Some people have this habit of using a towel till it is quite old. I don't agree with that type of attitude since we should practice a neat and that involves changing our towels once in a while. How often do you change yours?
How long before changing your towel?

At least my towel should be good enough to last at least 3 years for me before thinking about having it changed. I recently got a new family size towel. It's that big and I'm sure it's going to last long.
My towel is used max 2 years and I have it changed. I can't see myself using one towel more than 2 years. It's going to feel like a wearing one cloth for too long. I don't even wear some of my clothes more than 2 years and I have them replaced.

I keep my towels until I think they have lost their absorption or if they are no longer soft and undamaged. I don't really know how old my towels are but I would say they are at least 2/3 years old. I think as long as they work and are clean you can use them for as long as they are intact.

I haven't really ever thought about this before to be honest with you, but I'd say that I keep my towels for a few years at least but if they start to discolour or rip at all then I'd throw them out but I like to make things last so I'm not constantly wasting money.
Usually my towels are kept in use for about 4 to 5 days before I swap them over but that's only if they're not dirty. As long as they're dry and clean than I'll just keep using it. It saves me having to wash the towel every day. Besides, I use it after the shower so in theory I'm cleaner!

I was my towel minimum of once a week but I won't buy a new towel until it is no longer absorbant, usually minimum of 5 years. I never throw my old towels away I always donate them to vets or animal charities to use.
My family got some really good towels, they are.... I want to say almost 15 years old now? And they are still holding up pretty good.
This is great. Having towels that have lasted for up to 15 years is quite unbelievable. How many are the towels, and how often do you take care of them?
Hrmmmm, I think there is like 6 or 7, 2-3 get washed every week. The washcloths didn't last as long though.

When it comes to towels, I don't tend to replace a towel for about a year or so as I feel any sooner than that would be a waste of time. I find after about a year or so you start to see them getting old and that is a sign at least for me to buy new.
