Does Your Husband Use the Same Bath Towel Over and Over Again.....?

Now that we have all been paying more attention to things like germs and handwashing, you may have wondered how often should you change your towels-and whether it's sanitary to use that same piece of cloth day after day after day. It's understandable if you assume that your towel is perfectly clean when you use it to dry your freshly washed hands or your body when you are just out of the shower. After all, you are using fabric that's theoretically only really touched your just-cleaned body. But our skin is never exactly void of microorganisms-and these can end up on your towels. That said, does that actually matter when it comes to your cleanliness and health? If you can not remember the last time you changed your hand or bath towel (and are wondering whether that's actually a problem), we asked a microbiologist and dermatologist for their input.Read on for their takes on how often should you change your towels. First, let's look at what could be on your towels. Everyone has bacteria, viruses, and fungi living on the surface of their skin, which may sound a little alarming, but is generally not a big deal and is entirely normal. In fact, these microorganisms make up your skin's microbiome, which helps protect you against pathogens, so you can actually feel pretty good about having them. Each time you dry off with a towel, you transfer these microbes onto the material, along with moisture from the water on your skin and your dead skin cells, says Scott Meschke, Ph.D., an environmental and occupational health microbiologist and professor and associate chair at the University of Washington. Your skin cells and moisture are basically food for microbes and allow them to multiply.Whereas your skin produces acids that prevent microbes from growing more than they should, your towels are not as lucky. So if your towels stay damp and contain your skin cells, then these microbes can colonize, according to Dr. Meschke. If you share your bath towel with a partner, then your towel will contain even more moisture and skin particles, meaning you will potentially have more bacteria, virus, and fungi growth. This is especially true with hand towels if you live with multiple people or frequently have guests over and you all use the same towel to dry your hands. And since most of your towels probably hang in your bathroom, exposure to shower steam can keep your towels damp for longer.So, what does all of this mean for your health?Even if you use your towel for weeks and the material is crawling with bacteria, viruses, and fungi, you probably wo not experience any negative effects health-wise. That said, anyone who reuses their towels could possibly get folliculitis, which looks similar to acne, says Amy Kassouf, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist at Cleveland Clinic. This condition occurs when you develop a bacterial infection in a hair follicle, according to the Mayo Clinic. So, in this case, reusing your towel that has bacteria on it could potentially spread that same bacteria around your body and infect one of your hair follicles. Although anyone can get folliculitis, people with acne are more susceptible to the condition. (Wearing tight clothing, shaving, and waxing can also injure your hair follicles and cause folliculitis.) The condition is completely treatable with medications like antibiotics, according to the Mayo Clinic.And again, folliculitis is just a possibility from reusing towels, not a guarantee. People who have a skin condition like eczema and frequently reuse towels are potentially more at risk of developing an infection from something like Staphylococcus aureus, or staph, a bacteria that often lives on people's skin, says Dr. Kassouf. As we previously mentioned, your skin's microbiome protects against pathogens. But if you have eczema, for example, a skin condition where the outer layer of your skin is prone to dryness and cracks, then harmful pathogens can potentially enter your body more easily, according to the Mayo Clinic. In the case of using dirty towels when you have any openings like this in your skin, you could theoretically develop something like a staph infection.Survey: How often do you wash your bath towels?i use a different clean towel about once a week. its only being used to wipe clean water off my clean body so it doesnt get that bad, but after being damp so frequently after a while it starts to get kind of gross

Now that we are on lockdown, you are probably doing your best to focus on life's little pleasures - like lighting a scented candle while working from home, or taking a long, relaxing bath on the weekend. But once you've finished soaking, having to get out of the tub and wrap yourself up in a shabby, threadbare towel is a surefire way to spoil the moment. If yours are looking worse for wear, we would recommend investing in a set of fluffy new cotton ones to wrap yourself in once you are done. Whether you like a classic all-white look (so you can pretend you are on holiday in some swanky hotel), prefer to go for Egyptian cotton, or want to accessorise your bathroom with a more colourful patterned set, we've rounded up our favourite bath towels you can buy in 2020.These are probably the fluffiest, cosiest towels we've ever tried. We were seriously impressed with the quality and the ribbed design looks really stylish, too.There are no bundles available to buy, but this just means you can create a coordinated scheme comprised of exactly what you would like to stock up on (not everyone needs flannels, for example, and all