Clean Towels for Good Health

The towels are a constant part of everyone's bathroom. Some people use them for drying themselves, others use them only for decoration. Some people change their towel every week, others can't really remember the last time they washed it. No matter which type of person you are, there are several facts about towels, that you should get familiar with. 

Usually people try to match the towels with the bathroom's tiles or decoration. But it is recommended to choose a towel, which has been dyed with colouring agent, that doesn't cause allergic reactions of the skin. The best choice are white or beige towels, because these are the natural colours of cotton and the chances of having reactions is smaller. If these colours are too boring for you, then buy towels in light or pastel hues, which have been extracted from natural colouring agents. 

The cleanliness of the towels is a very important topic. You should know that one small towel can have a big impact on your health. Towels often stay wet due to the high humidity level in the bathroom and this environment is perfect for the germination of mould and fungi in the fabrics. Therefore, the London upholstery cleaning team recommends washing the towels once a week, especially if you share it with somebody else. 

There are three different types of technology for making a towel of good quality: 

• The Microban technology protects the fabrics from being covered with fungi and mould, even though they stay in the humid bathroom all the time. 
• Combining cotton with bamboo is another technology, which takes the best qualities of the bamboo (softness, shiny look and natural antibacterial protection) and implements it within the cotton fabric. 
• In the hydro cotton technology the ends of the cotton fibres are combed, so that the towel will become more absorbent and softer. 

We advice you to choose towels, made with one of these technologies in order to avoid health problems and to enjoy the soft touch without fear from bacteria.
