How Often Do You Change Bath Towels?

[MichalRight]

So, how often do you change your bath towel? I remember the Dilbert cartoon where the one guy never changes his bath towel because, theoretically, it should be the cleanest item in his house.

I was recently visiting a couple who had a disagreement on the matter. The husband felt that you should use a towel for a week. The wife thought that rather disgusting and felt that a new towel for each bath/shower is called for.

Personally, I use a new towel each time. On the other hand, my SO uses a new towel whenever I replace hers (I am the one who usually does the laundry).

Actually I don't change my bath towel - I wash it!
So to change a towel frequently is a good idea as well.

Bath towels that are being used once a day to dry off after a shower can be used up to three times before needing to be washed. Hand towels, however, should be changed every one to two days since they are getting used more frequently and might even be drying hands that aren't completely clean.
