Why should you wash towels?

I was thinking about it today. Shouldn’t you (in theory) be clean when you get out of the shower? Aren’t dirty towels just a sign that you aren’t doing a good enough job?

Because the mold-stink will make your roommates complain and feel awkward for having to do such, trust me on this one.

Yup, peedub has it right. Moisture = mold. In addition to being very unpleasant, its a health risk.

Because you wipe you dirtiness all over them. I think it’s a legit reason.

Unless you’re remarkably thorough with your steel-wool sponge in the shower, there will be residue…...skin-cells and such, in addition to the moisture, so you’re basically rubbing the towel in organic matter and moisture…..not something you want to leave to cultivate, I’m sure.
