How often do you wash your towels?

janeym8

im terrible about washing all towels and cloths.i change tea towel at least once a day,dish cloth-although its the sponge type we use probably twice a day or more often if im doing a lot in the kitchen eg a big batch cook,hand towels we go through at least 4 a day and yes my lot wash their hands on the towels as well-why do they do that?????????? and we use out bath towels twice.with 5 people in the household i would love to wash once a week-the towels that is lol-but i dont think my laundry bin would be big enough

I change bath towels after each use.
Hand towel every other day.

don;t use tea towel - use kitchen roll instead.

I wash bath towels once a week sometimes twice , tea towels every day.
when i was a kid we had a bath once a week and shared the water with my brother and when i was very small can remember being bathed in the kitchen sink.

Another weekly washer (towels that is!!) but tea towels get changed daily.

I'm really surprised how many people wash their towels after each use. How non-moneysaving is that when it's drying a clean body: water, electricity, washing powder and effort?!

I wash my usually once a week unless I forget! But I do live on my own and share my towels with no-one else. Would probably change hand towels more regularly if I had a family.

Penny-Pincher!!

Once a week here too for towels and daily for tea towels.

I wash them everyday.

Once a week, although somehow it's always my responsibility to put them in the bin and wash them. So I did a little experiment to see if DH would take the hint. 7 weeks later he was still using the same bath-towel (dried on the heated towel rail afterwards); eventually I cracked and washed it. And still he didn't notice!

I do them once a week too. There are only two of us, we have our own rail each in the bathroom for them to dry out after use. Hand towels are more often though, my OH washes his HUGE hands on them too :mad:

Hand towels usually every couple of days, bath towel (dried between uses) changed every 4 to 5 days and I do a dedicated towel wash when I have a full load.
