Why do we was bath towels? Aren't we clean when we use them?

Not many people know this aside from the dead skin cells which really aren't that bad.......';you sleep in dead skin cells every night.'; The worst part of wet towels is the bacteria they harbor from natural bacteria on your body. On towels the bacteria rubbed back on your body can set up some nasty skin infections. Most recommend that towels be washed in hot water after two uses and never share towels. I used to think that they were clean too as long as they didn't smell but the bacteria is still there.Why do we was bath towels? Aren't we clean when we use them?
You've gotta be kidding!Why do we was bath towels? Aren't we clean when we use them?
Use them to dry yourself, do you mean flannel or a bath towel for drying after you've been in the shower? Either way fannel for scrubbing off dead skin cells.
well, bath towels, like most things are made up of fabric. When you wash off with a towel, you are washing dead skin cells off your body that were loosened by the shower. It is reccomended that you never reuse a towel before it is cleaned. In fact, I only buy white towels and wash rags so that I can clean them in bleach that kills 99.9% of germs. every time you reuse a towel, you are reapplying dead skin cells to your body.
the water in the towels become mildew and start to stink
Yes,but skin cells get on them,also they grow bacteria from the water on them after we shower
No. You麓re never really clean.
they arnt, when you wipe with them dead skin cells come off your body and attach to the towel. thus they are no longer clean... apart from that dust also collects on them as well as ambient smells.
besides the obvious skins cells that are always coming off of your body, I don't feel comfortable, clean or not, wiping my *** and then rubbing my face with it!!!
aarrrrhhh lets all be honest here would you dry your face with a towel that somebody had just dried his bum with........?
We are clean but rub off dead skin cells onto the towel which decays and this is why we wash towels
to absorb and dry the water off.. There is no way I can get into a pair of blue jeans if I jump out of the shower and trying to get out the door fast... They will all gum up and stick around my legs.. You just have to dry off first.. and nothings better than a huge fluffy cotton bath towel (and in winter, if its just from the dryer, thats a bonus)
lol. .... yes, youre clean, but you also are rubbing off skin cells....*sigh*
dead skin cells etc are rubbed off onto towls even after having a bath. they also become dusty and dirty anyway. its hygeine!!!
Only to wipe out the water to maintain our body temperature.
