Towels to wash hands

[mickyc]

that's ok as long as I could paint them they would work. I would paint them to match my wall. I could always buy 2.

I just use the one towel for all of them and change it daily but they are little enough that I am the one washing their hands so I know by the time we get to use the towel that the hands are clean. When I had older kids using the bathroom on their own they had their own towel and I had a row of hooks on the back of the bathroom door to clip them to. That way they were out of sight but available to the child.

Thanks everyone. I will likely just use the 1 towel like I always do. It is good to know that everyone else uses one towel too! lol.

Hmmm. Now I'm thinking that maybe mine don't need one each after all.

I'm not a huge clean freak at all but I'd rather make sure the toys are clean than do an extra load of towels every week. I think a towel per person is a nice idea but for me, not needed.

Parents ask a lot of silly questions sometimes but this has never come up, so I'm sure most parents are okay with one towel

My children are colour-coded. LOL

I have something like this but mine have 6 double hooks http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/presto-universal-5-hooks/hand-towels/6000095238297

I have one set by the front door so they each have a hook for their outdoor clothes but I have a set in the bathroom too. In the bathroom, they each have a towel and a facecloth which match but all 6 children have a different colour.

I just bought two stacks of 12 facecloths from Walmart which had three different colours in the stack. Then I bought two matching hand towels. That way, even if one set are still in the laundry, I still have an extra set. I don't change mine daily. I have fresh ones on Monday and then switch them out at naptime on Wednesday so it averages 2.5 days but since they have their own, it seems to work. I suppose if you were really worried about germs and didn't have time to do a load of laundry, you could put them in the dryer on high for a while. That would likely kill any germs anyway.

I wash my towel about every three days I would think, but the hand towel get changed daily.
