What do you do with your towel after you dry yourself off after a shower?
Most people hang it on the radiator to dry before using it again.
But such actions can have undesirable consequences for your own comfort and health. Let's find out why it is better to give up this habit.
Reduced heating efficiency
The towel on the radiator makes it more difficult for the heat to be evenly distributed throughout the room. This can cause the temperature in the room to drop by almost 20%.
Because of this, it is necessary to increase the heat supply and, accordingly, pay more for heating.
Increase humidity
Moisture from a towel placed on a radiator evaporates and settles in the room, thereby promoting the growth of fungi and mold.
It probably goes without saying that these pathogens cause serious damage to both the home's finish and the health of its inhabitants.
Dirt and allergens on towels
Agree, it is difficult to maintain perfect cleanliness of batteries - upon careful inspection, particles of dust and dirt will certainly be found on them.
During the drying process, they are transferred to the towel and then to the skin. This results in irritation, allergies and skin diseases, which is especially dangerous for children and people with sensitive skin.
How to Dry Towels
Instead of leaving textiles to dry on radiators, use specially designed dryers (floor or wall-mounted), electric towel warmers, or hang your laundry on the balcony.
