Brilio.net - Towels are one of the essential items in the home that often escapes attention and daily care. Although its function is very vital to maintain the cleanliness and comfort of its users, towels that are used continuously without proper care can become dirty and rough. This condition can certainly reduce comfort when used and even potentially cause skin health problems.
Repeated use of towels without proper washing can lead to a buildup of dirt, body oils, and dead skin cells. This buildup not only makes the towel look dirty, but it also becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi. Damp towels after use are an ideal environment for microorganisms to thrive, so it is important to wash your towels regularly and properly.
In addition to hygiene issues, towels that are not properly cared for can also become rough and uncomfortable to use. Worn out towel fibers that lose their original softness are often caused by the use of inappropriate detergents, washing with water that is too hot, or excessive drying . To maintain the softness of towels, it is important to pay attention to the correct washing and drying methods, as well as using appropriate care products.
