How many days do you leave a bath towel up?

Answer 1

I get rid of a bath towel the minute I dry my body with it. I also never use a bath towel to dry my hands on if its in someone elses house. Why? because someone may have used that towel to wipe their rear end on.
I am very picky about my linens A bath towel which is sitting there damp is a natural agar for bacterial growth. It is calling the bacteria to come and set up housekeeping on it. Using a bath towel more than once is just grose. I shower every morning before I leave for work and in the evening when I get off. I am not obsessive compulsive, I just work with a lot of pts who have infectious diseases.

One use only unless you have a vent right below the towel bar. Do you have any idea how much mold and mildew there is on a used towel? It stinks after 2 uses.
