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??

But how do you all dry your Mary?

I also know what sterile means.
The poster said “live in a sterile environment”
I knew she meant overly clean, odviously nothing lived in is ever completely sterile. Ffs make a point out of something else.

I wonder if those washing towels after every use maybe aren’t washing properly. That must be it.

Sterile environment, that’s hilarious! You have no idea what that means. 😂

@MargotLovedTom1 seriously! When researching I came across it 😂 it was to do with the way clothes/towels/underwear were all washed separately and had to be in clean water every time.
Don’t know how true it is but explained a lot to me.

A towel that's been used once clearly will not be dirty.

But arguing that it's drying a clean body so can't be dirty doesn't make any sense. On that basis, it would never need washing!

When you get out of the shower, you have dislodged many skins cells, specially if you've soaped up with a sponge or exfoliater.

Those skin cells will come off on the towel, which is why it needs to be cleaned.

I wear a mask 😷, a bee keepers outfit, I bathe in bleach, I burn my towels/clothes after one use (for 5 minutes, wouldn’t want germs crawling up them), never have sex (urgh who would go near some genitals that have produced urine), have my home sealed in so not to allow those pesky germs in and have a decontamination unit I purchased as a front door in case I allow any germy people to visit.

Oh I’m washing properly! I know that for sure 😂. Especially knowing I dry myself with a clean towel each time lol.

Same @MashedSpud

Once a week-ish, unless visibly dirty with more than just a bit of mascara residue.

Everyone’s different and each to their own.
But yes op if you want to wash your towels after every use go ahead. In my world it’s the norm.

Approx every two weeks, white towels, I use Daz.

Wow...i wash towels after every use! Some posters are saying 7+ days shock that's really quite vile

Unless you are some kind of fool who doesn't understand how showers work how could wiping clean water from your body make a towel vile? Genuine question - why do you think you need to wash towels after every use, what are you doing it for?

I don't fancy drying my face with the same unwashed towel my husband washed his bollocks and arse crack with personally. I love my husband but that's too far

(I also have white towels that stay white. I don’t bleach them - I find bleach yellows things slightly. I just wash them with whites in biological powder and try to dry in the sun when possible)

sigh. You do know, Maybe, that at the point the Black Death swept Europe, people in England weren't showering daily with or without clean towels?

A house that has regular washing done with bleach must reek.

@BellyButton85 why is your husband using a towel to wash with? Surely it's fro drying when you are clean?

Presumably your husband washes his bollocks and bum in the shower, belly? Unless there are any contagious issues like worms active in the family then the chances of anything happening to you as a result of sharing a towel is pretty negligible.

Bath towels - twice a week.
Hand towels - every other day.
Tea towels - daily.

We are all alive.

@CassianAndor my house smells brand new like the day I bought it tbh.

Your body is clean when you dry off so you are basically washing clean towels. After 5-7 days I think the accumulated dried water/soap residue/skin cells need to be washed but not daily. But then I use a small face cloth to dry my under bits and toss that in the laundry basket after one use.

I’m with you on that, bellybutton, which is why I have my own separate face towel, then no need for excess washing.

Jesus Christ 🤦🏻‍♀️. I seriously don’t want to dry myself with my husbands dirty towel he’s just dried hisself with,Fucksake I don’t even want to dry myself with my own dirty towel 😂why are you questioning @BellyButton85 on the fact she’d rather just wash her towel than use one her husbands used? if you really see that as something to question I think you are mad!.

But then I use a small face cloth to dry my under bits and toss that in the laundry basket after one use.

That sounds like a good compromise that others could consider.

It’s not about anything happening I know I’m not going to die from not washing my towel or cleaning my house it’s the fact I like to! I like to use clean towels, I like a clean home, I like washing my towels when they’ve been used, it’s personal preference. I like it.

Would it be worth explaining to your DH maybe that he should be cleaning himself in the shower, how is his towel getting dirty. Surely stepping out of the shower is the cleanest we are every day.
