Solving the "Is this my Towel?" Conundrum

We use our towels more than once before laundering them. I guess some people might think it's gross, but I figure you're just wiping clean water from a clean body.  It saves on laundry costs.  In theory.

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....

  1. Hi Kelly

    We 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 ;-)

  2. I've considered monogramming towels for each family member, partly so we can identify guilty parties. ;)

  3. See, 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.

    Love your blog. Seriously.
