So my Mother-in-law is here visiting for a few weeks for the Holidays. She is a really nice lady and easy to have here for the time and its great for my wife as we live in the Sacramento area and Mom is in New Orleans. Here is the problem.... When she showers she uses the towel once and throws it in the laundry room.

My question is....how many times do you use a towel before its dirty? We average about a week in our house. One towel a day is a bit excessive I feel as I don't typically do a load of laundry every day. How about the rest of you.

On the plus side that's about the worst I can say about her. Does anyone have any Holiday-related visitor horror stories they care to share?

Happy Holidays to All....

We typically swap out once a week or so as well. Towel is hung up to dry after the shower.
 
Give her a smaller towel each day. By the time you get to face cloth size she will probably tell you she can use the one from yesterday.
I have a friend who used to get a lot of relatives that would stay for their entire vacation. Eat his food and drink his alcohol. He said it got so bad he felt like he needed to put numbers on the bedroom doors. He felt it was payback time so he and the husband in law went to the liquor store. My friend purposely had no alcohol in the house. Got the in law to drive. Told him they should get enough for a month or so and he wanted nothing but the best. Filled up 2 carts and when they got to the till the in law expected him to pay. Friend said forgot my wallet at home do you mind getting this for now. He said the In Laws never came back the next year.
 
Show her how to use your machine and get her to do her towels, and yours too.
 
We change ours out at around 3 days or so. Based on how often we use the washing machine, we'd be out of towels. You either have a lot of spare towels, or do laundry often!!!
 
I change out daily. Do you wipe dry your butt and reproductive organs and then wipe your face on the same towel the next day? Just because the towel is dry doesn't mean the poop particles aren't there. Gross. You probably use one sheet of toilet paper too.
 
Well hopefully I've cleaned out the poop particles during the shower. Otherwise it was a waste of time and water. We put ours in the dryer after use. With your mom-in-law I'd just give her a new towel each day and launder when needed. It's only for a few weeks and be thankful she is still with you.

I guess you you don't wash those areas when you shower.....why not? If you wipe your ass after showering and still get a skid mark your doing it wrong.


gross
 
I wash those areas. I have 6 wall jets to get stuff clean but you KNOW there are always stragglers.
 
When I was in the Army we used the lighter test.....





See when you use a towel it collects body fat, soap scum, skin follicles, you get the picture.

So when the towel is hanging over a railing, you run a cigarette lighter across the bottom of it.........when it goes wooooomph.......time for another towel.

Now next weeks lesson boys and girls is how to know when you need to wash your undies

Well....If you use the soap and water correctly aren't you only drying those "special" areas that should be clean? As for the TP, due to years of boating, 4 squares are allowed.

That's what the tag is for on the towel.... Tag side = nuts and butts.... non-tag side = hands and face........
 
I got an idea. How about a bath towel that is labeled: "Dry Butt and Genitals Here" and "Dry Face here".

This could be huge. Big patent... go on Shark Tank... Sell to hotels that are "green"...

Screw you all. I'm going to be rich.
