A towel is an important attribute for care procedures, so it is important to provide the textile with regular care.

Since the fabric is in direct contact with the skin, you need to be careful and cautious.

If you wash your towel less than required, you cannot avoid skin and health problems.

How often should textiles be washed?

It may surprise many people to know that it is advisable to wash towels as often as possible to prevent them from becoming a source of bacteria.

Microbes thrive in damp fabric. As a result of pathogenic flora activity, the towel may simply become unsafe for the skin.

Therefore, use a regular towel after a shower no more than three times.

If you use the accessory for more delicate parts of the body, then washing should occur every time after contact with the body.

The same rule applies to towels used for the face. If you do not wash the textile, you can provoke the appearance of acne. Paper towels are a great alternative.

But the textiles that we use after washing our hands and feet need to be washed twice a week.
