Hav you seen how screwed up the world is and your going on about a washing machine going round.
Because that's the topic of the thread.

If you want to discuss a serious topic, make a thread on it.

Sorry I should have asked how often do north Koreans, Syrians and hurricane victims wash their towels post-brexit

There are far more germs (1000x more) on your phone, keyboard and steering wheel than there will be on a 1 week old towel

and you do not get ill using these germ infested items so..

And all those door handles you touch every day, especially the toilet one, that's vile (Just because I assume many people don't wash their hands after the toilet)

Do you wipe your phone and steering wheel all over your body to dry-clean yourself though?

all of the said items go on your hands and your hands touch your nose and mouth and a far far more likely to transfer germs that could result in illness

you dont get ill from having germs on your arse, you get ill when they enter your mouth or nose

This. I wash them once a week and shower every day so I use it 6/7 times before washing it. Essentially all your towel is absorbing is water and if you hang them up and don't leaving them lying around all scrumped up then once a week is perfectly acceptable, every time is ridiculous. It's like those families that say they only fill up one bin bag a week

But I'm still not using those items to clean myself... I feel like your logic is "oh **** well other things make me unclean during the day, might as well not bother with cleaning myself after my shower to help begin the process" and I just can't think that way.. counterproductive almost.

I was answering Josys post and highlighting how illogical it was

This worry of "germs" is illogical when people have no idea what germs, what they will do or if anyone has ever got ill from a slightly unwashed towel for example


Its a throwback to the days when we first realised that "germs" existed and then became paranoid about a whole raft of things

Yeah after you've used your freshly laundered towel you're then going and sitting your arse on that toilet seat full of germs so I don't get the obsession with a germ free towel. It isn't going to happen.

By all means it be clean and not smelly or left damp etc that's obvious. But washing after every single use is excessive.

I mean what about hand towels? From what people do with their hands each and every day there's probably more harmful germs on those and yet I doubt you wash them after each and every time someone's dried their hands?

I dont think its illogical.. there's a certain objective to showering and towel-drying.. you kinda miss that using an unclean towel imo, as you would if you were to use your steering wheel to dry yourself after a shower..
But the function of a phone or a steering wheel just isn't comparable on any level, so I don't think your argument refutes Josy's...
time and a place for germs maybe, thats not gonna be directly after your shower

Damp humid towels are a massive breeding ground for germs.

Might start calling you germy tbh

I wash my hands plus use bacterial hand gel multiple times during the day which hopefully deals with any germs from phone, keyboard use etc...

You dry your arsehole, your ballbag, inbetween your toes and everything else with a towel then hang it back up damp to reuse

I use one towel for my hair that I was after every 2 or 3 uses and one for my body that I wash after every use.

Just use different ones bc I get paranoid I'll dry my hair and face with the bit ive just scrubbed my balls with.

it's no wonder you are ill every 5 minutes Josy, expose yourself to a few germs and lead a healthy lifestyle, I literally can't remember the last time I had a cold, it has been well over a year
