towel reuse

Skip the laundry

Towel reuse is the practice of using hotel towels more than once before laundering, promoted as an environmental measure.

Signs in hotel bathrooms typically ask guests to hang towels to signal they'll use them again: Please hang your towel if you'd like to reuse it.

The concept has become shorthand for modest green gestures that may benefit businesses as much as the environment.
