However, because of its use, the towel has the potential to become damp. If you don't immediately hang it in the sun until it's dry, this moisture can linger and make the towels smell. Not without reason, damp towels allow bacteria to breed and give off an unpleasant odor.
To prevent this, washing towels regularly is very necessary. However, even though it has been washed regularly, it is not uncommon for there to be stubborn stains. This often happens to old towels where the intensity of use is high.
Unfortunately, these stubborn stains then make the towels look dirty and worn. If this is the case, detergent alone is not enough to return the towels to their original brightness and cleanliness. As a result, many people soak them in bleach so that the stubborn stains can be removed.

How to save dish soap.
Dish washing soap has become an important part of making activities in the kitchen smoother. To save more, there are several ways to make dish soap last longer:
1. Use sparingly.
Use only a small amount of soap each time you wash dishes. Use more water to help wash, rather than just relying on soap.
2. Use warm water.
Use warm water to wash dishes. This can help the soap more effectively clean grease and dirt, so you don't need to use too much soap.
3. Use the right equipment.
Use a sponge or dish brush suitable for dish soap. This helps the soap spread well and efficiently.
4. Clean non-greasy dishes first.
If you have non-greasy dishes such as glasses or plates that are only used for dry food, clean them with just water without using soap.
5. Rinse dishes thoroughly.
Make sure you rinse the dishes thoroughly after washing. Soap residue left on dishes can cause you to need to wash them again.
6. Store soap properly.
Store dish soap in a dry place protected from moisture. This can help the soap last longer.
7. Use a dosing bottle.
If possible, use a dosing bottle to spray the soap directly onto the sponge or brush. This helps avoid waste.
8. Wash large amounts of dishes.
If you're washing a large amount of dishes, using soap is more efficient than washing individual dishes throughout the day.
9. Consider concentrated soap.
Consider using concentrated dish soap that can be diluted with water. This can help reduce the amount of soap used.
