I have a question about dirty towels!?

Question

isnt it true if you use a dirty towel or like use a towel for a whole week with out cleaning it you can get some kind of health problem from it?!?!

I need answers!

Answer 1

I would imagine, that just sickens me, I use a clean towel for every shower! I know some families who use the same towel amongst 7 people its just so gross!!! There towels stink, I cant even get the smell off when I wash them!!!

Answer 2

There's the possibility of mold growing on the towel, and that's just gross.

I know that yeast infections can spread from one person to another through shared towels. You're better off using a towel only once or twice and then getting a new one, rather than let it go all week.

Answer 3

You can't get any health problems! The only thing that might be problematic is that if the towel does not dry properly and generates a peculiar smell, it can rub off on you while you dry off; making the shower useless!

If you washed yourself properly you are clean; so, basically you are only removing water from your skin, not dirt.

Answer 4

A week is a little long to use the same towel. Maybe two day.

Answer 5

If your towel is hanging up and has proper ventilation then you should be able to use it for 4-5 days. Or you need to change it when it smells moldy.

Answer 6
