Reasons not to wash the floor with an old towel

Most towels are made from terry or bamboo fabrics. This material has difficulty absorbing large amounts of moisture and is absolutely not suitable for washing floors.

The towel is difficult to wring out, stains and water drops may remain on the floor. During the washing process, the towel may lose its lint, which will make the floor look even dirtier.

What else don't you wash your floor with?

Never use old shirts or vests as rags for washing the floor. Forget about using children's clothes when it comes to cleaning the house. Use special napkins to clean surfaces from dirt and dust.
