What really ends up happening is we hang our towels on a hook or over a door and lose track of whose towel is whose. On our way into the bathroom, uncertain of which towel is ours, we just grab a fresh one from the linen closet. Wouldn't it be great to have some way of knowing whose towel is whose?
This is a really simple solution, but the day I came up with this, I was seriously happy with myself:
Also, this new system has provided irrefutable evidence as which one of us has been leaving our wet towels lying on the bed.
It's....um.....me.
All these years, and I was pretty sure it was him....
Hi Kelly
ReplyDeleteWe reuse our towels too.. I wash them twice a week. We use coloured towels so we can easily identify them. My daughter got a monogrammed towel for Christmas and I thought if I had me the time I'd embroider initials on them. Love your solution though.. I bet your husband did too ;-)
I've considered monogramming towels for each family member, partly so we can identify guilty parties. ;)
ReplyDeleteSee, I thought everyone used towels more than once because that is how my family operates. I thought I was the freak for only using them once.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog. Seriously.
That's awesome! I would forget to put my clip on my towel, so right now, we just assign hooks to everyone. That way, if a towel is missing, we know whose it is.
ReplyDeleteHooks hung lower for the little kids, hooks higher for mom & dad
We hung a coat rack above our toilet and we each have our own hook for our towels. And they can hang well to dry.

ReplyDeleteI monogrammed my towels with a 1, 2 and 3 to ID wet towels. Each kid got 2 towels with their number (pecking order) in their color choice. My towels laundry has decreased in a huge way!!! They have a hook in their room for their towels. It worked for me.
ReplyDeleteHubby and I have our towels hung in a specific spot in our bathroom, while the kiddos each have their own color. Guest towels are white, so the kids know that those towels aren't theirs (since guests & kids share a bathroom here.)
ReplyDeleteWe have different colors for each member. We have an over-the-door hanger for the bathtowels. On a side note, I bought huge beach towels in solid colors on sale for €4 each (a little over $3). They are great for wrapping up in, and the kids love them.
ReplyDeleteOh, and yes, we also use towels more than once.
I did this for our towels in the camper. It seems like we go through so many towels when we camp. there are the bath towels and then swim towels.
ReplyDeleteI only wash my towels when they start to feel dirty - you know, when you WANT a new one, not when you think you should get a new one. And that usually means I use a towel a couple of weeks before putting it in the laundry...
ReplyDeleteI think it would be much more disgusting to destroy the environment just so people can feel as if they live in a hotel with clean towels after every shower!
