Why do we wash bath towels if we use them after we are clean?

Because they get wet, providing a nice place for fungi and bacteria spores to land and grow. After about a week or two they grow enough to start producing fairly pungent odors.





Also when you dry off with a towel dead skin cells are transfered from your body to the towel providing food for those fungi and bacteria.Why do we wash bath towels if we use them after we are clean?
Because although you are so called clean by using the towel you wipe off thousands of skin cells onto it which after a short time take on a life of their own so to speak lol...Why do we wash bath towels if we use them after we are clean?
because even though we are clean..our bodies do shed skin cells which cause the towels to be dirty...plus whatever bacteria comes from having a damp towel around.
We wash them because they collect body soil and who knows what else. Think about it, you dont wash a towel for say about a month. Do you know how much bacteria and dirt collect on that towel, and Im pretty sure you dry your face with it. Do you want feet and butt bacteria on your face after you think you are clean, I think not.
Because... clean is relative.





Just because someone is 'clean', doesn't mean I want to rub my face on all of their '2000 parts'.
They still a little moldy when they dry after you hang them up. I know my towels need a wash at least weekly if they're not all gukky from something my daughter gets into or my husband after he's worked on the Jeep.
not we are not clean.. and a damp towel in a humid bathroom it a breading ground for all kinds of yuckies
Because when you wipe yourself dry, you are defoliating a lot of skin cells onto the towel. Bugs love dead skin cells!!
That is a good question. I guess it is to keep them clean because after they get wet, they would get smelly and gross since we wipe our bodies with them.
Exactly why do people steal those toot picks from restaraunts? They are perfectly good and I put them right back.
Because...They get wet and when wet towels sit around they get moldy and then they stink.





I can see your rationale though. You still sluff off dead skin and stuff when you dry off though.
backtira issues and funguss as well





becuase water stay in them
Dead skin build up on towels is an excellent media for bacterial growth.
when you druy off dead skin cells come off you your bady no matter how hard you scrub in the bath the dead skin then rots and it attracts bugs and begins to smell
Even though you are clean, the rubbing/patting of your skin by the towel would cause the towel to collect dead skin cells. Washing the towel, cleans off the dead skin cells.
because if you use them to dry off and then hang them up (or crumple them in a corner like my fiance does) they start to smell. If you wash them and dry them either in a dryer or by hanging them up outside then they get to be fresh and clean (and not ridden with bacteria)
thats a funny question because they make contact with your inner body
For the same reason that you don't eat food off the floor even after you just mopped it. You can't see the ';real'; dirt.
Clean is good.. when towels are dirty u might on a accident....(not even knowing it) Might pick up a dirty towel and wipe ur face and that certain person wiped off his/her body with it.. =P
eeew. my friend doesnt wash his.. my when i use my towel - i get right in my but-crack! right on my.. well you know.. and hey.. what if you accidentally use that bit next time on your face?
It's called......HIGHEEN!
