Towels and washing? Every day?

[FeeFee832]

How often do you wash your towels?

I wash mine after two goes and I regularly bleach... husband thinks I'm mental? AIBU??

From towel washing to arsehole bleaching this thread has made me laugh. We're all either disgusting filthy slatterns or destroying the planet.
Change weekly here; towel in kitchen changed every 2 or 3 days normally as it ends up on the floor and the cat decides it's a good bed-I should burn those towels shouldn't I?

😂😂 @keto

Cillit bang is a good shout to be fair, but leave it on too long and your cillit will certainly be banging.

OMG, sounds like a load of you live in hotels! But that you are the housekeeper.
Our's are done about once a week. That's plenty. Some of you must spend so much time cleaning you'll have no time for fun!!!!

Only complete bastards have time for fun 🎉

I'd love to become a bleach bum and avoid The Plague.

Any particular brands I should be looking at?

Any particular brands I should be looking at?

Domestos, obvs. If I remember my high school science it has the highest number of chlorine molecules compared to own brand. So totally worth the expense.

I also have a steam attachment in my shower so I can thoroughly steam and sterilise before bleaching to get everything super squeaky clean. If it’s good enough for Paltrow....

Thanks, blue for those tips. Now to application of this Domestos - wire-wool? brush? Any recommendations?

I have separate towels from my ds and wash them every 2-3 days ,

I would like to think that if some of you who only wash towels every week or whenever they start to smell, wash them more frequently when someone is ill, fecal (poo) particles travel up to 6ft on flushing the toilet

Not if you shut the lid before you flush.

And the best bleach is Harpic x10 in the black bottle.

Evilspirit - we all have separate towels so teens use their own, DS's often put in the wash more often.

OMG, sounds like a load of you live in hotels!

Hotels encourage towel reuse, actually. For savings, I'm sure. But it does help the environment.

Evil agree with Eliza, why on earth don't you close the lid of the loo before flushing?

Why would we leave the seat up to flush? It's always put down first in our house.

Bloody teens are the cause of most of the towel washing

Teens take a shower, get a towel off the pile, move to their bedroom/my bedroom/spare room/wherever the particular mirror they need is. Pose, pick spots, do hair, drop towel on floor. Occasionally retain towel to dump on their own bedroom floor. Next shower towel is still on floor when they get out, so they grab a clean one from the pile... randomly find half damp towels on the floor, don’t know who’s used it or how many times, think fuck it and throw it in the wash.

Dh and i reuse towels 2-3 times easy. I tend to put mine to one side so now one else uses it, dh will grab anything, including the half damp ones on the floor. He reckons it’s only been round one of the (clean) kids.

Dammit, i was going to wash my towels today, but I've wasted so much time reading this thread, i have no time to do them now. When I succumb to a horrible towel related disease, i will curse you all, except for a few posters (you know who you are).

Dog you don't look well, have you got life insurance? You should.

The poo particles i can cope with, it's the squirrels that vex me.

Squirrels don't come out of toilets. Snakes, rats and crocodiles do.

They hide and get you when the poo particles whizzing around are distracting you.

That squirrel doesn't look like it eats figs

Reminds me of Val and Harvey in League of Gentlemen:

"Then there's the towels. White for hands, brown for feet, green for torso, thighs and seat. And in the cupboard beneath the stair......you'll find the red for pubic hair".

It doesn't. It eats children.
