How Do Towels Get Mildew and Bacteria??

　　While the thought of bacteria may produce a negative image, humans need some healthy bacteria to live and grow. For example, the bacteria found in yogurt, cheese and buttermilk improve gut health and body processes. You can find probiotics, also called healthy bacteria, in many foods or supplements that improve your overall health.?

　　However, business owners who regularly use towels in their restaurants, salons or gyms understand that washing these fabrics regularly is important to remove the more unhelpful bacteria.

　　Bacteria left on wet towels may produce adverse effects. One study found that almost 90% of tested towels showed traces of coliform, while around 25% were home to E. coli. The bacteria were present in kitchen towels, which were washed infrequently and left out after usage.?

　　Harmful bacteria on towels should be dealt with immediately. Otherwise, they may develop mildew and mold.
