Choices! What will it be? #17
Hello Ladies
Our choices in life are what keep us either on the winning track or on the losing track. So make a good choice today.
My choice in this contest will be Towel. A towel is a piece of material or cloth used for drying or cleaning. In our various homes, different towels are used. We have the bath towel, we have the hand towel, the kitchen towel. I know we all have these towels at home, but the question is "How neat do you keep these towels?"

Towels are meant to be washed at least after use on a daily basis but if you can't do it daily, it should be weekly at most because they perform various tasks. Towels are very essential in every home and because of the various tasks they perform like; drying, cleaning, and wiping, they should be kept neat at all costs.
Although all towels are not the same in size quality, in shape too. It depends on the purpose for which a particular is needed. A bathing towel is so different from a kitchen towel, right? But we know how important a towel is when we need one.
I have a friend who would always go into bath without a towel at hand and when I asked, she said she doesn't like to use a towel. So people have to like towels before they use them? I advised her on the importance of towels. I know you too would love to know that, alright I will share with you.
Towels play a very crucial role in our daily activities, also towels play a very critical role in maintaining our hygiene.

Towels can cause skin irritation
Yes, dirty towels can cause skin irritation. Dirty towels can accumulate enough bacteria and spread to the body and face, hence causing skin irritation or rashes, or other skin conditions. Additionally, towels made from hard or rough cotton materials can also be abusive to the skin.
Towels are important but not when they are dirty and washing our towels regularly can help prevent skin irritation perhaps, you might want to use a separate towel for your face to avoid facial reactions.
Towels can help prevent infections
When towels are used properly, they can help prevent infections. I remember when I was a little girl, I had a cut on my feet, so my mom would always use a very small towel every morning and night to wash the cut with hot water and after the cut washing, she washes the towel and allow it to dry.
Also, sharing towels can cause infections because you don't know what he or she has on the skin. Everyone is supposed to have their towel even if you are siblings with the person. Children from the same family are meant to have their separate towels to avoid infections.

•Wash your towels regularly, that is daily. But if that is not achievable, it should be washed at least once every week.
•Use hot water and disinfectant in washing your towels because it helps kill bacteria. I usually soak my towel with hot water and disinfectant at night and wash off the next morning. You can also add a little vinegar while rinsing to also help kill bacteria and remove odor.
•Thoroughly dry your towels to avoid a moist or musty smell and damp towels can cause skin irritation or skin infection. After use, allow sunlight to heat the towel for a very long time before taking it in.
•Change of towels is very important since towels are not fixed assets. When towels begin to wear out, it is advisable to change them. When you notice a towel is no longer absorbent, it has to be changed and this change of towel also helps the skin remain healthy.
In summary, towels are helpful to everyone. Imagine being in the kitchen and everywhere is messy without a towel to wipe, no towel to dry your hands, oh! That would be a disaster.
If we can follow all these hygiene tips, we can save our skin from bacteria.
