Towels vs. Bath Mats: Proper Care and Cleaning For good hygiene, towels should be changed after every three to four uses. Rotating between two towels allows one to dry completely between uses, so you only need to wash them about every two weeks. Not following this routine can lead to musty smells and cause white towels to look gray over time. Bath mats require even more frequent cleaning. Their dampness, combined with the warmth and darkness of bathrooms, creates ideal conditions for mold and bacteria. Bath mats should be washed at least once a week to remove dirt and keep your bathroom sanitary.
