When a person plans to wash his clothes, it seems to him that all he has to do is just take them out of the laundry basket, put them in the machine, add powder, set the washing mode and go about his business.

In reality, it's not that simple. Not all things can be washed without thinking, for example, light fabrics are best washed separately from black or colored ones.

And don’t forget about delicate washing: it’s suitable for wool and silk.

But often people do not think about the fact that towels, whether bath or kitchen, should also not be put in the machine together.

In fact, kitchen towels accumulate a huge number of bacteria, including E. coli, which is harmful to human health.

It is worth remembering that a person does not always wipe only his hands with a kitchen towel. He can also wipe a table with it, on which a huge amount of dirt has accumulated.

And when it's time to wash, and a person, without thinking, throws kitchen towels along with the rest of the laundry, then he can make a disastrous mistake, because in this case all the fabrics will become contaminated.

But to protect yourself and wash your kitchen towels, you just need to run a separate wash cycle for them, so they will be clean and safe to use.

Of course, such things need to be washed in hot water and add not only powder, but also a disinfectant that will fight bacteria. Both bath and kitchen towels should be washed once every 7-10 days.
