How often should you wash towels?

Just each week. It's only the two of us using them. And we are drying freshly showered bodies!;)

I wash/refresh my bathroom towels once a week

Weekly

Many Occasions if necessary

When I feel like it, there are many situations and no one answer here. Just know that once someone has bathed and used a towel to dry, the towel is not dirty it's damp and needs to dry out. Can be used again and again if one wants to.

I only use towels/wash cloths, once.

Yikes!!!, I could say more but Yikes is good.

bacteria. bath towels are ok for the week but wash clothes should be washed after every use.

:wave::lol: Yikes? I never really thought about it but I thought just about everybody only used towels/wash cloths once. There was another thread about this same thing. It just surprises me. Please I'd like to hear your thoughts about that. I must be a germaphobe.

I am NOT a germaphobe and doing as I have in this long life and no major health issues, I must be doing something RIGHT., Germaphobes I believe and have seen it are those with OCD tendencies and perfection vs progress thinking. So many I see make work for themselves that is not necessary but they have their wiring....

I have no problem whatsoever, picking up a piece of food that has fallen on my house floor and picking it up and continuing on eating. Would I pick it up from the street, probably not. If something dropped in the grass would I pick it up and eat it, probably not as pesticides and other toxins would be in the grass..

What is it a 3 minute rule about something on the floor and picking it up.

As I see it every time you use a wash cloth you are washing it. Is your face so full of bacteria that you require extra help. ummm

My face does not get dirty and my routine is often some nice hottish water and a little cleaner in my hands and wash my face....and I also use wipes around my house and toss them in trash once used.

We’re supposed to wash towels? :confused:

But they’re your own germs. Your germs are good.

:wave::lol: The only thing I can agree on is when you said . . we all have our wiring and some might be making more work for themselves, which is probably true. But I HAVE to have a fresh washcloth/towel every time. :)

BTW, When you drop food on the floor, that's the 5 SECOND rule, NOT the 3 MINUTE rule. :):D And, if I drop food on the floor, it's a wrap for me. :) These ways have been working for me all this time, so I must be doing something right, too.
And don't get me wrong, I know I've probably have had food that's been dropped on the floor, from a restaurant, but, at least I didn't KNOW about it.:lol: Another good reason to pray before you eat.

You have to??? Not my business how often one washes towels etd.

I use paper towels in the kitchen for hands. A towel for the oven door is washed weekly. Pot towel washed more frequently. Towels for showering washed after every use, obviously.

that's only if you rinse it thoroughly. for the record, i wash off makeup so for me, i got enough cheap ones to fill up a full washing machine load. my face is definitely dirty!!!

Ah yes, those make up wearers, I have not used any for 20 yrs or so but I did for years and often used make up remover stuff.
