Would you consider a towel just cleaned but was then laid on by a dog okay to use? This is for those who are much better than i, i wanted some opinions as to if I am being OCD right now because i am about to kill my mother. So what happened is I am staying with my mom right now. She did my laundry without my permission. I am a bit particular with how i like to do my laundry and she has a big habit of doing things i view as unsanitary and then taunting me with my OCD and telling me I’m psycho for telling her shes wrong. This time she washed the towels I use and then let our family dog lay on them while we folded them. Now i love our dog he’s my baby but that doesn’t change the fact that he runs around outside and goes to dog parks were I’m sure he steps in pee the whole time and she only gives him a bath maybe every 4 months. When i got mad and said i cant use them and i need to rewash them she basically told me that if i rewash them i have to leave and then mixed them with all the other towels which makes me feel like i need to wash all of them. So would you be worried about this? Consider it clean or not? Im trying to not go crazy or care but i cant stop imagining all the shit and pee on those towel and how I’m going to get a vaginal infection or pink eye from it when i dry off from a shower. Im pisst and the more i think about it the more i cant sleep and the more wholes i want to punch into the wall and her.

I’m so sorry you’re mocked.

My mom is the same way when I lived with her she was always touching my stuff contaminating everything. I found out she is crazy too JUST In other ways manipulative etc so I no longer talk to her. She use to act like it was super easy I could just basically switch the ocd off! I have contamination ocd and I do let my chihuahuas lay on clean laundry and it doesn’t bother me. If they were bug dogs I wouldn’t but I don’t like petting big dogs usually because they’re not as clean it seems people with big dogs they always smell and feel dirty cuz they don’t bathe them very often or just the way there are not sure cuz actually I don’t bathe my dogs very often but I do wipe them down with wipes every couple weeks

Getting a vaginal infection and pink eye from stuff is my biggest concern too! I’m not afraid to ingest germs it’s just those two things I’m not sure how much germs those areas can actually handle.

As long as the towel(s) don’t look like there’s any fecal matter and don’t smell like it then I would feel safe to use them maybe just air dry down there if you’re still worried and don’t dry your eyes they can air dry I do that all the time I never actually dry those areas with a towel not because of a fear of germs but because I just like to air dry most areas I just pat the arms legs etc quickly. Dogs do clean their paws too. :)

@Ela Yeah i hate it. I thinks shes generally an unclean person so to her everything i do is OCD when technically like 50% isn’t. Thanks for your insight lol wish i could say it made me feel better about having to use towels like this for the next month since like i said she mixed it with our other towels just to spite me. Still, thanks!
