Methods/steps

2/3 Step by step reading

Improper use of towels is harmful to health and causes cancer.

Towels must be divided according to their uses. Men should have at least three towels, and at least four towels should be used for washing face, washing feet and bathing. On the basis of washing your face, feet and bathing, you should also add a towel to clean your private parts. Many towels are dyed. It is normal that the newly bought towel will fade slightly when it is put into water for the first time. If you continue to fade, there are two possibilities. One is that this towel is a reprocessed product, and the other is that the towel uses inferior dyes. Inferior dyes contain carcinogenic substances such as aromatic amines. When the human body is exposed to towels containing aromatic amines for a long time, aromatic amines are easily absorbed by the skin, causing cancer or allergies. Therefore, washing your face with towels dyed with inferior dyes is just like washing your face with industrial wastewater, which will seriously damage your skin! Harm to health.

Most "antibacterial" towels are not antibacterial.

If the towel fiber itself has antibacterial function, then the towel does have antibacterial effect, but there are few such fibers at present, so most of the so-called "antibacterial" towels on the market are not antibacterial. If you really want to disinfect the towel, you need someone to use it. Sterilize the towel at high temperature every week and put it in the microwave oven for a few minutes. At the same time, it is best to replace a new towel every three months. Towels are a necessity for personal cleaning, but you will find that after a period of use, towels will not only become hard, but also become greasy and sticky, emitting a strange smell.

Some people think that if this is the case, just wash the towel with clean water and wring it out, but they will find that the result of such cleaning will make the towel more and more disgusting.

Why is the towel used every day so disgusting?

Causes of yellow and smelly towels

(1) When we wipe the sweaty and oily skin with a towel and don't clean it regularly, the towel will easily accumulate fat and dirt, and it will feel sticky after a long time, and it will turn yellow or smell when it is dry.

(2) If your bathroom environment is not ventilated and the towel is not completely wrung out after each use, water will accumulate at the bottom of the towel, the lower edge will be moldy, and the towel will naturally smell or even yellow.

Why do towels harden?

(1) If the towel is used for a long time, the hairiness will fall off. When the hairiness of the towel falls off, it will become hard.

(2) The towel is not thoroughly cleaned, and there is dirt left by the skin for a long time in the fiber.

(3) After the towel is washed, the terry is tangled and directly exposed without shaking.

(4) Free calcium and magnesium ions in water combine with soap and stick to the towel, which is also a major reason for towel hardening.

Wash your face towel alone.

It is suggested that the towel for washing face should be independent, and should not be used to wipe sweat or body. You should wash your face before using it. Because when you wipe your body with a towel, secretions, bacteria, dirt and grease on your body are easy to attach to the towel. Whether it is a towel to wipe your face or your body, it is best to clean it once a week.
