How often do you wash your towels? And how often do you completely change them with brand new towels?
I wash them weekly and was just wondering recently if I should be buying new towels to replace my 8+ year old towels.
Edit to add: I wash towels by themselves so it’s a separate load to my regular laundry. I don’t know why but the different materials seem to clean better separately. But I also have a separate towels load for dirty/oily towels (kitchen towels, cleaning rags)


I wash my towel after ever use.
Like, you whip it off your shoulders and lash it out at a monster, and just like that, the towel is dirty‽
Did you just touch a towel on the shelf? Well, it’s used now, so in the washer it goes.
Nope. Once I dry myself off it goes in the hamper.
What a waste of water and energy.
Same, but I ensure it’s fully dry before putting it in the hamper. So usually a couple of hours later, or just before I next need a towel I replace it.
They start to build the funk if you throw them in there wet.
I make fun of you a bit, but it’s sensible. Beats using the same towel too often.
