  That’s kinda of wasteful isn’t it? Washing a perfectly good towel after a single usage.

  If the body was cleaned correctly, you could just air dry and use it like 2 to 3 times.

  I use two towels per week, and they never smell bad before I put them for washing.

    i’m doing a load of whites once a week regardless, so no, its not wasteful.

      Do you shower once a week?

        you do realize a washing machine can wash more than one towel at a time… right?

      I see, if you are using the same amount of water regardless, I think that’s reasonable

        Don’t newer washers auto detect the load size? And if so, wouldn’t larger load mean more weight, and therefore more energy used?

  I mean, when you use a towel to dry off your clean body, does it dirty the towel that much?

    and you leave it hanging in the bathroom until next time you use it, ever done research on how much shit… both literal and metaphorical, gets launched into the air every time you flush?

      • No clothes remain hanging in the bathroom.
        • Towels have a separate hanging place in an airy place (at least I wish they did. I just make do with the gymnastics bars)
      • Toothbrushes are taken out after use and air dried (or momentum dried?) before returning them to their compartment, which is also outside the bathroom
      • The only things that remain in the bathroom are shampoos and soaps

      Ehhh all of my clean towels hang too because my bathroom is so small the sink is in the hallway, and I don’t have space for another dresser in my bedroom. Something something old house problems
