How many days should you change your bath towel?

Experts recommend replacing your towel every 3 days if you use it every day. A towel that stays damp for too long becomes a hotbed of bacteria and mold.

Recommended frequencies depending on the application:
Bath towel: every 3 days
Bath towel: every 1-2 days
Sports or pool towel: after each use
Guest towels: after each visit
Tip: To prolong the freshness of the towels, air dry them after each use and do not leave them rolled up in a damp corner.

Best Practices for Always Having Clean Towels

Wash towels at 60°C to effectively get rid of bacteria.
Let them air dry and hang them to avoid moisture build-up.
Never share your towel with other people.
Avoid fabric softeners: they clog the fibres and reduce absorbency.
Conclusion: A small gesture that makes a big difference
Changing your towel every 3 days is a simple but essential reflex to avoid skin problems, infections and bad odours.
