^^I guess math is failing you... 4 weeks w/ 2 towels = 2 weeks per towel (and I don't always shower at home, so it isn't a full 2 weeks use per towel either)
meh

I mean aren't you getting clean in the shower? why the hell would you only use a towel twice. I use mine for about a week. Or however long it takes me to need to do a load of darks. so sometimes 6 or 5 days. 10/30/2010 11:57:09 AM |

I used to get a week out of my towels. Now with the new place which has a slightly less useful washer and dryer the towels don't get as clean so only a few days.
Hoping to replace the old units in the next year or so. 10/30/2010 12:55:30 PM |
richthofen All American 15758 Posts user info edit post |
Between 3 days and a week. Depends on when I happen to notice "man I've been using this thing a few days", when I happen to do laundry, and if it starts to smell a bit less than fresh.
Growing up I lived in a household where towels got washed after one use. The parents still do so, though one part of it now is that they insist that the rather nice tile shower surround that got replaced a few years ago be wiped down to dry it off after every shower, so it gets used for that at least. 10/30/2010 12:59:58 PM |

Same for my clothes, until its visibly dirty or smells bad (though for clothes its until it doesn't smell fresh or doesn't smell like anything at all). Washing things more than that is wasteful.

usually a few showers when I decide, "yuck I don't want to use that towel". and get a new one.
I own 20-30 nice towels so Its alright (don't use them all, maybe 15 in rotation). can't imagine owning less than five. but then I hate that laundry. 10/30/2010 1:41:09 PM |

i wash them after 2-3 uses. my mom is one of those 1 use, one wash with BLEACH types. I like colored towels, personally. but I will use vinegar or ammonia if one got balled up too long.
plenty of the stink comes from bacteria, yeast and mildew. you can get athletes foot, jock itch or similar from having the organism build up in your towel, especially if you use public shower areas or have a lot of roommates/family member. I got it in my armpit once in the dorm, it was awful 10/30/2010 2:57:18 PM |

2-3 times. The water starts growing bacteria and what not. Thats why they can't use towels to dry off dishes in restaurants. Once they get wet, bacteria can grow.
Of course this is what some random person told me once so I don't know if it's legit, but it's good enough for me 10/30/2010 3:41:45 PM |

I'm pretty sure I just read somebody say they wash their towel once ever 4 weeks.

Once a week. I hang mine flat in a well ventilated area (and let the sun hit it daily in the morning/afternoon) after every use so it dries up quickly and doesn't accumulate smells.

Or you guys are idiots for hanging them some place where it is damp and confined and dark, and maybe it is doubled up while hanging (behind bathroom door, etc).
Or you guys have OCD.
