I have a few sets of spare towels. 1 set are old and used for drying the dog and the odd water spill etc. 1 set are ornamental, new, never been used but are still functional. 1 set are new Sheridan towels that may have come from a fancy hotel.

Which ones do I keep for emergencies and/or drying the dog and which ones do I donate?

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I would keep them all for the future, either to personally use, for household use or for the dog.

The thing is they take up a whole self in the linen press and the newer ones never get used and they're white which I hate.

That's not including the 2 regular towels the man and I have each and the 5 the kid has and the 2 for drying hands.

There's too many towels in this house for 3 people and a little dog!

if you hate white, then dispose of them! You don't have to put up with that shit in your own house!

Animal shelters will take ANY towel in any condition. Sound like the 'good' towels could go to Vinnies or similar. The Sheridan ex hotel towels should maybe be kept as back up dog towels.

This is pretty much what I have decided.

then give all the spares away

space in your house is a valuable thing too ๐Ÿ‘
