*Sports journalist Jemele Hill revealed in a tweet last week that she changes her bath towel every 3-4 days.
In a tweet, Hill wrote: “So I change my towel every 3-4 days. I feel like that’s about right. Am I wrong for this? Changing your towels every day feels excessive to me.”
Many of Hill’s followers weighed in, with filmmaker Erroll Webber writing in the comments: “I change my bedding and bathroom linens every 4 days. Anything longer than that is just unhealthy. I also have the routine of going from the shower straight to bed. I believe I should put a clean body in a clean bed. The bed is my clean sanctuary. Also why I don’t have pets.”
Another Twitter user added, “Is a full week too long? (will prob delete this later),” while a third commenter added, “This seems right. I’m on the same schedule.”
