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??

I wash my towels about as often as there are threads about it on mumsnet

After about a week.

Once a week.

You only use them after you've washed/bsthed/showered so they're used to dry something clean. If they're hung up to air after use then they won't smell damp.

Genuinely shocked by people who wash them after a single use. Ridiculous waste of money and electricity.

Have you heard of global warming and the environmental catastrophe that we’re facing?

What a massive waste of water and energy.

Stop being such a dick.

7-10 days is fine.

Every week and a half/two weeks

But in summer I hang them out in the garden every day so they dry properly, get aired and never smell damp.

I definitely get more mileage out of my towels in the summer.

Once a week.

I do love a good washing thread though!

About once a week here .Quite apart from the obvious harm to our planet ,Washing powder/electric arent cheap!

We wash towels weekly and not with bleach, just on a 60 Cottons programme. Washing more often is excessive and terrible for the environment.

You obviously don’t care about the environment at all

Once a week.
It has never crossed my mind to use bleach.

I cannot be the only person who washes bath/shower towels less than once a month.

You use them when you're clean.

Hand towels are washed more often, once every couple of weeks. Teatowels every couple of days, with whatever load I'm doing.

And somehow I haven't died from any towel-related disease.

Once weekly perfectly fine for bath towels (different bright colour per person-no need ever for bleach) They are hung to dry after each use. Hand towels every 3 days or so.

I really have no idea but not as often as many people here. Maybe once a fortnight or so? And no bleach

I do when they need it.

The kids towels, not very often maybe after a month. Unless they’ve been swimming.

Mine. I’m going to say once a month, which sounds like not very often but it doesn’t smell.

Hand towel I do every few days and it gets shoved in with everything else.

Once a week when I do the sheets. more than that is massively excessive.

Weekly under normal circumstances. Kitchen towel gets washed more often than that.

But I do not ever bleach my towels.

I'm with @ThinkGlow - probably about once a month ish. I honestly don't know why you'd do it after every use - that is so wasteful

Towels, bed linens once a week. Tea towels prob less when I remember. Only two of us. Daily Is ridiculous

I throw my kitchen towels into a wash with kitchen wash cloths etc whenever i do a clothes wash.
Bedding weekly i prefer to sleep under a big throw though which gets washed probably monthly dh gets the duvet
Towels probably every 5-8 days
I always use the ready to wash towels to give the dog a bath too to get extra use out of them.

One of the kids got worms a couple of months ago. Now I wash towels after two washes and we don't share towels.

Two for the big towels and one for my hair and face towel. I have alot of towels so do a towel wash once a week.

They smell if they are damp.

Ours don't. What on earth are you doing with them? Quite bemused by the people who are apparently so inefficient at washing themselves that their towels need to be washed after just one use.
