with the cheapy ones though.
Love the towels, but my real question is what is the turqoise background on these photos?
They do look good and in your colors as well!
Thanks for the update. Will you give us another update in a week or two. If they are still awesome I would like to purchase some! Thanks
Thanks for the tips. Love the bright colors!
I'm off to try boiling my dodgy teatowels that don't dry… I'll see if that works
cant' hurt to try things once!
Thanks for the idea!
Thanks for the towel update! I think I'll have to try those towels out. I'm really tired of buying kitchen towels that don't work. Pretty is great, but in a kitchen, things have to be functional. So glad they got such great reviews. :>
100% cotton should be absorbent but the last couple of years I have noticed that they don't absorb! Very frustrating so I will look into W&S.
Thanks.
Love these towels. I have been using them for years, both when I lived at home with my parents and in my own kitchen after I got married. LOVE THEM!!