the colours on offer tone well together). Best of all, they are are currently on sale - stock up now and treat yourself to a relaxing spa-like bath experience this weekend. If your tastes run a little more maximalist, have a look at Made's towel collection. It's colourful without being childish and each pattern comes in three sizes, so you can create a full scheme. We found it tricky to narrow down a favourite pattern - as well as these grey and mustard stripes, we liked this blue spotty set and this paprika option. Saying that, there are plenty of stylish solid colours to covet too - we love these muted dark green ones, especially. Bundles available: Yes.Depending on the design, Made offers some sets of four and some sets of two. Towel size: Bath sheet, bath towel, hand towel For bold and beautiful tones, John Lewis's range has the edge - and it also offers a guest towel, which not all the brands on this list does. Forget boring white (although this is, of course, available) you can choose from plenty of vibrant hues here, including this hibiscus pink, mustard yellow, violet and cayenne orange. Bundles available: No, you must stock up separatelyTowel size: Bath sheet, bath towel, guest towel, hand towel When it comes to recreating a spa-like experience in at home, The White Company is our go-to. Along with its luxurious bath oils and beautifully-scented diffusers, the brand also has a range of high-quality towels in a range of sophisticated neutral shades to pull together a properly relaxing scheme.Unlike any of the others featured here, TWC offers a jumbo-sized towel that's even bigger than a bath sheet - you will never want to get dressed after wrapping yourself up in it. Bundles available: No, you must stock up separatelyTowel size: Super jumbo, bath sheet, bath towel, hand towel, face cloth This is Hampton & Astley's signature towel bundle and it's not hard to see why. When we tried this set, we found them to be lightweight (and therefore quick to dry) without losing absorbency or scrimping on softness. As a bonus, if you have not ordered from here before, you can get a 50% discount on your first order, bringing the price for seven towels to just under 33! We tried the pink option, but there are plenty of other colours to choose from (including this lovely caramel tone) as well. Bundles available: Yes, a set of sevenTowel sizes included: A bath sheet, a bath towel, two hand towels and two face cloths As you would expect, Anthropologie's towel range is gorgeous - and surprisingly affordable.These soothing soft green patterned numbers are available in bath towel and hand towel sizes, but if you want something a little more vibrant, we would recommend the Kesh towels or the Casablanca range. If you want to wrap yourself up in something really heavy and plush, try these 750GSM towels. They are made from soft and fluffy long-staple cotton that will wear well and retain its colour properly. Choose from single towels or sets, but be quick, as there's currently a sale on, so grab a bargain while you can.How often do you wash your bath towels?Your supposed to wash them????

The best bath towels feel like being tucked into a giant hug, cocooning you in just the right way after a long, hot shower. They should dry you off quickly without getting waterlogged in the process. And with more wash and wear than most household items, they also have to go the distance without ending up in tatters. It's a tall order by any standard. The right bath towels, if made well, can last as long as five to 10 years with proper care.But there are so many on the market that finding ones that work for you could take a year's worth of trial and error. So from waffle and terry to Turkish cotton, we sourced 10 editor-approved options that will keep you dry stylishly. A Few Things to Keep in MindMaterial: When it comes to fabric, not all construction is created equal. The plushest towels are the 100 percent cotton varieties, though some rayon blends tend to absorb a touch more water than cotton. "Material is the first thing to look for," says Sara Simon, president of Handsome Salt Interior Design in Los Angeles. "Anything that is touching my body needs to be soft and plush." Keep in mind that Pima and Egyptian cottons are considered premium, so they will likely cost a bit more. Look at the label for a term like ring-spun cotton, which means the fibers have been tightly twisted so the towel loops are smoother and finer (terry cloth, for example, has larger loops and is woven with extra yarn). Combed cotton is another type with which to familiarize yourself. This means that the cotton has been combed through to remove shorter threads, so just the longest and strongest remain-and pilling is kept to a minimum.Weight: Bath towel weight is measured in grams per square meter (GSM) and varies between 300 and 900 GSM. The higher the weight, the thicker and more absorbent the towel. A 300 to 400 GSM towel is considered lightweight (think: for the gym or kitchen), 400 to 600 GSM is medium weight (good for the beach or bath), and 600 to 900 GSM is the thickest density (this will feel the most luxe but may require the most drying time). "Towel weight is a personal preference," says Simon. "Personally I do not like thick towels that feel like a blanket, and on the opposite end, I do not like towels that are thin like a paper towel. You really need to find a happy medium."Size: Towels come in several different sizes, so it's a good idea to wrap them around yourself to see how much ground they cover before buying. If you are tall, for example, you might want a larger towel. "As