When I get out of the shower, I'm the cleanest thing in my house. In theory, these towels should be getting cleaner every time they touch me.

[Waser Lave]

Because you touch yourself at night.

[bobsauce]

Southpark agrees.

Stan: Why? It's not like you're peeing on your hands. There's more germs on most furniture than there is in pee.

Butters: Yeah. If anything you should wash your hands before you touch your wiener.

Accumulation of dead skin cells, and possibly some dirt and/or bacteria that was not removed by washing, and also damp towels drying around the house, unless one lives somewhere hot and dry, accumulate bacteria and mould spores in their own right.

It is best to sun dry if you can inbetween washing and sun dry after washing....strong UV light helps sterilise them.

I have to wash mine because i have scabies o.O

[wtfints]

lol. you try now washing it for a few days and it will get dirty. trust me.

[Jake2]

It's got nothing to do with you. You do it as a precaution so none of your room mates / family / cockfuckers go using your towel.

[fxckyouguys]

Because i'm OCD and I wash everything

[Trichomes]

I used to wash my towels after each use, but now I'm okay with reusing a towel once.

[Noitidart]

Well when you dry the water out of your ass by wiping your ass with the towel you want to wash it so you don't accidentally wipe your face with that side of the towel. HAHAHAHAHAHA
If you did this you would have to wash after every use!!! ROFL

[Elindoril]

I only wash mine because I don't trust my brother actually got CLEAN when he showers, and I don't want him all over me.

[wtfints]

yucks. you share towel?

GG

[Melchoire]

Wet towels make for good environments for bacteria to grow...don't they?

[Georgina]

Do an experiment Scot - dry yourself on a towel and do not wash it for 4 weeks!

See what the results are..

I could understand though using a towel 3-4 times before washing it, as theoretically it should be 'clean' since all you are doing is drying yourself with it. Though in order to do that i'd suggest some place where it would hang up to dry itself after it was wet. and then cycling 3 times before washing it. seems the second greenest method of towel usage next to air drying yourself.

Yup. That's going to be one stiff, stale smelling towel, I tell you what.

lol.

if you think you are very clean that whenever u dry yourself it makes the towel cleaner,then don't wash it

I've just recently moved in with my boyfriend and you know this is when you start realizing the weird things they do when you're not there. He has this thing where he deems a towel dirty after one use. I don't get it. I was raised to use the same towel at least for five days before it's "dirty". I think the whole must-use-new-towel-everyday thing is just a big waste of water and money. Needless to say, I made him change his habits.

[Noitidart]

I use a towel for a week. 7 days. Towels take a lot to wash.

[stellanox]

I wash my towel every two days. I'm anal about that Besides since I live somewhere rather hot and damp, I'm pretty sure it would be disgusting if I don't wash it frequently.

I know of someone who washes his towel every two months though

[luvsmyncis]

This is how I use my towel. First 22 seconds.

[SmokingKush]

Humidity and moisture is a breeding ground for bacteria. Heck, most people have a shitty fan and close their door when they take a shower. Just that humidity repeatedly will make your towels smell like shit.

If you don't change your towel at least once a month or so you're a dirty pig.

Yes, it can get really bad if you live in a hot, humid place. We wash our towels (and clothes) by smell--if they don't smell bad, then they're clean. Cuts way down on laundry you're washing for no reason, and extends the life of your fabrics.

Yup.
