Ahh our bath towels. These bathroom accessories that we choose with care. They are our allies, to warm us up once we get out of our shower. They dry our skin without attacking it, in short, they are part of the essentials of everyday life. However, they are also real nests for germs . Dead skin, saliva, fungi, urinary secretions, and even feces are all things that you leave without realizing it on a towel when you dry yourself. All these small microorganisms take advantage of the humid and warm environment of the bathroom to spread. We give you the little habits to adopt formaintaining your towels.
The silliest mistakes are the ones many people make. Laziness, or lack of attention, we wrongly neglect a few small routines essential for our hygiene. Among them, the most important:changing bath towels regularly. The ideal would be to change it every 3 days , and big max, once a week. It is equally important not to share your towel. It doesn't matter if it's your sister or your partner, each to their own towel. Unless the idea of sharing your microbes and developing twice as many appeals to you. Also remember to have 3 towels available. One for the body, one for the face and one for the hair. Each part of the body has its own microbes that you don't want to put on others.
To wash your towels, prefer cleaning with hot water. The heat of the water will disintegrate the dirt residue that is firmly on your towel. If you machine wash them,avoid fabric softener. If this captures bad odors, it also softens the fibers of the textile which become less absorbent. And if you want clean towels, make sure your washing machine , be it too. Once a month, it must be well cleaned , to reduce the risk of dirt becoming encrusted on our laundry, but also that it will tarnish it.
