Când devin prosoapele de baie un pericol pentru sănătate? Cât de des ar trebui schimbate? Se spală la 60 grade • Newsweek România

Bath towels can pose health risks if not changed regularly or washed properly. They can harbor bacteria and fungi, leading to infections. A study found that 89% of towels contained harmful bacteria, including E. coli. To prevent infections, towels should be changed every 3 to 4 days, especially in summer, and washed at 60 degrees Celsius or higher. Sharing towels is discouraged to avoid transmission of infections. Towels should be dried completely after use to prevent germ growth, and occasional disinfection with vinegar or baking soda is recommended. Ideally, towels should be replaced every one to two years due to wear and reduced absorbency.
