3. Washing Towels at Low Temperatures
If you’re washing your towels regularly, make sure you’re doing it correctly. Washing them at temperatures lower than 60°C can fail to kill bacteria.
Be sure to follow the washing instructions on your towels and wash them at the recommended temperature to ensure they’re truly clean and fresh.
4. Using Too Much Detergent or Fabric Softener
It’s easy to think that more detergent or fabric softener means cleaner towels, but that’s not the case. Towels are designed to absorb liquid, so excess detergent can get trapped in the fibers, failing to rinse out properly. This can lead to bacteria and mold buildup.
Follow the recommended amount of detergent and fabric softener—or skip the softener entirely, as it can reduce towel absorbency.
5. Not Shaking the Towels
One small step that’s often overlooked is shaking your towels after washing and drying them. This simple action helps remove any lingering dust and leftover detergent, ensuring your towels are as fresh as possible.
Share these tips with your loved ones so they can also keep their towels fresh and clean. Happy washing!
