This. I wash them once a week and shower every day so I use it 6/7 times before washing it. Essentially all your towel is absorbing is water and if you hang them up and don't leaving them lying around all scrumped up then once a week is perfectly acceptable, every time is ridiculous. It's like those families that say they only fill up one bin bag a week

After every time I've used them, the thought of reusing a towel to dry yourself is disgusting because you're essentially not really clean the next time

it's no wonder you are ill every 5 minutes Josy, expose yourself to a few germs and lead a healthy lifestyle, I literally can't remember the last time I had a cold, it has been well over a year

I actually wonder if you're my Mother with a secret account on here, Cherie

Very true, though.

I like to air dry


But yeah like once a week (maybe more depending what I've used it for ) I've never even considered washing towels after every use, it seems really excessive/wasteful to me.

Yeah, exposure to germs is a good thing within reason, and it's needed to keep your immune system from weakening. It makes you stronger and healthier in the long run. A towel that's been used on a clean body, that itself dries soon after, can't hold too many germs I'd imagine... probably just the right amount

Depends, if you have a bath then you're not really clean at all, you're just wiping the dirty water off of you

Yes if you leave it in a wet heap, pick it up and hang it, outside on the washing line, good to go

Might make the bacteria dormant I suppose (I mean, probably wouldnt, cba to google, but they definitely wont thrive outside as much as they would when leaving it in the bathroom or an airing cupboard, so theres at least half a point there!). Its just not gonna kill'm like a washing machine would, you're still gonna be drying yourself by rubbing bacteria on to your body after a shower!

I have quite a lot of towels (and a couple for my cat ) so I don't use them up enough to wash them all at once. But any I have used I wash every weekend along with the rest of my dirty laundry

There are far more germs (1000x more) on your phone, keyboard and steering wheel than there will be on a 1 week old towel

and you do not get ill using these germ infested items so..

Do you wipe your phone and steering wheel all over your body to dry-clean yourself though?
