How to choose a towel

1. First of all, the main component of towels, cotton fiber, is a tubular structure with hollow cells that can store moisture, and moisture is the most important condition for bacterial survival.

2. Secondly, towels are often placed in warm and humid bathrooms, with poor ventilation and air permeability and lack of direct sunlight, which is suitable for bacterial growth. Some people like to wet the towel before using it, which also provides a breeding ground for bacteria.

3. Again, the grease, dust, dandruff, mites, sweat and other dirt on the human skin will accumulate on the towel. If it is not cleaned and replaced regularly, or even used "indefinitely", it will cause bacteria to multiply exponentially.

4. Finally, when family members share a towel, or use the same towel for washing face or bathing, it is easy to cause cross infection.

Especially for people with low immunity, the elderly and children, towels are even one of the most dangerous infection transmission media.
