How often do you.....
Permalink  
 


After listening to a morning radio show on my way to drop off Aubrey at school, it got me wondering....how often does everyone launder their bathroom towels? The people on the radio show were saying they wait until the towel smells musty/mildewy since you are clean when you use it anyway...LOL Sounded pretty gross to me. But I wanted to know what you ladies do. So since I am super bored.....fill me in. : )

about every 3-4 showers.

unless its dirty before.

i think its a waste if water and soap - harmful to the env't to do so much laundry.

same - any clothes next to the skin worn for a full day get washed - all else i wait till its dirty - a few wears before washing.

if i washed every hoodie or jeans every time they got warn a few hours i would never get out of the laundry room!

I voted once a week. I wash sheets once a week so I throw the towels in with them.

I voted when they smell because that seems to be after 4 or 5 drys.

We've been having troubles with the towels smelling bad so I let my nose lead the way.

I do enough laundry without washing towels after every person uses them.

I usually do every 2 days. 
DH does every day.
Lucas runs naked through the house and air drys.

The people on the radio show made it sound like they waited 2 weeks or more between getting a new bath towel. I can't imagine using the same one for that long.

Megan, I wear my jeans a few times before I wash them, as long as they don't show any dirt or anything. Same with hoodies, or anything I wear over another shirt.

Thanks for fulfilling my curiousity! : )

I voted once a week, I usually wash them on the weekends. (this goes for everyone in the house, we each have our own towel and hook that it hangs on). We have gone longer if I forgot to get quarters or just didn't feel like washing laundry but I wash them with bleach and they rarely start to smell. (if they do they get washed immediately)
