How not to use your bath towels?
Having soft & fluffy bath towels is one of the best investments you can make for your skin. But unfortunately, bath towels are the mostΒ neglected accessory in our homes. We use and toss them around andΒ completely forget that they exist until the next use. It is vital toΒ take care of our bath towels as they tend to be the breeding groundΒ for bacteria and microbes.
Here are a few ways in which you may be mishandling your bath towels.
Β Using too much fabric softener
Skip using fabric softeners, as they tend to coat the towelβs fibersΒ with a wax-like substance, making it less absorbent over time. InsteadΒ of using fabric softeners to keep your towels soft & fluffy, weΒ recommend using vinegar as it prevents soap residue and controls mustyΒ odor.
Β Heavy use of detergent
We want our towels to be extra clean and to do so, we are tempted toΒ use way too much detergent. But this strategy is fruitless, as we endΒ up using more detergent than the amount recommended for the towels. IfΒ not rinsed thoroughly, the residual detergent can leave your towelsΒ stiff, rough, and tacky. Also, using way too much detergent canΒ ultimately harm the fabric and your skin as well.
Hanging wet towels together
Hang two or more towels separately in a hook to help prevent moldΒ growth and debris. Debris and moisture could get trapped between theΒ layers, and it is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. So dryΒ your towels separately in a sunlit area.Β Not washing your towels often enough
How often do you wash your bath towels? If itβs anything that isΒ less than twice a week, it is not enough. The main reason why weΒ donβt wash our bath towels more often is they take longer to dry.Β When our bath towels are not laundered properly, they tend to getΒ sticky and stinky. According to the American Cleaning Institute, it isΒ recommended to launder our towels after every third use. A clean towelΒ is ideal for clear skin, and especially if you have kids around, it isΒ vital to have towels that repel bacteria and mold.
You are sure to have a healthy and clean bathing experience once youΒ avoid the above common mistakes while using towels. Always rememberΒ that taking proper care of your towels plays a crucial role in havingΒ a healthy skin.
