I change my bath towel every 2 days or more often.Why do we wash bath towels?
Yes, i reuse my bath towel a few times then wash it. Saves water and energy there.





The point to washing them is to get that musty wet dog smell out (happens after multiple uses) Also if you wipe yourself down with a towel just think of all the dead skin that is now on the towel.
yes we are suppose to be clean when we use them but when they get wet and you leave them for several days . They smell. You can only use them so many times or just once. It is better to be clean with your laundry and your body than not to be.
See, I thought the same thing.





But once my towels get stiff, crunchy and smelling like a unwashed crotch I usually start to think about washing them.





So apparently they do get dirty.
