Help Settle My Cleaning Debate with DH
How often do you wash your bath towels/robes?

Re: Help Settle My Cleaning Debate with DH
I use my towels for a week. The wash cycle on my washing machine for hot water wash is 3+ hours. I don't have time for that more than once a week! It's also a waste of water and electricity. My mom hates this when she comes and visits me. She washes her towels after one use.

Re: Help Settle My Cleaning Debate with DH
A few times. 2-3 times and then a new towel. I wash a load or two of towels every week. DH often drops his towel on the floor after he showers while he gets dressed, so he's more often than not, using a fresh towel each day.

Re: Help Settle My Cleaning Debate with DH
I use a towel twice before washing it. Sometimes three times if I'm desperate.  But we have so many towels, we wash them once every week, a little bit less often. We don't use bathrobes.

Another thing--I don't even have room for more than 3 towels in my apartment! I got rid of a bunch when I moved into my small place.
I want a house to do laundry and towels weekly

Re: Help Settle My Cleaning Debate with DH
I use a towel twice for my body then it becomes my "hair towel" for the rest of the week. Dh would use the same towel for a year if I didn't take it off the hook in the bathroom and force him to get a new one.  I take his down after 2-3 days. The towels only get washed once a week though, one big load!

Re: Help Settle My Cleaning Debate with DH
I use my bath towels for up to a week. I feel like it's a waste of water and time to wash them much more often than that.
Also, up until last year we never had our own washer/dryer, so we got into this habit out of necessity and laziness.

Same here.
I feel like I sound dirty but when you don't have it in house, you change your ways!

Re: Help Settle My Cleaning Debate with DH
I love that you girls have hair thick enough to require its own towel! I have very fine hair and a corner of a bath towel does the job.
To answer your question, I use it 2-3 times.

Re: Help Settle My Cleaning Debate with DH
I get new towels after 3 days. Any longer kinda yucks me out since they are constantly getting wet.

Help Settle My Cleaning Debate with DH
I wash towels once a week along with my sheets.
We live in a building and doing our laundry is a PITA.
If we had a washer/dryer in our apartment I would wash them after every 3 uses. I love the feel of a clean fluffy towel.

Re: Help Settle My Cleaning Debate with DH
I never use the towel more than once. and usually do laundry one day a week. All towels go together.
Towels hold in a lot of bacteria when wet.

Re: Help Settle My Cleaning Debate with DH
my husband showers first, then puts his towel up and i use it to dry myself and then it goes into the wash. IF we used separate towels it would be after 2xs
