No Stupid Questions

I wash mine about the same, but I only buy new if they start to fall apart or no longer dry properly. Even then, they go into the scrap towel drawer and are used for dirty jobs. Eventually they'll get too dirty and I'll get rid of them.

I wash weekly. My bathroom has a tendency towards dampness.

They stay around until they start fraying and then they go in the retired towels pile, for pets and spills and such, and once they are embarrassing to hang on my outside line i throw them out.

I’ll soak in vinegar water every so often to reduce the limescale that builds over time and that helps keep them fresher looking, but mostly that is a losing battle.

Pro tip: don’t use scent beads or softener products. They reduce absorbency (and they’re nasty chemicals that smell terrible but apparently I’m the only person who thinks that).

I change my towel when it starts making me stink again right after a shower.

There are three of us in the house, and I wash them weekly, more or less.

As for replacing them, I don't know what to say. We destroy towels in about ten years. My mom had towels that were 20-30 years old and as good as new.

I replace them as soon as they don't feel "rough" anymore. I hate soft towels. That ends up being probably once a week. Never bought new ones.

I wash my towel after ever use.

idk, after 4 or so uses. I have super dry skin so my towels never get stinky. I'm washing them long before I notice anything. Humidity being very low where I live also plays a part I"m sure.

Some of my towels may be older than me. I got a pile of hand-me-downs from my mother when I moved out and uh....I still use a few of them until they are dilapidated enough to become garage oil rags and then I buy a replacement. Nothing in my bathrooms matches!

Face towels are a different story. I replace them after a single real usage. Probably just as old though.

Once a week or two depending on how much other laundry I've got.

I'll replace them when they fall apart.

Heck man, I use RIT dye on older towels so they look nice again. So 2-3 decades so far on my towels. was 1-2 times a week

Swap everything on a Sunday for clean, thats towels sheets, teatowel etc. They live on a heated towel rail so dry out well between uses.

We have a few sets of nice towels, just got two more last year after a decade or so.

Animal shelters are always keen to take old towels.

I swap out my bath towel once every 3-4 days. When there’s 3 or more in the hamper, I wash them.

I’ll use these towels until they wear out.

You guys have more than one towel???

I change my towels once a week. I have a special hand towel to dry my nether regions.

When they start to bend and crack

Wash once a week, replace as needed which is probably 10 years or so. Then they become dog towels.

Whenever I can hold them flat and horizontal without bending when grabbed by a corner.

Use bath towel, then that bath towel becomes bath mat for next shower, when I have no more towels wash them while impatiently waiting to shower.

I am a bit perplexed no one is writing about washing in 60*C or above.

Guys, this is common knowledge, innit?

I wash them after three uses and use them until they fall apart.

Usually wash them about once every 3-6 months. I don’t think I’ve ever replaced a towel in my adult life, had my absorbent bath robe for 9 years so far.

My bathroom faces a very sunny window so heats up every day... I wash myself dry my clean self with the towel, then it dries with the sun.

The result is it doesn't get particularly dirty or left wet for particularly long.

I wash my body towels (for stepping out of the shower) weekly. I wash hand towels, for drying hands after washing hands, whenever I feel like it, quite infrequently but they get washed.

I'd only replace a towel if it fell apart or something like that. If it's unusable.

When the pile gets too large in the bathroom or on Sunday, whichever comes first.

I loathe newly purchased towels, they always feel like they don't dry well for a while. I typically wash/swap every 4 or so days. We also "strip" our towells with a deep clean like every couple months.
