Towel? What do you mean, the one you dry yourself with after a shower? You gotta swap that at least twice a week. Toilets can do with just a top wipe-down whenever it starts looking nasty. :p

I clean my toilet once/week

I do laundry every other week, but I'll only use a towel 2-3 times before chucking it into the hamper

What do toilets & towels have in common? They should all be white!! Bleach is your friend.

I wash towels once a week and the toilet when needed, which is usually twice a week. So I guess my answer is "toilet" but they are both frequent.

How the hell do your toilets need to be cleaned so often? Wow.

The singular tense of "towel" confuses me. I use a clean/fresh towel daily. I usually wash a bunch of towels weekly. The toilet gets cleaned whenever it looks dirty... which is far less often.

You posted exactly what I would have.

You can use one to clean the other and vice versa so they both can be cleaned with equal frequency.

Towels once a week when I do my laundry.

Toilet whenever it grosses me out too much to sit down on it, which is usually every week and a half. Thankfully it only takes a couple minutes to clean. I really should wipe down my shower though, come to think of it :hmm:.

Towel - laundry every other week or so, but towel changed every week to every other week.

Toilet - whenever I clean my bathroom - usually once every few weeks.

I don't really "need" to, it's just part of my normal bathroom cleaning routine.

You guys make me feel like a slob.

My bathroom is the only room I don't clean and keep neat. I'm always rushed when I'm in there and it so easy to close the door and forget about it.

If you havent been to boot camp, or worked in a hospital, I probably think you're a slob.
To me most civilians are filthy animals.

Oddly, I generally keep the bathroom the cleanest room in the house. If someone pops in unexpectedly & then ends up needing to use the bathroom, I want it clean in there.

Yep. I have a neat freak thing going on in the bathroom. The other rooms I keep pretty well picked up...but the bathroom needs to be spotless.

I also want it clean after they leave there.

Plus, it's the easiest room to keep clean. If I went a month without cleaning the bathroom (I don't), I don't think it would take more than 5 or 6 minutes to have that room spotless.
