9 Items You're Overwashing and 9 You're Completely Ignoring

3. Towels vs. bath mats

Towels vs. Bath Mats: Appropriate Maintenance and Washing For proper hygiene, towels should be replaced after every three to four applications. Switching between two towels permits one to dry thoroughly between uses, so you only need to launder them approximately every fourteen days. Not maintaining this schedule can create stale odors and make white towels appear gray eventually.

Bath mats require even more regular washing. Their moisture, along with the heat and darkness of bathrooms, forms perfect environments for mold and bacteria. Bath mats should be cleaned at least weekly to eliminate dirt and maintain bathroom sanitation.