a 5-foot-9 girl, I have to have a towel that I can wrap around me and cover my booty," says Simon. "I cannot stand tiny towels, but I will say I am not into bath sheets either-too much fabric." Similarly, Kate Towill, founding partner and head of design at Basic Projects in Charleston, South Carolina, agrees that bigger is not always better. "I prefer a standard bath towel size, which is easier on the dryer and fits on the bathroom shelf when folded," she says. The standard size for a bath towel is 27-by-52 inches, while a bath sheet offers more coverage at a slightly larger 35-by-60.Crafted from Oeko-Tex terry and 100 percent organic cotton, and delivering a snug, medium-weight 600 GSM, these towels tick all of our boxes. "Tekla's bath towels are my holy grail bath towels," says commerce deputy editor Samantha Weiss-Hills. "Their weight and size feel just right, and I love the available colorways (hello, Tender Yellow and Racing Green). I've had a set in Lunar Rock for almost two years-they are plush without feeling heavy and very absorbent.They've held up nicely (no fraying) to regular wear and cleaning in our rudimentary washer and dryer." Made from Portuguese organic cotton, these double-looped terry cloth towels are not only soft and absorbent, they are designed with the planet in mind. Constructed from recycled yarns and eco-dyed fabric, they are produced in small batches to avoid overproduction. "I appreciate investing in products that are made consciously and support local mills versus being mass manufactured-plus Baina is a female-owned business," says Erin Cunningham, deputy editor, creative studio. "The check pattern, in particular, is the right mix of trendy and timeless-it's something that feels of the moment, but not a palette or pattern that will easily tire." They would make even the most neutral of bathrooms more design driven without having to change a thing. With bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths (times two), this six-piece set has everything you need for bathing and beyond in one affordable package-and they do not skimp on quality. Made from 100 percent Turkish cotton, the 605 to 615 GSM means a superplush feel and quick absorbency. Sixteen color options offer a style for every mood.In Japanese, puchi puchi means "bubble wrap," which is the best way to describe Morihata's towels' playful raised-dot pattern. And if you subscribe to the M.O. that less is more, you will adore the lightweight luxuriousness of these as much as Domino general manager Tracy Cho does. The fast-drying fabric means you can use them multiple days in a row and they will completely dry in between showers. And thanks to the anything-but-hefty feel, they are ideal for wrapping up your just-washed hair (so you wo not feel like your head is about to topple from the weight). Exactly as the name says, prepare for a superplush experience-i.e., these are the towels you will want to luxuriate in all day long. "These towels live up to the hype," says commerce content director Sophie Miura. "I've owned a cream set for two years and they are still ridiculously soft and spongy." They are woven with a Z-twist, which is stronger and tighter than the typical S-twist, so you can count on less pulling and pilling, plus they are constructed from Turkish cotton and strong single-ply yarn, so you will feel like you left your home for a high-end spa. Fun hues like seafoam and lavender lend a punch to any bathroom.Miura's word to the wise: Opt for a lighter weave (like the Classic or Ultralight designs) if your space does not have much ventilation, since they can take a long time to dry. Nothing says "spa-chic" quite like a waffle-textured towel. And this iteration proves you do not have to shop the most expensive stores to find some that are both stylish and substantive (thanks, Target!). Our editors love the soft, lightweight feel and modern color palette that goes from muted pink and pale gray to dark charcoal. For $12 a towel, you can collect them all. You've got 99 things to do and one of them should not be sitting around waiting for your towels to air-dry. Crafted from 100 percent cotton, this lightweight yet still fluffy towel dries lightning fast, so moisture does not hang around for mildew to set in.A two-pack is available in eight colors, from classic white to petal pink-you really can not go wrong. Certified by the Parachute's towels weigh in at 700 GSM, and our editors found that they strike just the right amount of plushness-not too thin yet not too dense. Loomed from sturdy, long-staple Turkish cotton, the construction is meant to be durable. Even through wash after wash, associate editor Lydia Geisel has seen no random strings or shedding situations. The six colorways include a modern, minimalist pale blue-gray and a dark charcoal. "There's literally nothing worse than a gym-style towel that does not wrap around your entire body," says deputy editor Julie Vadnal. She loves the weight and size of Coyuchi's Mediterranean beach towels, which clock in at 39-by-71 inches, even bigger than a standard bath sheet. "These are massive and the kind of towel you want to nap in after a shower," raves Vadnal. Made from Turkish flat-weave organic cotton, they are as light as they are absorbent. "I was gifted a set nearly seven years ago," she adds. "A couple of tassels have come loose, but they've lasted way longer than anything I would buy (and then have to replace)." How often should I replace my towels? "There's literally nothing worse than a gym-style towel that does not wrap around your entire body," says deputy editor Julie Vadnal.

