To not understand how to 'adult' in this area...

[pinkpeoniesplease]

Ok, please talk to me about..... bath towels.

Where do you store them, how do you rotate?
I don't have an airing cupboard, so you use a towel, where do you put it? It needs to dry, where do you store it? Where are your towels kept? Where do you get a fresh towel from?

I have spent waaaay too much time thinking about this so please let me know your towel routine!

bedroom drawers

Use it for a week and wash it. In between its hung on back of door. If no airing cupboard, store in bathroom.

Keep them in a cupboard when clean. Then on a towel rail between uses. Wash once a fortnight ish.

Fresh towels in bathroom cabinet.
I have a rack on the back of the bathroom door that we hang wet ones on..everyone by unwritten rule has their own peg/towel that can be used a few times before washing.

Fresh towels kept in the draw under our bed, and then hun on the back of the door to dry (we have a hook each)

Keep fresh towels in drawers
Used towels live on a hook on the bedroom doors
Change towels every 3 days

We've got towel radiators and big drawers under our bathroom sink, so they're stored in the drawers and hung on the radiator after use. We wash them every few uses.

The one in using gets hung on the back of the bathroom door or a radiator.

Fresh ones are stored in an ottoman type box at the end of the bed. I got one really cheaply from Dunelm.

Shelves in bathroom to store. Dh and I have two each, dds have a couple each. I'd like a high up towel rail to dry them as at the moment they go over the end of the bed and stairgate to dry then onto hooks on the door. Use about three times, goes into washing basket and new towel taken down. It's the one part of my life I seem to have organised!

I've got a heated towel rack plus a rack on a radiator AND two hooks and it's barely enough space for towels for two so I feel your pain. I change mine at least once, if not twice a week. They live on a shelving unit in the bathroom when not in the wash or being used.

It's a thing that bugs me actually. We have a cupboard on our landing so the clean ones live in there. There are 5 of us in this house, we all get a towel each, they are washed once a week. I know this makes me a total scumbag in the eyes of most of MN, but we don't have a tumble drier and I do enough washing as it is.

Anyway, the 'used' ones get hung on the line if it's dry, but if it's not they just get hung on over the bannister or doors or on radiators, making the place look untidy. I have never really found a decent solution. I'd love a heated towel rail but alas, I can't afford it.

If you have radiators hang the towel on them, even when the heating is off. At a push I hung a towel over the sink in the bathroom. Anything else like clothes horse, bannister, door, shower door or rail.

Big drawer in the bathroom. Ones in use on the back of a towel rail. Wash every two weeks I think.

I technically have an airing cupboard but the lagging jacket on the tank is so thick that it’s just a half full cupboard really. It’s no warmer than any other wardrobe/cupboard and we keep spare sheets and towels there.

Towels that are in use are kept on a towel rail which is over a radiator, and in the other bathroom are hung on the hooks on the back of the door. They’re never so wet that they don’t dry off quite quickly (I’ve taught the dc to slough off the excess water in the bath/shower before towel drying). We use decathlon microfibre hair towels. They get tossed on the side of the bath to dry out and then into the laundry basket.

We have one towel each (a shared spare
for emergencies).

They are dried on radiators in between use and washed once a week.

I used to have more fucking towels than John Lewis. Turns out we didn't need any more than one per person.

Clean towels go in baskets on a unit in the bathroom. The ones in use go on the heated towel rail if it's on, over the banister or forgotten and left on the bed when I get dressed.

Clean towels awaiting their turn are stacked up in a large cupboard.

Each person has a towel in use, which we hang on hooks on back of bathroom door, or on heated towel rail (grown up luxury) in between uses. They get washed once a week or fortnight. I also have a small hair towel I use for drying and for hair turbanning - that gets much wetter than normal large towel and gets washed more often.

when they’re washed and dried they go back into cupboard to await their next outing.

Towels live in drawers under the bed. Washed every 7 ish home showers (shower at the gym a lot of the time). Hair towels go on the heated rail as they're wetter and body towels on a (nice) metal rack.

I need the answers too.
I feel like I’m not a functioning adult because my towels always hang on the back of doors.

Three teens.

All the towels are damp on bedroom floors or floordrobe to give it its correct name.

My three* 'in use' towels are on a single upright airer in the bedroom. DH's bath towel is on bedroom radiator. Adult DS's are somewhere in his room, I don't ask.
Clean towels are in towel cupboard & drawers in bedroom.

*Body, shoulders, hair.

Wooden blanket box at end of my bed for clean bedding and towels. Separate box for clean pet towels and blankets. Kitchen drawer for tea towels and kitchen hand towels.

Towel radiator in bathroom for towels in use, washed once a week. Folded correctly they dry really quick.

Just washed towel are either on washing line/ bannister/ clothes airier.

I have 6 super huge fluffy quick dry towels
they roll down quiet small so I can keep them in what used to be the emersion cupboard with other towels and bedding

I wash 2 of them every 3 days so mine and DHs
my son has different ones as he doesn’t like these
doing this has massively cut back on the amount I use my washing machine by as we used to use white hotel style towels that would always look crap
I also have loads of face flannels that I use and then wash with the towels

The used ones are hung up on the glass shower door

Ours end up getting washed almost after every use! Teenage dc have issues keeping water in the bath/shower, and the towels get soaked in who knows what. Otherwise there's a hand towel on the bathroom radiator, fresh towels in the airing cupboard, and probably a couple questionable one in the dc bedroom floorobes.

I roll the clean ones up and store on some shelves in the bathroom.
The ones in use are hung up either on the bathroom door or a hook on the bedroom door.

I buy hammam towels as they are much less bulky.
