My towels never smell. I think there might be something wrong with the water you use.

He didnt say his towels smell after he uses them once or after he washes them but after reusing them a few time. I notice the same thing. They start to develop this weird sour smell to them

Protip: Hang your towels to dry outside of your bathroom. They will last much longer.

Could be water, could be soap scum, or not washing/scrubbing thoroughly enough and dirt or dead skin staying on it, or by reusing multiple times he means multiple times.

I always imagined that if you come out of the shower very clean, there's not much "uncleanliness" to be absorbed by the towel aside from water and perhaps a tiny bit of leftover soap/shampoo.

That and make sure you let your towel dry very well. Goes for any porous product (like dishwashing sponges). Bacteria and microorganisms multiply quickly in moist (and warm) areas.

How the hell does people manage to stick with the same towel they have used for 7+ days?

Usually every 2-4 days I'll use a new one.

I've never met anyone who uses the same towel twice in a row. I do agree with the points made in this thread, but I literally have never heard of anyone ever, in my entire life, using a towel more than once. The world is a big place.

Wow. I have never heard of someone switching towels everyday until now.

Every shower I get a new towel..however it does make sense that a new towels shouldn't be switched so much because you come out of the shower clean..but its just what I'm used to..

If you hang your towel to dry after you've used it, it wont smell at all.
If you shower properly you are clean when you're done, so it doesn't really get dirty.

I use mine 2-3 times though, because I just like the idea of having a fresh towel :p

I am spoiled.
New towel every day.
Never really thought about it.
Still won't really think about it.
See ya tomorrow, new towel.

Actually after every use I take that used towel and place it into a zip bag, go on to burn it and then bury its ashes... Idk, just my thing...

I do once a week with the laundry like the OP. I didn't know people switched towels every day...crazy. But probably I could have gathered that some people do switch so much since hotels do it every day unless you tell them not to.

I wash them with other towels and reuse it. Usually have a couple to swap. I dont know how people use a new one everyday, thats just absurd.

edit: All I need is a separate one for my hair, gotta take care of the Asian hair.