"I was gifted a set nearly seven years ago," she adds. "A couple of tassels have come loose, but they've lasted way longer than anything I would buy (and then have to replace)." Good towels can last a very long time, especially if you take good care of them.However, the fewer you have and the more you use them, the quicker you may need to replace them. If you notice that the threads are starting to pull; they are not drying you as effectively; or, in spite of a wash, there's a lingering odor, then it's time to replace them. Depending on the quality, bath towels can last five years or longer. What is the best way to keep white towels, well, white? First and foremost, as tempting as it may be to throw every dirty item in the wash together to save time, Simon advises to always separate your whites since colors can bleed. "Bleach is the white towel saving grace," she says. To keep your white towels bright, use a detergent that has a built-in bleach or a gentle oxidizer in powder form.And to get rid of residue buildup on towels that detergent can leave behind, add a cup of white vinegar to your wash along with detergent to clear the way.

So as a first step pull the blind cord to put the venetian blind into the closed position (all slats compacted directly under the headrail). Then unclip the mounting bracket of the venetian blind, both on the right and left side. The full blind should then slot out of the brackets and you will be able to remove it from the window. You will then want to submerge the blind into a bathtub containing lukewarm water.

When it comes to bath towels, there are lots of different options available to you, depending on your tastes in a number of areas. Looking for something durable? Or what about something soft to the touch, to give you that hotel room feel? Regardless of what you look for in a towel and how much you are willing to spend, here is a breakdown of the various common bath towel fabrics you have to choose from.First of all, you should decide on the limitations of your budget. There are some great options available to those with a few less dollars to work with, as well as luxury bath towels on offer for anyone willing to spend a pretty penny and invest that little bit more. Either way, the decision is yours, so let's get into the most common bath towel fabrics.Towels made from Egyptian cotton are softer and more absorbent. The material is hand picked, leaving the fibres unbroken and straight. This in turn can make it easier to elongate the individual fibres, making for finer yarns with not only more length, but stronger and altogether softer cotton. Regular cotton tends to have more splices. Egyptian cotton was a popular trend, and while equally exciting types of cotton towel have emerged since the height of its popularity, it is still a great choice for anyone looking to invest in quality.Turkish cotton is priced at a premium, but if you are happy to splurge a little in the name of a spruced up bathroom space, this strain of cotton might just be for you. With its extra long fibers and fewer joins, this results in stronger, smoother cotton threads. If you are after a durable towel, this is it. The long fiber cotton is grown in Turkey's small yet productive Aegean Region. With successive washes, Turkish cotton will become increasingly more soft, fluffy and absorbent.Made for the ethical minded is organic cotton. Grown using methods and materials that have a minimal impact on the environment, if you are looking to walk the walk and practice the environmental values you preach, you should seek to exercise environmental friendliness in as many areas of your life as possible.Microfiber is so incredibly fine; it is a synthetic fiber finer than one denier, decitex or thread. It has a diameter of under 10 micrometres. There are a few different types of microfibers which are made up of polyester materials; this includes polyamides such as nylon, Kevlar, Nomex and trogamide, and well as polyester, polyamide and polypropylene.Hopefully this guide has helped you understand the options from which you can choose, when deciding on a towel. There are many options out there, and through sampling at stores and thinking about which you need, you can find the right material for you.How can I get my bath towels to smell good?Pour some vinegar in the rinse cycle and dry outdoors if possible.Make sure they are completely dry or they will sour.Use half the soap,I always doWhat color bath towels are the most practical?a soft blue or aqua greenWhat do you do for your dogs in the summer heat?I have a large, black great dane that I show. Since many shows are outside, we've come up with some good ideas... Every so often, mist her with cold ice water from a spray bottle. Get a microfiber towel (bath towel for large dogs, hand towel for medium, or washcloth for small), soak it in ice water, and drape it over her. Change or remove it every once in awhile to ice it again. Keep ice cubes in her water. Insure that she has a cool space to lay in the shade or in the dark (ie: closet, bedroom floor) Do not leave her outside for very long. Many dogs will actually eat an ice cube. Wet it a bit first though! Good luck!How do I get rid of mold smells on bath towels?Have you tried bleach?

