PLACES BACTERIA HIDE IN HOMES

DAY 5

All your efforts to keep yourself clean become futile if you use a dirty towel to dry your body, which is why researchers suggest frequent washing of towels to avoid infection.
It’s easy to assume that because you’re clean when you dry off with a bath towel that your towel stays pretty clean even after a few uses. But bath towels host a variety of microorganisms that you might not welcome into your hygiene routine.

Towels absorb a lot of water and remain damp for hours, which is the perfect breeding ground for unwanted germs. That’s why towels should be washed every three uses. Yes! Surprised? . You are not alone because an average home in Nigeria is one towel a week. Very few does two towels a week.

You have 19 million skin cells and 650 sweat glands in every inch of your body. And one powerful tool keeps it all clean day after day: your bath towel.
Dead cells make up the top 20 layers of your skin. Some of these cells scrub off in the shower, but many of them will end up on your bath towel every day.
The best way to prevent germs from growing on your bath towel is to let it dry completely between each use, and wash it frequently.
Factors that warrant more frequent washing

There are some circumstances that call for washing your bath towels more frequently than twice a week:

Any towel that has body fluid on it should be washed after only one use.

Towels kept in a bathroom that’s usually damp and don’t dry fully should be washed after one use.

RECOMMENDATION
*It’s ideal to reuse a bath towel two or three times between washes.

*Regular laundry washes are sufficient for killing germs and refreshing your towels. To keep towels their cleanest, always hang them and let them fully dry between uses.
*Have at least 3 towels to make your routine more effective.
*keep your towels far from your toilet seat
*Never keep damp towels with other dirty clothes
