    If you're worried about dead skin cells, I'd look into cleaning your couches, washing your sheets more often, car seats, chairs, etc. I'm sure they're filthier than towels that get washed regularly.

    You meant this the other way around right?

    Hair towel one day, becomes body towel on second day?

    I think Mrs. rimrocker washes mine twice each week, but I'm not sure... it just magically appears on my towel bar.

    The environment doesn't care about water wasting. Also how do you know he doesn't have a washer that is twice as efficient than yours and he uses way less water per year than you do?

    Oops, yes that way. lol

    Oh, believe me I know. Vacuum is my friend and I keep 2 sets of fresh sheets handy at all times, just in case I don't feel like washing the day I decide to strip the bed.

    After 2 uses usually...sometimes I replace after 1 use if it's after 5 hours of basketball on a hot summer day. I know, it makes no sense, since how many times I use a towel shouldn't depend on how filthy I was before the shower.

    I go by the number of times I take a shower and then use the towel itself, not by days. It's usually 4-5 showers.. sometimes that's two to three days, sometimes it's more. I usually rotate then between 3 different towels.

    Every shower. Anything less just seems unsanitary. Why take the shower if I am just going to use a dirty towel to dry myself. I don't care what anyone says here. If you use a towel it starts smelling like mildew in a day or two. You are just used to the smell if you don't smell it. Also, If you are leaving it in your bathroom, it is collecting fecal matter along with any toothbrushes you leave on your counter. I saw that on one of those health shows where they ran a test on everything exposed in a clean restroom. Everything exposed had fecal matter on it. Imagine all the bacteria collecting and growing on a week or 2 old towel. Why even shower? You are probably just rubbing dirtier stuff on yourself than you just washed off. Use a clean towel, water is 100 percent recyclable. You can just throw the towels in with other loads anyways.

    I love how you know what others are thinking, smelling, and doing. This falls perfectly in line with your accusation that "There is no doubt Pujols is using PE's" based on his stats.

    Maybe your bathroom is so filthy that mildew grows on things after 2 days. I live in a place that's only a couple of years old, and I keep the bathroom clean.. there's no mildew in the grout or anything. I assume that helps keep it from growing on other things quickly, too

    1-2 weeks depending on how fresh the towels smells. Every day seems like super OCD overkill to me, and that's coming from someone who most people call a neat freak.
