How often do you wash your towels? And how often do you completely change them with brand new towels?
I wash them weekly and was just wondering recently if I should be buying new towels to replace my 8+ year old towels.
Edit to add: I wash towels by themselves so it’s a separate load to my regular laundry. I don’t know why but the different materials seem to clean better separately. But I also have a separate towels load for dirty/oily towels (kitchen towels, cleaning rags)
Swap everything on a Sunday for clean, thats towels sheets, teatowel etc. They live on a heated towel rail so dry out well between uses.
We have a few sets of nice towels, just got two more last year after a decade or so.
Animal shelters are always keen to take old towels.
A kindred spirit, I too change all linen, towels, teatowels on a Sunday. I love the feeling of crisp linen and rough towels.
I have sets of “three” of everything. One set in use, one set in the laundry and one set in the closet. I only buy new things if visible frayed and no point trying to mend.
Oh that’s a good tip! I have old towels that I now use for cleaning towels, but I’ll check animal shelters near me as an alternative.
