Another "how often" question

I use a new towel every time I shower.

I usually go through about 2 bath towels a week and then I wash them together. It seems like my husband Eric is constantly doing laundry, I have no idea what he's washing but I wait and do my laundry only once a week to save water and energy.

All towels, dish, bath and otherwise get washed once a week, but not together. Sheets also get washed once a week. All on Tuesday.

I split laundry up so I run a couple of loads everynight and none, or very little at least, on the weekend. I do the same with house cleaning.

Bath towels here only get used once before washing, but the one hanging in the bathroom to dry hands on gets washed once a week or so. We've got a closet full of bath towels so no worries about using them more than once. At school I probably go two weeks or so before washing mine. I've got two though so it takes a month before I wash them. Same idea- I'm clean when they are used.

Dish towels get used way too much before getting washed. I always get a new one out when I need it because I know they often fall on the floor and get kicked around before somebody picks it up and puts it back on the towel bar.

Sheets/bedding, gosh, my mom does them maybe 2-4 times a year. At school I do them once a month because I have fleece sheets and they get flattened out and don't feel soft anymore. I often spray them with fabric refresher several times between washings.

Around here, we use a fresh bath towel everytime we shower. I used to use 2-3 a week, and keep them hanging up to dry in the bathroom. But, for the last 5-6 months or so, I've been showering in my parents' bathroom and using a fresh towel is so much nicer! We do hang them up, but that's just so a wet towel isn't wadded up in the hamper.

My mom washes all of the towels and wash cloths every weekend. That includes bath towels, hand towels, wash clothes, kitchen towels, etc etc. Kitchen towels get used until they're nastily wet (doesn't take much until I get disgusted!) and get thrown to the side of the room, until it's laundry day.

It's a lot of towels - usually 1-2 FULL loads, and I've seen it be 3 loads. But that's at least 21 bath towels a week, plus anything extra if we take more than one shower a day, or the dog gets bathed, or we need another towel. Plus all of the wash cloths and other towels. It's a pretty good size hamper full at the end of the week. We just keep stacking it up until no one can lift it, and throw it down the stairs. :P

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.
