I’d also be interesting in knowing if people have in-unit laundry. Being in an apartment complex where there’s 3 washers for around 50 people, it’s not feasible to wash towels after every use. That also sounds very wasteful!

I shower every other day, and change the towels after a couple of weeks. The schedule is based on when they can get washed (laundry gets done every two weeks for clothes, and so it’s based on the availability of doing extra loads), or at the first sign of a smell or stain.

Bedding gets changed on a monthly basis for the same reasons, again, unless there’s a smell or stain.

Towels - 3 days Sheets - every week

New towel every shower. Bed sheets about every other week

Towels and sheets weekly. Comforter and mattress topper alternating weeks.

I just do it when I do laundry which is when I run out of shirts for work.

Somewhere between 2 and 6 weeks.

Assuming im not in the midst of creating a depression fort out of garbage and laundry its 1-2 weeks for bedding and towels are roughly every week. Look like I'm average itt at least. So one less thing to feel bad about yay!

Mattress, about five years. Towels, every decade or so.

Just keep the ones you have clean with regular washing, and they don't wear out that fast.

People in this thread, unironically:

Why would I change either?

I mean, I'm a hoopy frood, So I know where my towel is, and it's full of all kinds of nutrients due to the competing microbes that compose its flora. You don't just waste that kind of ecosystem by changing towels every decade.

And sheets? What about the memories? Every stain is a mark of something wonderful that happened. Except the ones that are marks of something horrific that happened. Or the ones that are just spilled beverages. But, you know, that's still plenty of good memories you want washed down the drain, you animal you.

We usually change the bedding weekly, I.e. every Sunday and the towels usually as soon as they start to develop this old wet umbrella stench, which takes about 3-4 days.

bath towels: weekly

bedding: every 2 or 3 weeks, depending on the season

Not enough

Weekly, both. Mostly

Sheets weekly. Towels twice a week, but I shower twice a day.

yes?

no?

sometimes...

bath towels every couple of showers. I use a separate towel for my head/hair though.
bed sheets, varies, depends on temperature and sweatiness.

Bath towels: Daily (I bath twice in a day)

Bedding: Every week

Change to what? Money?

... you people use towels more than once?
