Of course, no one loves a stinking towel! But, did you know that an apparently clean towel could also harbour truckloads of microbes, including faecal organisms? This is especially true for towels that don’t dry quickly (another reason for you to use Turkish towels) or hang in the bathroom. But wait, there’s no need to panic and look for laundry advice on the internet because it’s unlikely that you will get sick from touching a towel unless you have cuts or abrasions on the skin that could let these disease-causing microbes in the system.
