Do you have a towel washing schedule?
There was a thread recently about how often you wash your towels & linens. I am looking for some practical systems to implement. We will be moving next week into the house we just built. It's large. I have no idea how I'll keep up with all the housekeeping. (I will be getting cleaning help, but there are so many little things to do besides deep cleaning.) Right now I'm thinking about towels. I don't currently have a great system for changing out all the towels in the house. We all use our bath towels several times except for one DD who likes a new one every time. When I notice the kitchen and downstairs bathroom hand towels getting gross I change them, and that usually prompts me to wash all the towels in the house. So it could happen once a week, twice a week, sometimes takes me a day or so to get a new towel down to the bathroom that is towel-less. I'd like to systemize this.
I plan to purchase new hand towels for the kitchen and powder room and a new set of towels for DH & myself. My kids will inherit our old ones. I'm thinking to get two different colors and set up 2 days a week when I change them. So let's say gray goes into the laundry & blue gets put out out. 3 days later blue goes into the laundry & gray comes back out. Am I overthinking things? My kitchen is all grey and white, so grey towels will work well. My powder room is grey black and silver and I plan to keep an eye out for a black towel with our initial. Am I overthinking it with the colors? I can't believe this post got so long. Please tell me you have a system that's really simple and becomes as easy as changing your socks.
