Good afternoon
Wild and windy out there.Bitter cold.
How often do you do towels and sheets to be wash?
For us it is every week we do this.But do we need to do this.
There is only two of us here .The best time to refresh towels and sheets

You get some of the answer below.Will clear this up.

information here online.
Damp towels offer a breeding environment for bacteria if not laundered frequently.
Washing towels frequently can be a tedious chore, and it uses up water and detergent, adding expense to your weekly budget. But drying your nice clean body with a bacteria-laden towel probably isn't the best idea either. So what do the experts recommend?
A recent Dr. Oz poll shows there is a great mix of opinions on how long you should use a towel before washing it. Sixteen percent of respondents said they wash their towels daily, but most people stretched it out longer with 33 percent washing them two or three times per week and 40 percent just once a week. Eleven percent admitted to only washing their towels every two weeks or more.

We try to do it once a week, but sometimes we just can't.

@teamfreak16 I believe that you do not have to do it every week.

We change our towels twice a week, bedding once a week. Then, launder them all, once a week.

For towels it is once a week, but we put it out in the sun after each use to dry it up or kill bacteria/molds.

My hand towels hang in the bathroom or the kitchen until its wash day, We tend to dry our bath towels after we use them only once and toss the dry towel in the laundry. Now that we go to the YMCA daily (husband goes 7 days a week, and I go 5 days a week) we shower there instead of at home. But if at home a bath or shower towel is a only used once.
