How often should you change your towels: you'll be surprised

Everyone knows the feeling of comfort after a bath or shower when you wrap yourself in a fluffy towel. However, in addition to the pleasant sensations, it is important to remember about hygiene and germs that can accumulate on towels. After all, even clean skin contains microorganisms after washing, which are then transferred to the towel.

The warm and humid atmosphere of the bathroom is an ideal environment for the growth of bacteria and fungi. Using a stale towel can lead to infections and unpleasant odors. Good Housekeeping writes about this.

How often you need to change towels:

• Body towel: 3-4 uses.
• Towel for the gym: after each use.
• Hand towel: 1 time per week (2-3 days if there are children, animals, or frequent guests).
• Face towel: 2-3 days (more often if you have a problem skin).
• Flannel for washing: after each use.

Maintaining the hygiene of towels:

• Wash towels at a temperature of 60°C.
• Dry towels thoroughly after washing.
• Store towels in a dry place.
• Do not use one towel for more than one person.

Remember:

• Compliance with the rules of towel hygiene is a guarantee of your health.
• Regularly washing and drying towels will help prevent the growth of germs.
• Using fresh towels is a guarantee of pleasant sensations and comfort.
