As in, they should be washed after EVERY THREE USES."A damp towel is growing [microbes]," explained Philip Tierno, a microbiologist at the New York University School of Medicine, toAnd, said Tierno, if it's growing microbes, you can usually tell by the towel's smell.Don't act like you've never used a smelly towel before. I SEE YOU.
So what's the big deal about using a smelly, microbe-rich towel? Welp, for one, the towel is basically getting you dirtier, not cleaner.
