question of the day...bath towels

Published Jan. 9, 2008

Just thought I would throw out this question, just like a reporter on the street, when you use a bath towel to dry off with, after your bath or shower. do you hang it up and use the next time you bathe or do you throw it into the dirty clothes and wash it when you wash clothes? Some people I know (in real life...ha, ha, ha!) use the same towel several times over and some people throw it in the wash after 1 use. Which do you do? Of course, I use mine several times over since it is only water and I'm such a conservationist!!

If you are clean, and just towelling off water, shouldn't the towel, in theory, never get dirty? One comedian postulated that in fact it should be getting cleaner.

My husband and I argue over this constantly. I come from a family of 6. I was the only daughter and I wouldn't dare dry off with a towel that one of my brothers used. So, we all just used once and put in the hamper...Gosh that just made me think about how often my mom probably had to do laundry...Now, my husbands family used the towel until it stank. So, we bump heads. I still use a fresh one and he uses the same one. And he even has the nerve to say some of the towels smell....Gee I wonder why! I say, if you don't have a water restriction in your town, opt for a freshly laundered towel. Just my 2 cents

I ALWAYS throw mine in the laundry basket that is for our towels and wash cloths along with the hand towels that I change daily in our bathrooms. I have always been OCD on that. I stayed with a friend one time for the first time many years ago and saw that she did that.

Hang it up!

ooooooooooooowww. Ernie. Guess what I just did? Yep, guilt over wasting the water won out and I hung the towel up. Now, I have to find out how to keep the cat and dog hair/dander that's forever floating around in this house to stay off of it. I don't think it's gonna work because if I get the hair on my face or neck, I'm in real trouble of getting major, massive full-blown hives, despite the medication I take each day. :( We'll see .....

Good question, Ernie! But it made me realize I'm NOT doing my part to conserve water the way others are --- I use a towel only once, then throw it in the hamper. I'm going to work on changing that.

I use mine more than once. Laundry is done Wednesday and Saturday.

wash it after a couple weeks of use. same with most clothes, don't wash until i've worn several times, or it gets a stain. no use in wasting water and wearing out the material.

I use mine once. When I am done drying off, I spread the towel out across the step of the tub. (Garden tub) Then it is off to the washer that night with the rest of the laundry.

I usually hang it to dry.
