How many times do you use

[RedAngie]

And I'm always fine w/ getting fresh towels every other day when we stay in hotels w/ the little "conservation" notes about the towels.
.

I follow the directions on the signs in hotel rooms and hang up my towels for reuse.

In almost every case, housekeeping takes them and replaces them with fresh towels.

In the winter, we can often go a week. It's less humid, and we have baseboard hot water heat that runs under the towel racks. Depending on the weather in the spring, summer, and fall, I wash them daily to every three days. If I go for my run at a time that requires a second shower the same day, I use a new towel and throw that one in the wash.

Towels I use 2 maybe 3 times. Some were saying they don't want to use the same towel to wipe their face as they wiped their crotch, but I don't use a towel on my face. I have 20 (yes 20) nice washcloths that I keep in MY closet and I use a clean one each time I wash my face. I use a scrunchy in the shower that I replace often but my washcloths are for my face only, lol.

Meant to add that I am the only one using said towels. I don't want to use a towel someone else has used.

Once. I'm one of "those" people.

Us too. Just can't seem to use it more then once

About every 5 days. Unless it starts to not smell like my detergent or body wash... then I break out a fresh one. The only parts I actually dry off with it are my hair, arms, and legs. Then I wrap it around me to take 7 steps to my bedroom where I proceed to air dry lol No rubbing my crotch or flossing my butt with it!

7-10 days depending on how often I've showered.
I'm squeaky clean when I'm using it so I don't think it gets THAT dirty in just one or two uses.

I wash the bath towels every time I wash clothes, which is about every 3 days. I use a bath towel and a small towel for my hair/face and hang them on towel hooks after using them.

That's so funny you said that!

A couple of weeks ago, we were in Pensacola, & there was the little note about hanging up your towels if you were okay w/ not getting fresh ones due to conservation, yadda, yadda, yadda...

So that's what we did, but we still got new towels anyway.

Once a week.

 

[dotfurio]

Once!

Wife, son (9) and I all use one shower in the house (easier to clean just one), she has a towel rack and uses hers 3-4 days. I hang my towel on the shower door and so does the kid. Since all towels are the same color I just tend to grab a new one every time as I am not sure which one the kid used last. I've suggested different colors for me to cut down on laundry, but it hasn't happened.

We shoot for once per week, but I generally start to get grossed out after about four uses. Also, I think our towels reproduce in the cabinet where I keep them, because I always seem to be getting more of them somehow.

 

[Runnergal]

Every couple of days. All of our bath towels are white; I just use whichever is the driest. I am not a germophobe and it doesn't bother me to use a towel that my dc used.

Guess I am, too.

@Forevermarypoppins,


I couldn't figure out why you quoted me? Usually it's to agree or counterpoint. My only reasoning was that in your response you emphasized a few words in CAPS to defend why you reuse towels.

That's the one thing with forums, hard to read inflection. I thought in some way my response irritated you. I was lost, and still am!

I see it now! I meant to write ME too below the quote

 

[mel&me]

once or twice at most

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

Once.. maybe this is why I do so much laundry lol

Lol! Aha, and the puzzle pieces come together.

My thoughts tend to move faster than my fingers, so I know that all too well.

Bath towels a week, the hand towels are changed more frequently as more people use them. My DD8 is a swimmer and swim towels are used once and tossed in the washer as she stands on the towel in the change room. She does a full shower after practice to remove chlorine from hair. he bath towel at home may go longer than a week as it doesn't get used a frequently as ours.

 

[Klayfish]

I only shower once a month, so... Just kidding of course...

The towels in our house go one week between washes. However, I go to the gym first thing in the morning. I have a separate set of towels I use for my shower after working out...the shower is at the gym. That only gets used once before it gets washed.
Yes, I shower at home as soon as I wake up, then 2 hours later I shower at the gym. The shower at home helps me wake up, plus I shave, brush my teeth, etc...when I leave the gym I head right to work.
