Towels vs. Bath Mats: Proper Care and Cleaning Towels should be changed after three to four uses and washed every two weeks. Rotating towels allows them to dry completely, preventing musty smells and discoloration.

Bath mats require more frequent cleaning. Their dampness and bathroom conditions promote mold and bacteria growth. Wash bath mats at least once a week to maintain hygiene.
