Little towels.
- Towels.
Studies have shown that used towels contain 1000 times more bacteria than recently purchased. An unpleasant musty smell is evidence of their vital activity.
“When we strenuously three-skin with a towel, we scratch it. These tiny tears on the skin are so small that the naked eye can’t notice them, and they are the ones that let microbes into your body, says Chuck Gerba, a professor of microbiology at the University of Arizona.
How often should you wash? Towels? Hygiene specialists recommend doing this after 3-4 uses. And of course, long before the smell comes.
The skin on our face is the most sensitive and vulnerable, so the towel should be changed more often than others, ideally every day. However, many people do not even keep a towel for washing.
Alternatively, you can buy many inexpensive small towels for the face and use them once, and then send to the wash at 95 degrees. - Pillow
Whatever filler your favorite pillow is made of, it still accumulates dust that attracts mites and bedbugs.
Despite the fact that the house dust mite is not able to bite people or spread infections, it poses a danger to human health. The excrement of dust mites is very toxic, they can cause severe allergies (especially in people prone to respiratory diseases).
Ticks die at temperatures above 60 degrees, so wash your bedding at a higher temperature. In summer, dry the bed on the balcony. Use pillows for no more than five years. - A shaving blade
On modern blades for shaving there are special strips-indicators that change color when it is time to change them. But our men are not led to marketing tricks and can use one blade for six months - until it begins to rust.
Beauticians say that for people with thick and stiff facial vegetation, this is fraught with the development of sycosis - a skin disease in which an infection that enters the body during wet shaving leads to the formation of pustules.
In this case, you should change the blades more often, use the lotion immediately before shaving or switch to using an electric razor. - Toothbrush
On the bristles of the old toothbrush, bacteria not only accumulate, but also actively multiply, which means that it can cause inflammation.
Experts advise using a toothbrush for no more than three months. If you prefer brushes with natural villi, keep in mind that these require more thorough cleaning and you need to change them even more often.
Careful housewives will be interested to know that old toothbrushes can make many different useful devices. I'm sure you won't throw them away again. - Eyelash mascara
For the safety of our eyes, mascara should be changed every 3 months, regardless of the shelf life on the package. Women in our country often use mascara until it dries, this is fraught with the reproduction of dangerous microorganisms.
- Washcloth
During bathing, the washcloth removes dead skin particles from the surface of the body. With prolonged use, bacteria begin to multiply on them. Natural or synthetic washcloth should be changed every 4-5 months, and the sponge once a month.
