Maybe the answer should be: “after x showers” rather than “after x days”. 

I often shower twice a day (regular exercise) so I always have two towels on rotation as I find one towel doesn't dry overnight. Nothing worse than trying to dry yourself with a damp towel. Both towels go in the wash weekly and are replaced by two more towels to enter the rotation.

On the subject of when are they retired. Once every year or two my wife cleans out the cupboards and I come home to a pile of old towels that have now been donated to garage duty for the dirty, oily jobs. Some times I get in trouble when she finds one of the "good" towels in the garage and its alway my fault. I used to argue but after 23yrs I now know its a futile exercise so I just cop it and beg for forgiveness.

Old towels here get used for cat duty.  Despite not being a ginger he has no fear of water and comes in absolutely soaking wet when it's raining, fur plastered to his body.

I need to build a travel guide interaction site nonprofit, like a forum. I have not used Discourse but it seems to be all the go! or would you stick to likes of Flarum?

On the subject, a related question would be "when do you toss a towel"?  No matter how much you pay for them they all seem to go threadbare after awhile and/or turn into 60 grit sandpaper.

 

Laundry treatment has an effect. Front load short wash is gentlest, agitator top load is hardest. But tumble drying really hammers them.

After wiping up an oily or paint mess what happens to them?

Old but usable towels and sheets get recycled at the local vet...

Screw them up in a tight ball and pack them in with the other oily rags in the corner.  You need a new garage right?

Paint would be discarded. Oil, Hang them on the washing line and hit them with the jet washer to get rid of most of it. Then they go in the washing machine but only with other garage towels. There is no mixing of garage towels with any other laundry.

How much homework does your first year high school student get each day? It feels like my daughter gets 4 hours a night.

I think 4 hours is a lot. Usually we had 1-2 Hours of homework, not every night (3 days a week on average), and we were encouraged to spend 30 minutes a day revising the lessons we were taught.

If she finishes at 3:30pm and takes 30 minutes to ride home, she is essentially busy till 7pm, excluding dinner/afternoon tea.  She was given (so she says) 8 hours over the weekend.

That excludes Chores, after school activities like Sport, free time, etc etc.
