Multiple re-uses of same towel after showering? To save washing machine.

Multiple re-uses of a drinking glass/cup or silverware to save dish washing machine?

How often do you change your bed sheets?

I re-use the same towel a few times....if you showered well enough it shouldn't be an issue.

Ill also re-use a drinking glass if it's just water. I will give it a quick rinse though usually.

I didn't know people didn't do this. I guess if you don't shower very often it makes sense.

My body towel today will be my hair towel tomorrow.

I have 2 Stanley cups that I use all day and switch them out when I need to clean the one I’ve been using.

Bed sheets are washed every Sunday.

You can use both sides of the toilet paper.


Even split the ply if you like

I reuse the same bowl and cup. Instead of washing it after every use, I throw it in the fridge until next time.

Why drink it then lol. Not only does it taste awful, I don’t get the same caffeinated feeling from it. I usually end up in a worse mood after keurig coffee.

I don't care about saving the washing machine. I just use the same towel until it's gross. I live isolated in mountains so I usually walk out on the deck and hang towel in the breeze. So it can really go indefinitely. Lavender and mountain air fresh.

I use the same coffee cup (and insulated water cup) and just occasionally rinse it. I am super sensitive to dishwasher detergent and dish soap flavor. Bleh. I can't taste it on silverware so dishwasher it goes. I run the dishwasher at least every other day. When it breaks I'll buy another disposable appliance.

Wife is in charge of that. One of my dogs is obsessed with me, and I have to keep her out of the bed. But she wins often so sheets get dedogged often.

Bonus: Ex-Officio underwear can last way longer than is socially acceptable without a wash.

Y'all are washing your towels after every shower? I use mine for a few days before I swap it out. You're clean getting out of the shower, why would you need to rotate it more often than every few days?

I'll typically use the same cup all day for water then run the dishwasher at night

The OT will eat someone else’s arse - very gladly! But use a towel that dried your own CLEAN arse the next day for hair drying is unacceptable?

Bed sheets- once every 2 weeks (shower morning and night)

Towels- will re use 2-3 days, unless I shower close together.

Never re-use drink ware unless its just a water cup. Dishwasher usually runs once a day since we meal prep all of our food and constantly have dirty containers
