Washcloths?

Question

I use a washcloth everytime I shower, is it unsanitary or unsafe to leave the damp washcloth on the little bar in the shower for a day or 2? I change it with a clean washcloth about 3-4 times a week...should I use a clean one each time?

Answer 1

I always reuse it once. It's clean... i just used it with soap, and then rerinsed it, so all it has to do is dry.

Answer 2

I would definetly change it everytime you wash or have a spare because there may be left over soap which could also have dirt in it you wouldn't have to put it in the washer right away if you had a spare or a couple spares you never know what's on the washcloth after you shower

Answer 3

I use a clean wash cloth each time I shower or bathe;
I hang the used on on the towel rack to dry and then throw it in the laundry chute to wash .
I figure the old one has to be dirty, after all I used it all over my body to clean off dirt, sweat, etc. and the water in the shower isn*t hot enough to clean it well like the washing machine.

Answer 4

Just make sure you rinse it out good and hang it up to dry. I usually reuse a washcloth at least once.

Answer 5

You should always use a clean washcloth. That's one way to prevent the spread of staph or other germs. Good luck. 2D

Answer 6

Don't see why? Just make sure you rinse it well and hang so it dries so not to get musty.
