    I use my one for days put it in the wash when it needs it. Figure I'm pretty clean when I get out of the shower so that can be a week.
    Of course I do the washing so thats my method.
    Hubby doesn't do washing so he just leaves them on the floor and uses new ones everyday.
    rrrrh.

    I change the towels a couple of times a week and the bed sheets too
    It just feels nice using a fresh smelling totally dry towel and getting into clean sheets

    Back when I lived with my parents it was a fresh one every time.

    As soon as I moved out I realised that was ridiculous and it now lasts me at least a week.

    If wet towels breed bacteria, how do you wash and dry them in the first place?

    I use my towel 2-3 times, max. Towels get washed in warm water with bleach. My kids use a new towel each time. I thnk I am going to teach them how to wash towels soon. :wink:

    I use my same shower towel for 2 weeks. Washing it eveyday seems OCD to me.

    I go a week and I AM OCD. But I also don't like to do laundry every five seconds.

    Not sure how often I change mine. If you're clean after the shower then the towel can't be that dirty! :)

    There would be no such thing as a towel rack if you used it and then washed it. How about hand towels, dry your hands and then wash them? IDK, but i used mine 2-3 times then wash them. If you want to wash each time, to each his own :)

    this topic made me laugh out loud!!! i use mine 3 or 4 times only because i'd be doing towels everyday if we (my family of 4) each used a new towel every time. with the summer and swimming, now we have double towels (and yes, we use our swim towels 3 or 4 times each too):ohwell:

    Damp towels breed bacteria. I don't think you're weird :flowerforyou: I'm a two-use-max person myself.

    Yes, damp towels do breed bacteria; however, this why they should be hung up after use to allow them to dry.
