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??

@spanglydangly I’ve also been called mad by other posters. Who cares anyway?
Op asked for opinion i have mine end of.

Gave-*

@spanglydangly I have several Thankyou!

Oh yes I forgot the logic of people who like a clean towel every day must be dirty. love MN. Comedy gold.

Probably after 3 days. Each member of the household has a personal towel, incidentally!

Daily baths and so on, of course.

Once we've used one for 2 days in goes in washing basket until theyve all been used then they are all washed together.

I mean you can’t really compare dirty wash towels to a blood covered newborn baby can you. I mean what?! 😂.

I don’t like dirty towels I’ve made that clear.

If I ever have the blessing that is a newborn baby I won’t give a fuck about it being blood covered or just coming out of my body.

That’s just two different completely things and going way off topic.

I’m saying it’s disgusitng(sic) because I think it’s disgusting I’m not calling a person disgusting.
You are very heavily implying it though. The act is disgusting, therefore the person who does the act takes on that trait. Especially followed up with statements like
You don’t sound very clean when you commented you’d hate to live in a house that still smells brand new

Are people not bothered at all about environmental impact? If you wash every day instead of every fortnight that’s 14 times the detergent, 14 times the fossil fuel use, 14 times the water. Year in year out. So wasteful. Do you not see the news about climate change?

There’s a balance to be had.

I have never heard of anyone come to any harm by not washing their towel every day.

People share towels?!

We all have our own towels so theres no chance of me wiping my face with a towel DH has wiped his arse with (albeit an arse that has just been washed)

My towel also has a pattern on it so i always have it the 'right way up' so I dont wipe my face with a bit of towel that might have touched my arse (again, an arse that has just been washed).

Towels get washed about every week to 10 days.

🤷🏻‍♀️*@RavenLG* well I’ve been called an absolute headcase for being too clean so there we go.
We’re at different ends of the spectrum and I know which end I feel comfortable at.

Going off topic, a bit like jumping from re using towels to how clean people like their homes. It has no relevance.

Because I just think we’ll what kind of home do you want to live in then? If you don’t like the smell of a brand new house what smell appeals to you? Grime and shit?
My house also smells like whatever home cooked meal I’m cooking, fresh air and clean washing from my clean fucking towels 😂.
I’m literally getting jumped on for saying my home smells brand new and I like it that way.
There’s no point continuing this debate. I didn’t actually think it would turn into such a debate as it’s literally about towels!!

Oh I forgot about the people having excessive amounts of children. (Some on this thread) Absolutely the worst thing for the environment.

Every time there used

I dont see you getting jumped on but comments about "well I just think what kind of home you live in" proves PP point about what you're actually trying to say.

People do things differently, I dont find people who do things different to me disgusting, and I dont start imagining their home life and if they are clean that's weird

Your husband is right.

You, OTOH, are very brave for starting this thread.

A newborn baby is completely different to a pube covered towel.

This wins the thread.

Well that’s what another posted assumed about me if you go back.
I’m a zoflora loving house covered in bleach spraying dettol on every surface type of person apparantly. Just from writing that I clean my towels after every use.
I was getting jumped on.
Probably because the environment issue got thrown out with facts so other posters didn’t really have much else to say 🤷🏻‍♀️. So they turn it into “oh your too clean” “your house sounds like my nightmare”.

@Lweji it does 😂

There’s a lot of snobbery on MN about having clean houses. I’m not English but suspect it’s maybe a class thing. From what I’ve seen.

Ooh I so love an “each to their own” comment - it always means the opposite! It means “everyone who doesn’t do what I do is revolting/lazy/filthy”

but you're doing the exact same thing maybe - deflecting by assuming everyone who doesn't do this drives every day and has houses that smell of grime.

the fact is that by washing towels every day (and tumble drying them?) you are doing excessive amounts of washing, using energy, water and chemicals unnecessarily.

These days, that's everyone's problem. And it doesn't contribute to a more hygienic household at all.

I did go back and see you tagged someone saying you think its rotten, and now are surprised people dislike being called rotten. Sorry you mean the act itself...
