Here’s When You Should Replace Your Towels
Towels are one of the essential items used daily. Although they may seem simple, towels are more than just an everyday item as they play an important role in maintaining hygiene and health
The care and lifespan of towels need to be considered, as improper use can lead to bacterial growth and unpleasant odors, which may affect hygiene and the towel's overall comfort.
It’s often the case that towels which appear to be in reasonable condition make you feel like you're not in a rush to buy or replace them. Therfore it's important to know how long a towel is worth using and the signs that you should replace it with a new one.
Typically, towels should be replaced every 1 to 2 years. However, this also depends on the quality of the material used and the frequency of use. Frequently used towels that have been washed repeatedly will wear out more quickly and may lose functionality over time.
When a towel has lost its absorbency and feels rough on the skin, it is an indication that a new towel is required. Even if the towel still appears intact, the color will often appear faded and the yarn fibers may not be in optimal condition.
In addition, towels that are often exposed to moisture and not dried properly will be prone to building up bacteria and growing mold, causing an unpleasant odor even though they have been washed.
In order for towels to have a longer lifespan and not wear out as quickly, they need to be maintained properly.
Before putting the towels in the washing machine, it’s recommended that they be soaked in hot water with a little touch of baking soda. This will help clean the towel fibers more effectively.
It's especially important that towels should be washed separately from other clothing items and the washing machine should not be overloaded to prevent the towels from becoming unsatisfactorily clean. Once washed, towels should be thoroughly dried and stored in an environment with low humidity.
Knowing when to replace your towels is key to maintaining hygiene and comfort. If your towels feel rough, lose absorbency, or develop a persistent odor, it’s time for an upgrade. Refreshing your towel collection ensures a more luxurious and enjoyable experience every day.
