How Many Times Can You Use A Bath Towel Until You Wash It Again?

Question

I've been using it 3 times and I wonder if that's OK, or if it has too much bacteria by that time...

Answer 1

Use them until they either smell or look dingy (if white) or once a week, whichever comes first.  You are worrying too much - when you have bathed or showered you are clean anyway.  Put the towel on a rail to dry opening it out so it dries quickly.  Always use a hand towel for drying your face, this can be changed daily and it is smaller to wash.

Answer 2

if its dries quickly and properly you can use it for a few days safely. If you dont' hang it up properly or it stays damp all day then more bacteria will form.

The summer is more humid, you may only want to use it about 3 days, the winter when its drier in the air you can get away with 4-5 days.

Answer 3

2 is max for me..but I am a clean freak

Answer 4

i would say 3 times, then wash it :D

Answer 5

We usually use ours twice letting it dry in between uses.

Answer 6

We use ours until they start to smell.  If you hang the towel up as soon as you're done using it, it'll dry quickly and not smell for at least a week.  

Answer 7

I use mine until it smells when I try to dry my face. Smell it before you take a shower and get a clean one if that one smells.
