I've been told i'm crazy....am i? with poll

Original post by JoesFutureWife

I do not reuse towels meaning after i shower they go right into the wash. I was told this weekend that i am crazy and should be reusing my towels. I know there is nothing wrong with it, i just cant. DH hangs his towel on the towel rack after his showers to reuse it but i swipe them and put them in the laundry and hang a clean one in its place. shhhhhhhh he doesnt know. Is there something wrong with me???

DH will not use a towel twice, ever so I am constantly doing laundry.

I use 2 towels (one for face & hair, one for body) and I reuse the hair one, if its dry in time.

I also SKEEVE washcloths. I find them offensive.



i get skeeved by washcloths too and DH HAS to use them. they gross me out. if i use one i'll only use it once.

.... I know I am strange when it comes to this but even if I WANTED to reuse my towel my bathroom stays SO humid it would always be really gross and damp!

AND as for sharing with DH, he disgusts me - I can barely bring myself to share my bed with him. . . j/k. .. . .kinda. . ..



I totally understand about the humid bathroom. We have one of those heated towel hanging things so it drys out the towel. So when I get out of the shower my old reused towel is dry and warm. It tricks me to think it's clean.

And I love DH, but never would I ever use his already used towel. That seems gross to me.

I have 2 towels one for my hair and one for my body but i reuse both of them as does DH...I have enough laundry with out doing towels all the time...plus like everyone else is saying it's definitely more GREEN to do less laundry....

no, no, no.. I know I can't be the only one to do this: I have 2 towels.. A towel for my body & a towel for my hair. I dry my face with my hair towel.





I do the same thing - two towels. I reuse the towels until the next time we do laundry.

DH and I do NOT share towels (I made sure we bought different colors so we don't mix them up, lol!) but we definitely reuse them. One, we do not have enough storage space to store 20 towels! And two, we don't even have enough hamper space for that many towels! lol. I figure you're clean when you come out of the shower, so is your towel! We just hang them to dry.

i don't reuse either. it grosses me out so they go straight into the laundry bin. i feel like they get a mildewy smell or something if you reuse..maybe im crazy.

before reading this i assumed everyone was washing after one im clearly in the minority here!!
