When we dry ourselves, any water, excess soap, shampoo, or fallen strands of hair end up on it. Towels are made of very small absorbing fibers, and they absorb whatever gets on them. If towles aren't washed, they soon begin to smell bad especially if they're shared. The old-ish smell makes us think it's really dirty, which it most probably is.Why do towels get dirty yet we are clean after bathing, the only time we use them to dry ourselves.?
that is a very good question! sorry i don't know the answer, i wish i did. lol!Why do towels get dirty yet we are clean after bathing, the only time we use them to dry ourselves.?
because you did not clean yourself enough !
As a towel dries you off, it scrapes off tiny pieces of your skin... These pieces, now wet dry along with the towel... Day by day, more is added, old ones get wet/dry, etc.
Well, over time they start to decompose and start to smell.
We are wiping away dead skin cells that showering didn't completely remove.
When we throw them on the floor or sit them on things they get dirty, also when water drys it holds in everything that was in the air around it. So dust molecules and things in the air that are dirty.
even after you are clean there is still dead skin sloughing off and who wants to use a towel you have dried your butt on again, i wouldn't
Who knows...kinda gross huh?

Removing mascara/eyeliner off bath towel?
I've washed it a lot from now and from when I used my towel to remove my makeup but its still on there.Removing mascara/eyeliner off bath towel?
don't use a towel to remove your makeup. use cotton balls.
try dish soap on that towel. one that removes grease.Removing mascara/eyeliner off bath towel?

How often do you change your bath towel?
I have a rotation- I always use one for my hair and one for my body, SO i use one for my body then the next day I use that one on my hair the and put the one I used on my hair the day before in the wash. so really I use it twice before it gets washed. Complicated huh? ;-pHow often do you change your bath towel?
I thought every one got a clean one every time . so guess it is up to you.How often do you change your bath towel?
About once or twice a week.
everytime
i use a new one every time lol.
Everytime I change my underwear. SO, once a week.
Never. It changes itself (either that or my wife does it!)
since i am totally clean when i leave the shower and my towel is left to hang and dry and not get mildew i wash the towel after every third shower. why waste the water and the laundry soap. i have kids that re-use their towels as well and then toss them on the floor. ew
everytime i use one
yes i am clean when i get out the shower, but you rub off any dead skin cells, inevitable they end up on the towel
why would i want to dry that and rub it on me again???
yuck
If I use it to wipe down the floor or bathtub/shower after I get out, I toss it in the hamper. If I'm just drying myself off and hanging it, it could go for a few days. Basically, if it starts to stink, get a new towel!

POLL: How many times do you use your bath towel to dry off before you decide it's time for a clean one?
wow but after bathing your body is clean right? so the towel is basically clean because your only using it to dry your clean.. body...Right...
wow you made me wonder now...i usually dry off and hang the towel ...i only wash on weekends....ewwPOLL: How many times do you use your bath towel to dry off before you decide it's time for a clean one?
well, if ur trying to save energy then I commend u in ur efforts. But, as far as re-using and re-using and re-using the same old towel before washing??? I personally only use my towels once before washing. however, I do think that if u r hanging up the towel to dry it would be acceptable to use twice, maybe; maybe three. Just try not to over do it!! Also another question to be asked is: is it just u using the same towel over and over, or r u and someone else using the same towels. Only u can reuse a towel. the other person can use a dif. towel.POLL: How many times do you use your bath towel to dry off before you decide it's time for a clean one?
I figure when it can stand on its edge upright then its time to use the other side. Usually change the towel once a year. Maybe twice around Christmas or when I use it to wipe up unsightly stains.
2 - 3 times
Until my husband comes and washes it.
Hey when I get out of the shower, I should technically be the cleanest thing in my house!!!!
:)
Usually Just Twice......
1 time usage only!!!!
a year.
what a waste of time and energy to use a towel ONCE
twice, im always clean .
so the second time i use it, it's just like before.
One and a half times!
Twice! Hey ur using it on a clean body so why must it be washed daily!

Do you use a clean bath towel everytime you shower?
I do..and most people I ask this think it is weird and a waste to use a clean towel everytime...Do you use a clean bath towel everytime you shower?
If you shower well, then drying shouldn't do much to the towel, and as long as it can dry on a towel rack you should be able to use it a few times.
Save resources, do less laundry...unless you smell, then do more laundry. (I'm not a hippie)Do you use a clean bath towel everytime you shower?
Nope it would be a waste
YES!! Think about the dead skin cells that you rub off onto the towel when you are drying off...the aim is to dry off to be clean-why on earth would you put a towel that has dead skin cells on a clean body? In addition to using a towel I also dry off with a fan to evaporate any additional moisture on my skin. Maybe I'm a clean freak but I buy the laundry detergent and pay for the electricity. This is one thing that I do not skimp on. If you are worried about being ';green'; unplug the TV, PC, or something else for the entire time you are doing the laundry.
You should be more environmentally-conscious. Think about how you pollute nature around you by washing your bath towel every time. You put detergent in the water, you burn electricity that was created by burning coal and releasing CO2 in the air, which accelerates the greenhouse effect. Because of your ';clean-freak'; princesses attitude our grandchildren will have to wear gas masks all their lives.
Yes i do and i don't think it's a waste at all.
Because i usually use the same towel that i dried off with, to get the excess water off the floor.
no i get a clean towel every 2 days
No, I don't have laundry detergent or the time to wash all those towels
No, I don't. And speaking as the person in charge of laundry for my house I can't stand when people only use a towel once. Like I don't have anything better to do than to do laundry.
I usually use mine 2 or 3 times.
No, I usually try to use it twice.
no
I change it after 2-3 showers.
yeah...no, way too much laundry that way
i use a towel 2-3 times generally.
it is wasteful...i dont' have time to do all that laundry...
If you hang it up to dry, on a ';towel rack'; (that's what they're for), they dont' get musty
uhhh yeah duh
i dont usaully i just take it and hang it up to dry then use it again. i usaully use it like 3times tops
nope.
I wait until it smells musty
I DO!!!!
ITS CLEAN and NICE!!!!!
yikes to all ppl who use it twice.....
nope, every other day
well i think so too no i wait for 1 week or something before my laundry
i hate to admit it, but yes, I use a new one. I know it is better to hang the towel up and reuse it. My husband gets my towel and puts it on the floor when I try to reuse it. He is anti ';green'; it seems.
no, i use it 2-3 times
Yes, I do the laundry so why not. : )
i use my robe - only twice though
Yes, I do.
no I use the same towel 3x then I use a new one
I use it three times before I wash it, unless of course it gets really dirty. I don't think it's wierd to use a towel only once, my sister does it and she says that it makes her feel cleaner.
it is a waste
but buy 3 or 4 for u and u only use them
thats wat i do
YES!
Imagine all the humidity stuck in that towel... bacteria... gross
