A: Replacing hand towels every two days is enough in most cases. You can probably go much longer than two days if the towel can dry out completely and quickly. As long as it dries completely between uses, there is almost no chance of passing bacteria from one person to another. Of course, drying your hands with a towel does you no good if the towel is full of bacteria. If your hand towel is in a tiny bathroom under the stairs with no natural light or ventilation, unpleasant odors can also develop quickly. If it does not get dry between uses, or if they are in a high traffic bathroom, change towels regularly. A couple of warm, damp hours is enough to kick-start bacterial growth. Change the towels daily if you have ill family members to reduce in house transmission. It would be wise to give an ill family member a personal hand towel that no one else uses as well if they are sick or you think they might become sick.
A: Following the instruction manual is always the best place to start for most items, and hand towels are no different. Most materials also have a standard best practice for maintaining them, so even if your towel does not come with instructions, you can use this as a guide. Like all towels, hand towels can grow bacteria, especially true if they do not dry completely. For best results, always ensure you hang your towels where they dry or put them in a dryer. Hanging towels outside in the sun is also effective, and the UV rays even act as a natural sterilizer. Always wash hand towels with detergents and use hot water if you wish to be extra safe. The amount of detergent you use matters. Using too much detergent can cause your towels to become less absorbent. Follow the directions on the package to avoid residue building up, which can affect absorbency. It might even lead to bacteria and mold build-up if it does not wash out thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners where you can because they leave residue build-up. So instead of softening your towels, the residue from the liquid can mat down the cotton fibers and leave you with a less absorbent towel. Fluffing your towels as you move them from the washer to the dryer returns some of the body to the loops and helps them maintain absorbency and softness in the long run.
