Bath Towels
When towels remain damp for 20 minutes or longer, mildew and bacteria, which thrive in moist environments, can begin to breed. So reusing damp bath towels is basically spreading a breeding ground for bugs. Yum.
Solution: Make sure towels air out quickly after each use. If a set of hooks isn’t cutting it, consider spreading them out over a stand-up or wall-mounted rack or toss the whole load in the dryer after everyone has showered.
