thanks

It depends on how dirty they got when you used them.
If they just dried your clean body after a bath or your hands after washing up then you could throw them into a wash once a week. If you threw them on the floor to soak up an overflowing toilet then ASAP is preferred. If kids tend to wipe their dirty hands instead of really washing up, then they probably could go in the wash that day or so, whenever you are running a load of clothes anyway.

Once a week is fine. Some people prefer only to use towels once, but unless there is something dirty being wiped on them all the time, it shouldn't be an issue. You have to think-- when you step out of the shower you are clean, you dry off your clean body, and then you hang up the towel. If you use the towel for other things, I would highly recommend washing them more often : )

I wash our towels every week when I do laundry. Just make sure towels hang so they dry in between showers, or they get musty smelling.

Twice a week. If you wash real good you are not dirtying your towel much each time you use it. You must hang it up so that it dries out each time though otherwise bacteria accumulate in the dampness. It is not necessary to change each time and it uses more energy if you do.

I'm single and live alone. I usually use my bath towel two or three times before I wash it again, just make sure you hang it so that it dries in between uses.

Once a year.
J/K!
I wash them at least once a week. Just make sure you hang dry them properly so it doesn't stay damp for the rest of the day.

I think it depends on the individual,Many people use a towel robe when they come from the shower to dry themselves.Then they just hang it up to dry, myself I´m a once only towel person. once and once only

If you are the only one that uses them, you can use them 2 times, but, if someone else is using them too, I'd wash after every use...

You can use 2 or three times if you hang them to dry in between. I wouldn't go more than that or you might wind up looking like your avatar! lol
