GOOOOOD question. But I guess there is enough residual skin being sloughed off to build up a little bit of a microscopic mess. I personally advocate using the towel a wee bit longer than my more fussy spouse. I am particularly amused by the towel for sale in some mail order catalogs that has the words "face" on one end and "butt" on the other. I think that would help extend the life of the towel quite a bit longer.

Have you ever looked at a bath towel or a hand towel after its been used for a couple of days?
We may be clean when we use em but water can leave marks - especially on lite colored towels.

We never wash all the bacteria off our bodies no matter how much we scrub. The bacteria gets on the towels as we dry off. It starts to grow in the moist air and smell. The moisture also helps to set the stage for mold to grow on it to.

Yes, we are clean when we use them, but clean is a relative statement. When you use a towel, you rub even more mass off of your body. Combined with the water, your wasted body mass will begin to stink.

All that moisture on the towel could turn into mildew over time and I don't think you'd want to use that towel to clean yourself.

When we dry ourselves with a towel after a bath, we rub off millions of dead skin cells.

Yes we are but when you leave it hanging there after you get out of the shower.Fungus gets attracted to the constant moisture from the towel.So thats why we wash it.Think about it.Too many bugs/germs get attracted to that ****.

yeah but our towels aren't. plus if we're just out of the shower, our pores are open. so if there's dirt on the towel, then it can get back into your pores.

We're mostly clean, but not totally sterile... Would you want to use a used towel from someone else? Enough said.
