Another "how often" question

[shihtzulover850]

i use it for about a week and then change it. we also wash our bath towels once a week

I'd say maybe once a week or two weeks. I usually wash it when I do a load of laundry and remember to run to the bathroom to grab my towles. Most of the time I forget.

I use a fresh towel every time I bathe. I have always insisted on a fresh towel. I have hordes of them, since I used to have limited water access for laundry, so I can go a long time before I run out of towels. My mom taught me how to wash my own towels when I was very young. Even as a little kid, I had a towel fetish!

I'm another one of those picky people who has to have a clean towel when I bathe. My husband re-uses, though, and his gets changed whenever I get ready to wash a load of towels, so about twice a week or so, I guess. I wash towels about once or twice a week.

Sheets and towels are changed once a week. (I can't remember if I responded to the *sheets* thread. ) I, too, go on the assumption that when I use a bath towel I am already clean. I would probably do them more if I didn't feel they were drying out between uses. Here I am not so concerned about the cost of water as I am the cost of electric to dry them!

Amen, Pam! LOL!!!!

I was sort of figuring that the ones who used a fresh towel everyday must NOT be the ones doing the laundry!!! Glacier proved me wrong!!!

Bath towels, wash clothes, etc. are all washed per use.

I take showers 2-3 times a day, so usually when I take my second/third shower the previous towel is still wet! With such long hair, it's difficult to dry with an even slighlty damp towel.

And yes, I wash my own towels and laundry!

Towels are a HUGE thing with me!! They get stinky so easily! I will rarely use a towel more than twice before doing a load in the washer with whatever odor-eliminator I happen to have. Like my Mom said, if the towels sit in the washer for more than an hour or two they get rewashed with more odor-eliminator! I go through so much Febreeze laundry stuff, but it's a necessary expense. I won't go near hubby if he has dried off with a "stale" towel. Yuck!

I have a very sensitive nose To me, a stale towel screams "germs and mildew!!!!"

We recently bought some white towels just so that I can use bleach on them every time I wash them!

[MariaM]

Hmmm I use a new one every time.

Growing up I used a fresh towel every time I bathed but now I get a fresh one about every second or third shower.

All my family (there are four of us) use a fresh towel everyday,and some of us shower more than once daily, especially my son, as he goes to the gym and plays sport as well as work, and likes to shower after each, my daughter uses one for her hair and one for her body, so yes i have a ton of washing to do, but there is something about a lovely fresh towel that i just love, so i will continue to be a slave to the washing machine.
