If you want, you can throw your wet towels in the drier, the heat will kill most bacteria growing on the towel, but you would still need to wash them at least once a week.
NinjaNeer answered Tuesday July 27 2010, 12:14 am: I wash them every week. It's not because you get dirt from your body on them; the moisture allows for bacteria and mold to grow on them over the course of the week. Washing them helps keep them from going all stanky and stiff. [ NinjaNeer's advice column | Ask NinjaNeer A Question ]
