Random post but I keep seeing it pop up in articles about how you only need to wash your towels once a week, I wash mine after each use, is this not normal?

Omg 2-3 times a week 😳😳😳😳

mine are lucky if they get done 2-3 times a month

Every other day. Our bathroom window is tiny to try and keep it aired and I find the towels don't dry properly so can have a smell to them

Once a week unless visibly dirty. If they are showing dirty marks it means someone hasn't washed properly!

1-2 times a week. We have four people and ten bath towels.

I don't have a strict rota as I do it when it's good drying weather outside (all year around preferably. But if it's a longer stretch of rain I'll do them on a day when I'm not doing clothes). And put them on the inside airer (I don't have, or want, a drier)

id say it averages every 3/4 days, not more than a week, but not after every shower either.

my washing line is convenient, so I'll often put then in the line after a shower & always hang them up to dry.

They really don't need to be washed each time, honest.

Every ten minutes.

Bath towels-once a week as they are old drying up water on a clean body. I change the tea towel and hand towels every day though but they get washed with the other towels once a week.

2 or 3 times a week unless visibly dirty. I have 2 showers/baths a day and there's 7 of us in the household so it would be never ending.
