Idk a whole bunch of times. You're just drying off water, they're not getting very dirty lol

The water you're removing from your body onto the towel hangs there and becomes moldy.

It sounds like you've never heard of hanging laundry out to dry before. That used to be the only way to do it before electric dryers were invented so it is a tried and true method, and many people still do it. It is a particularly common in apartments. It can help you save money on quarters over using an electric dryer at a laundromat without needing to install a large costly and expensive dryer that consumes gigawatts of electricity in your home home.

Hanging a wet towel on a towel rod does not sound fundamentally much different than hanging it on a clothes line, and indeed, as an alternative to a clothesline, they sell drying racks[nymag.com] where you hang the clothes exactly like you would on a towel rod. The only practical difference is that the point of contact on the drying rack might be a little thinner than on a typical towel rod.

Also, even if it was a problem, how many times you use the towel before washing it would not necessarily be the measure of frequency you use to solve that problem anyway, since it would be a time based issue.

You probably wouldn't like how often I use my towels before washing them. Look, it's my first time I have a washing machine in my apartment and I am not sure how much it can fit but let's just say you wouldn't want to touch anything :/

I believe you would be surprised how nasty humans really are, search deeper to learn more nasty habits the majority of people do...

I hung towels out to dry for laundry. You don't have them folded at all and they are fresh out of the wash, not fresh off of wiping itself across your body.

But sure, don't trust me. Just read up on it literally anywhere.

You're supposed to wash towels?😳

[Vince ✟]

I just air dry.

[EASY PETE]

i dry myself with the leaves from my quintillions of plants in my garden

[Insomniac Jack]

I use a bidet and small moist towelette to wipe, which I then wash in the sink with handsoap and water. I also carry one in my back pocket at all times. Saves me a fortune on toilet paper since I usually have at least 3 bowel movements/day. Also great for the environment.

Air drying is best and you should use a hair dryer for those hard to reach areas.

Well, I hope you can forgive me for the false assumption then. You would be surprised at just how much people take for granted though.

Now it is a matter of course that I trust that people do not typically rub their wet clothes all over their bodies when they are fresh out of the wash. However, I had thought we had moved beyond that point in the discussion in consideration that you are freshly cleaned and out of the shower when you use a towel, and that you were bringing up a brand new separate point of contention by bringing up how wet towels might get moldy.

Additionally, turnabout is fair play: I am well ware that the traditional method of hanging clothes. The image of a maid hanging clothes out to dry on a clothesline with clothespins outdoors is very iconic.[etc.usf.edu] However, there is often more than one way to do things, and I specifically wrote my post the way I did for a particular reason.

In more modern times, it is increasingly common for people who hang dry their clothes to need to do so in small indoor spaces. Spaces that do not necessarily have the length or height of space to accommodate a traditional clothesline, so they use collapsible rod based racks instead. When people use a rod based rack to hang dry clothes, they do fold them over the rod. The rods are often too thick to accommodate clothespins, and even if they were not, the collapsible racks are often too low to the ground to really let clothes fully hang anyway.

I did not even ask anybody to trust me on that. I already provided a link to "literally anywhere" containing a list of clothes drying racks, complete with some demonstrative pictures of their intended usage as evidence in the post you quoted, with clothes folded over the rods, just in case anybody was unacquainted with that particular method. Since evidently, "literally anywhere" was not good enough though, how about a video demonstration? Also, sometimes you need fold blankets and sheets over the clothesline too anyway,[www.pinterest.com] since those are rather too big to allow them to hang fully. For most practical intents and purposes, a blanket is essentially the same as a really a large towel.

Besides that, most clothes are effectively pieces of cloth folded around each-other and woven shut anyway (unlike towels) which vaguely renders the point about folding moot anyway, unless I misunderstood something.

Definitely more than that. I don't have a strict rule, though.

[ṼṏẌṏḭḊ]

Many times.
