I wash the gremlins towels every day (no idea why, I just do) and Maya's and mine every couple of days or so.

I use my towel twice, kids usually 3 times as they hardly really dry themselves with it (they run around the house & airdry). DH uses a fresh towel every shower! Frustrates me so bad as there are towels for africa some days! My washing is usually just towels & more towels. He just leaves them on the floor, never hangs it up to dry & reuse. I ask him to use them twice but he never does. ]]> Wed, 09 May 2007 14:21:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7380&PID=142521&title=how-often-do-you-swop-towels#142521 <![CDATA[How often do you swop towels? : Dh changes his every 2nd day and...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7380&PID=142519&title=how-often-do-you-swop-towels#142519 Author: fattartsrock

Dh changes his every 2nd day and I rely on the sniff test for mine, usually after 3 showers, and my hair towel once a week (I only wash my hair every 2nd day anyhow) Te childrens towels get changed once a week, they get hung up over the fire rail after night bath, so they dry out nicely. DSS (GGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR ) uses 2 yes 2 towels for his twice daily showers, and point blank refuses to reuse, so when he is here, I have 4 towels a day from him. (so 12 towels after a weekend) His mother is his slave, but I make him fold them all becasue I get sick of it! I do 2 towel loads a week for us if i'm unlucky but when he is here it more than doubles!]]> Wed, 09 May 2007 14:18:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7380&PID=142519&title=how-often-do-you-swop-towels#142519 <![CDATA[How often do you swop towels? : I change mine every week if i...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7380&PID=142474&title=how-often-do-you-swop-towels#142474 Author: peanut butter

When I first met DH he used a new towel every day, obviously he did NOT do the washing at home, his Mum did everything for all 4 of her children!

When we moved in together I advised him that if he was going to use a new towel every day, he would be doing all the washing, he soon got used to the fact that a towel can last 3 or 4 days without having to be changed. When you actually hang them up after use and not leave them on the floor to get manky they do dry and they are still clean, after all you have just had a shower for goodness sake!!

So, we change them every 3 or 4 days, or if they get gross, we change them more often!]]> Wed, 09 May 2007 13:18:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7380&PID=142466&title=how-often-do-you-swop-towels#142466 <![CDATA[How often do you swop towels? : I change mine every 2 or 3 showers....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7380&PID=142451&title=how-often-do-you-swop-towels#142451 Author: kebakat
