Let’s talk about how often you should wash your bath towels.
You can extend the life of your towels by avoiding unnecessary washing. We recommend washing bath towels every 3-4 uses. Be sure to hang your towels to dry immediately after use, as proper air circulation promotes drying and reduces the risk of mold and bacteria.
There are a few more things to keep in mind.
Remove excess moisture from the air in the area where you hang your towels by leaving the door open, using an extractor fan, or opening a window. If you are sick, wash your towels after each use to prevent the spread of germs. If you leave wet towels stacked on the floor for a long time, wash them. Lack of airflow promotes bacterial growth.
Tip: Give your towels a thorough cleaning to bring them back to life. Our laundry stripping solution is perfect for everyday towels. You’ll be surprised at how dirty your towels will be.
