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??

If only people utilised the humble flannel more they wouldn't need to wash their towels.

How can a person possibly be hygienic if they don't use flannels. The mind boggles at how filthy people are. No wonder we're the scourge of Europe. Filth!

I'm so filthy, my DP recently mistook me for his dirty flannel and chucked me in the machine with the rest of the dirty laundry. Thankfully he's environmentally aware and only put it on a 30° cycle. Unfortunately, he also uses the environmentally friendly washing powder so I came out looking a dismal grey colour.

Indeed Thigh what a lovely user name you have. How have I not come across your wisdom before on MN. Flannels rule. Flannels, Flannels, Flannels.

Barearsed I see you too have a wonderous user name. Life’s a bugger when our DP’s are so foolish isn’t it.

I actually wash mine halfway through use

Jump out the shower, little dry. In the washing machine, bottle of thick bleach per towel. Tumble drier.

Then finish drying myself, only takes about 4hrs a day, anything less is slovenly tbh.

A flannel saved my life once, but it's too outing to tell the tale on here.

Oh dog was it while you were playing an outing sport (lacrosse).

Pixie, I ❤️ you, please come and live with us.

Dog was it the time when the frog got free and ...

But why the need for flannels? I wash with soap using my hands, does everyone else use flannels? Genuine question.

Thigh, Dangly, you seem to know a lot of the details, were you there? Or has it happened to you too? I always carry a flannel now, just in case.

Dog yes it's just that I use a flannel to plug the gap!

And then thoroughly clean it until it's dead of course!

Deadringer flannels must be used. They are a dying breed. If we don’t use them they will go extinct.

Oh dear dead(appropriate) you wash with soap and your hands? Discustard.

I wash them when they smell a bit 'old towelly' because I have a life and would rather be doing other things than putting washing out to dry

Pixie we recognise a kindred! We are not so hard to find, please join us!

Pixie if you're worried about not having the time to come and stay with us, what with your admirable four hour a day cleansing routine, let me reassure you that we have much lower standards where we're from. A quick dip in the moat to wash off the blood splatters with a flannel cut from an old pissy slanket and a run around the grounds with a squirrel's tail stuck up our arse to dry off and we're ready for the day.

Can I just ask about bleaching...gradually my white sheets and towels don't look so white ...what do people use...ordinary bleach or something special do u just put it in with the washing powder...how much do u use

Thanks for any advice Jane

I use a shower puff for a good scrubbing and it really helps lather up my soap

Clean bath/hand towels every 3-4 days here. So I’ll change then tomorrow, they’ll do until after showers on Tuesday morning. It’s not a hard and fast rule and sometimes they’ll go 2-3 days.

These types of posts are really making me laugh. Thanks!

Do some people really wash a clean towel after first use? Even posh hotels won't do that unless specifically requested! It's totally unnecessary and a waste of water, detergent, electricity and wear and tear on the washing machine (and tumble dryer, if used).

You know those aren't environmentally friendly. Get a loofah or soap bag instead!

I shaved off my pubes and tied them together in a bunch. They make a brilliant shower puff.

My pubes are so wild and abundant DP mistook me for his shower puff the other day and i found myself being rubbed vigorously up and down his filthy arse crack.