Mist the baby plants with a fine mist spray bottle every couple of days as long as the heating pad is on and as needed,after the plants get there second set of leaves you can remove the plastic lid but keep the grow lite on.plants need at least 9 hrs of lite a day,a good north,south,east lite (inside)is good.ENJOY!

The first time (or maybe every time) you've purchased towels, perhaps you based your selection on 1) what is cheapest and 2) is it a towel. But as it turns out, if you are in a position where you have some flexibility in your towel budget (keeping in mind that they are an investment), you may be interested in learning more about the different types of towels out there.Here's how to pick one that's best suited for your unique bathing needs, courtesy of Jackie Revere of Wirecutter in an article for the New York Times.Figure out what you want from a towelAccording to Revere, "a good bath towel should do several things at once-dry you off quickly, feel good (if not fantastic) on your skin, fit with your dcor, and be durable enough to last for years." So essentially, the same qualities you are looking for in a potential partner.Terry cloth or waffle/lattice? That is the question. What you think of when you think of a classic soft, fluffy towelThere is no standard size for a bath towel, but Revere says that a 28-by-55-inch towel should work for those of average height. And while towels may seem like something that should be one-size-fits all, they are not. Technically, if you are only using the towel to dry yourself off inside your bathroom, size does not really matter that much.But if you want to do the thing people do on TV and in movies where they wrap a towel under their armpits and wear it like a strapless shift dress while dancing around their living room, those who are particularly bosomy or on the broader side may want to opt for a larger towel. Or, more accurately, a bath sheet-which is just a longer and wider version of a bath towel, Revere says.If your bathroom has a certain style or color scheme, then you may want to consider buying towels that match your dcor. But that's not our focus today, so we will move on.Sure, a towel might feel nice and soft when you touch it in the store (if that's still a thing people do) or when you first open the package when it comes in the mail, but Revere says that it takes a few washes before the towel reveals its true qualities.So instead of buying a whole set of towels and finding out after washing them (at a point when it's unlikely that you will be able to return them) that they are not up to your softness standards, buy one towel of the brand/style you are considering and test it . Here's how Revere says to do that:Then, once you've landed on a towel that works for you, Revere suggests buying at least three bath towels for every person in your household. "You should change your towel every two to three days," she writes, "so if you do your laundry once a week, that should give you enough to see you through between laundry days."Why do bath towels stink if you don't dry it in time?Mildew starts to growHow do I stop my bath towels from smelling of mildew?Add a cup of ammonia to your wash water. It absolutely eliminates mildew smell from fabricsDo you wash your dish towels and bath towels together or separately?We wash them together, but never with clothes. We use bleach when we wash out towelsNew black bath towels are linty?1 just give it some time... when there in the store, their fluff so they will sell. i think that it will go away in about a few days. i had the same problem 2 put them in the washer and hang them up to dry... the dryer loosens the fabric which allows lint to fall off.Can I wash my white socks with my bath towels?I personally would not . If you have enough white clothes to last 2 weeks than wait extra week. It is a personal Hygiene things with me. Plus if you use bleach with whites you could fade green stripes on white towels I would use colored bleach with those towels
