How often do you change your towels?

**daddys3chicks** · 08-10-2005, 02:29 PM

My Mom always left the towels for a week, so I generally do that to. But I know some people change them more often. Just curious as to how often people change towels.

It depends on the dampness factor. In the summer, when they stay damp, more often, in the winter, weekly

For me, same as Laura in Chicago.

I assume you mean hand towels? I change hand towels probably twice a week, more often if we have lots of company.
Bath towels are only used once by DH and DD but I will use mine twice, ( OK...sometimes three times) before tossing in the hamper

Most of the time I change our bath towels once a week. If its been hot and we're taking more showers, than I change them twice a week.

Dh will use the same bath towel 2 or 3 times but the dks and I use them only once before they go into the hamper.

WHile I am frugal at heart when it comes to twoels for some reason I can only use mine once and then to me it's dirty and I know that sounds weird since you are clean when you use it but anyway we only use them once then they get washed.

Daily here hand, bath, kitchen any towels that have been used.

After every 2-3 uses.
The kids get a new towel every time though

Gripey and I use ours for about a week before we change. The kitchen towels, hand towels in the bath and dishrags get changed more often though.

Usually weekly unless they need it more often.
