Kitchen cloths are an essential accessory in any home, because they not only help us maintain cleanliness, but they are also practical for drying surfaces and keeping our hands clean while we cook. However, because of how versatile they are, they can accumulate germs that could cause us some illness.
By handling dirty kitchen rags, we can transfer germs to our hands, and by putting them in our mouths or touching other surfaces we could contract a stomach virus caused by those germs. By washing them frequently, we protect our personal hygiene and reduce the risk of diseases transmitted by contact.
On the other hand, damp and dirty cloths can generate bad odors in the kitchen. By washing them periodically, we eliminate residue and prevent them from becoming sources of bad odor. This is especially important if we want to keep a kitchen fresh and pleasant.
There is no set rule, but in general, it would be best to wash your kitchen towels at least once a week. If you use the cloths very frequently, such as when preparing large meals for several guests, wash them daily or every 2 days at most. How often you use them will determine how long they stay clean.
In addition, clean cloths last longer and by washing them regularly we prevent them from becoming worn, torn or filled with stubborn stains. Thus, our cloths will remain effective and functional for longer.
