If bathing with soap and water makes us clean, have you ever wondered what makes our towels dirty?
The majority of towels are composed entirely of cotton. While it's true that a shower removes the majority of germs and dirt from your skin, wiping a towel against your body removes dead skin that adheres to the moist towel. Towels provide an ideal breeding ground for the mildew that thrives in humid bathrooms.
When showering, most people open the windows, but when they dry themselves, they close the windows. Following a shower, it is considerably more vital to increase circulation. The bathroom becomes a terrarium if the moisture is not dispersed. The same mildew that destroys shower curtains also attacks towels, especially if they have not been dried completely.
In summary, leaving your bathroom windows open increases circulation and reduces the chances of mildew thriving on curtains and towels.
