Do you reuse your towels?

I agree, it is weird to me not to reuse, and IMHO very wasteful. I do towels/sheets on a Wednesday, so we reuse for a week and they get swapped out then. I have two towels (one for hair, one for body) that I hang on my rack and my DH has his own rack. Never have a problem with towels not drying or getting "funky".

Yes, that's what the towel rack is for, to hang up my wet towel when I'm done.

I'm not doubting you, but have to wonder about the "science" behind this train of thought. I have an aunt who feels the same exact way, so you're not alone! I'm a pretty big germaphobe, but I guess this one doesn't bother me

I'm not a germaphobe but I did make the mistake of reading what can live on re-used towels and it completely grossed me out. Sometimes ignorance IS bliss

Reuse on body ~3-4 days, then use it for my hair 2-3 days, then it goes in the laundry, so 1 towel a week.

I like to air dry too, so the towel isn't used that much for the body.

We reuse them several times - I live in an apartment most of the time and can't handle all the laundry piling up.

I'm amazed someone doesn't dry off, I have to powder myself all over before I can even think of getting dressed. I can't stand it if my undies stick to my behind.

We shower 1 time a day, reusing towels for a week (Sunday to Sunday). Is that gross?

nope, just using resources wisely
