What to do if the face towel has a peculiar smell

Many people in our daily lives have the habit of washing their faces with towels, but towels that have not been cleaned for a long time will have an odor. Of course, we are not rich, so it is impossible for us to throw away towels just because they have an odor. Instead, we try to disinfect them so that we can continue to use them. For example, high temperature disinfection can be used, and adding salt, baking soda, vinegar, etc. to the disinfected water can remove the odor. Of course, in addition to disinfection, timely cleaning is also required.

How to deal with odorous towels

1. Soak in lemon water for a day and then wash it off.

2. Use the face towel separately. It is recommended that the face towel should not be used to wipe sweat or the body. It should only be used to wipe the face after washing the face, because when the towel is used to wipe the body, the body secretions, bacteria, dirt, and grease are easily attached to the towel.

If the towels are not disinfected and cleaned regularly, they will become sticky or dry and hard. Therefore, it is best to wash the towels thoroughly every week to prevent the bacteria on the towels from harming the skin.

3. Heat a basin of water, add 5 teaspoons of salt, put in the towel, boil for 10 minutes, take it out, and wash off the salt with clean water (this method is simple and the towels will be more durable after washing). If the towel is still sticky, add another teaspoon of baking soda.

4. High temperature disinfection is most effective. When washing towels, you can first boil the towels in boiling water for 10 minutes, then wash them with detergent, and then put them in a ventilated place to dry. If you find boiling water a bit troublesome, you can also microwave the towel in the microwave for 5 minutes after washing it, which can also achieve the effect of high-temperature disinfection.

5. Use vinegar and baking soda to remove odors. In addition, you can also use vinegar or baking soda to remove odors. Follow the general laundry procedure, add two spoons of white vinegar to the washing machine, and you can also add an appropriate amount of hot water. At this time, do not add detergent, softener or anything else, just start the washing machine to wash.
