What should I do if the towel turns black? What is the reason for the black spot on the towel?

We all know that towels are a common daily necessity, and almost everyone uses towels to wash and gargle. After using towels for a long time, they will easily become dirty and black, which is also quite common. So why do towels become black after being used for a long time? Let's take a closer look!

Why do towels turn black after being used for a long time?

The towels in the bathroom will not turn black because they are dirty, but because of the growth of bacteria. The blackening of towels may be caused by human factors, such as not washing them in time after they are stained and blackened. When towels turn black, it is more difficult to wash them. In addition, due to weather reasons, towels are not exposed to sunlight for a long time, which causes bacteria on the towels to grow and mildew spots to appear, making the towels turn black.

Because of the humid environment, the towel cannot dry, which makes the towel easy to mold and harden. In addition, the towel will be stained with chemicals and grease used in face washing, which cannot be cleaned, so the towel will become black and hard.

What to do if the towel turns black

After the towel turns black, you can use the following methods:

1. Salt water

Salt water is very effective in removing odor from towels. Put an appropriate amount of salt in the water, then soak and rub the towel in the water, rinse it thoroughly with clean water, and then dry it. If the towel is seriously yellow or black, you can put it in boiling water and boil it for 5-10 minutes, which is also effective.

2. Bleach

Bleach is a commonly used towel cleaning product. Putting an appropriate amount of bleach into water and then washing the towel thoroughly can restore the towel to a soft and comfortable state, increase whiteness, and remove yellow and black mildew. However, we should note that bleach is also an alkaline chemical substance. It must be used appropriately and with clean water. It cannot be used for a long time.

How to clean towels

Towels can easily turn yellow and black after being used for a long time. At this time, we can actually put the towel in a basin, then pour some edible alkali into the basin, and then pour in detergent. You don’t need too much detergent, just two or three drops will be enough, and then pour in some toilet water. In fact, only these three things are needed to help us wash the towel thoroughly.

Because edible alkali can kill bacteria and remove dirt very well, detergent is used to assist cleaning, the alcohol contained in toilet water can kill bacteria, and the fragrance of the toilet water itself can also repel mosquitoes and insects very well. Next, we pour hot water into the basin, let the hot water submerge the towel, and soak it for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, you can actually see that the water in which the towel is soaked has begun to become turbid. At this time, you only need to rub it gently to clean the towel. Generally speaking, it is recommended that towels must be replaced frequently. New towels should be replaced at most every three months. We should also clean the towels at home once a week!
