Elle's theory about air circulation rings true to me as well. When I lived at the beach, the humidity made it much tougher to keep a towel dry and ready, so I changed them a lot more often.

Plus as Kitty and others say, you use a bath towel when you're presumedly at your cleanest, so all you're doing is absorbing clean water from your clean skin. Thus, how dirty can a towel get?

Cortney1982, I think my husband must have seen the same Oprah, since "dead skin cells" tends to be his argument too.

I also agree with Lynnie's comment about water conservation. Definitely no one wants to overdo it and use excessive water/electricity/gas. I wish someone could give me a cost/benefit analysis on this...

And Ttara, I'm glad you brought up "favorite towels," because I fall victim to that too. I prefer to wash and re-hang our favorites instead of just tossing the good towels down the chute for laundering someday, then putting up our lesser quality towels. I think the solution is to buy new ones, and several of them, so that all our towels qualify as "good."

By the way, even when I used a laundromat, I had a mental block about washing towels with clothes. Towels are so linty I wouldn't wash them with jeans anyway...but everyone has their weirdness.

Thanks you guys, so far, this is good info for my husband. Maybe he'll get off my back...

Honestly, if your DH is concerned about dead skin cells, can't he change his own towel at a rate that's comfortable for him?  We actually don't have a system, I just change my towel whenever I'm ready, and DH does the same.

Every 2-3 days, assuming they get hung up to dry properly. If we're in a hurry and leave one in a pile somewhere, it doesn't get a second chance.

Me, I use a clean wash cloth daily; I wash our dry towels twice a week. My face towel - about the same as the dry towel, wash it twice a week.
