You do you, but I wash mine.
Many of them are older than I am.

@frogglin Ha I was just saying our green towels are pushing 20 years old and are still in great condition. Throwing towels out every 3 months would be appalling from an environmental standpoint - all that water and energy wasted in making them.

@timrichards And they're simply not cheap.
I see stuff like that all the time.
New bedsheets every 12 months apparently.
Also something I wash, because I'm old fashioned like that.
They get ditched with they get too ripped to be comfortable, and not a moment before

@timrichards I'm the kind of person who, if a towel does wear too thin, will just cut it up and use it for cleaning cloths.
My grandmother lived through the depression, passed a lot of this stuff on to Mum and apart from the "You can get three cups of tea out of one teabag" thing, we carry it on.
Need to get Make Do and Mend back on the agenda I think.

"What am I going to do? Wash the shower next? Wash a bar of soap? You got to think here, pal."
