Household Items That We're Washing Too Much, Or Way Too Little

Save A Tree, Don't Overdo It With The Towels

Remember when hotels introduced that clever towel policy? You could hang up a towel if you planned to reuse it, and housekeeping would replace only the used ones. This idea wasn’t just convenient—it was a smart way to save money, reduce waste, and protect the environment. And hunch over what? It’s something we can easily do at home too. Think about it: towels don’t go bad after one use, especially if you let them dry properly between showers

Depending on your shower routine, a bath towel can last up to a week before needing a wash. Just avoid cramming too many towels into the washer at once; it’s better to wash them in smaller loads for a thorough clean. Why waste water, energy, and detergent on unnecessary laundry when a simple habit change can make a big difference? Plus, it’s one less chore to worry about. So, how about giving it a try? You might be surprised how much you save—both for your wallet and the planet.
