How long is the service life of pure cotton towels?

How long is the service life of pure cotton towels? According to experts, personal towels should be replaced every 30 days or so, not more than 40 days at most. Some people may say, isn't this a waste? In fact, this is scientifically justified.

Cotton towels will harden after being used for a long time, and the most important thing is that they will be contaminated with bacteria, which is harmful to people's health. Practice has proved that coins, bedding and towel products are the three indirect transmission media of infectious diseases. However, there are still many people who are influenced by traditional ideas, and there are some unscientific ways to use them, such as one towel for many people, one towel for multiple purposes, no breakage, no change, no attention to hygiene, and neglect of product quality.

We know that hotel towels are made of pure cotton yarn. Cotton fiber is a tubular structure with hollow cells and can store water. Its main chemical component, cellulose, contains a large number of hydrophilic genes and can absorb water. This moisture absorption and storage performance of cotton yarn makes cotton towels feel comfortable and have strong decontamination ability, which is suitable for cleaning and hygiene. But it is precisely because of this characteristic that it provides convenient conditions for the breeding of bacteria. Bacteria like warm and humid environment best. Cotton towels are in a warm and humid state for a long time, and oil, dust, impurities in water and dust in the air will be deposited on cotton towels. Over time, cotton towels have become a paradise for bacteria. Wiping the skin with such a pure cotton towel will not only not clean the skin, but will stain the skin and block the pores. Ladies who like makeup and children with fast metabolism have more oil on their skin, and cotton towels are more susceptible to infection, which is particularly harmful to human skin.
