Sterilization has a coup! Look at the "bacterial bomb" that wipes out the towel.

Some people don't care much about their personal hygiene. Several people share a towel, but it's not right. The bad habit of using towels makes the towel a health-threatening bacterial bomb. With more than 6 months of towels, there are more than one million bacteria, and the towel becomes a bacterial bomb in our lives. How should we deal with the problem of towel sterilization?

First, how many bacteria on the towel

We may not see the bacteria in the naked eye. Through an experiment, you will feel the horror of this data. The new towel, the towel for 3 months and the towel for 6 months or more were used for bacterial culture. In terms of square centimeters, the new towel colony falls on the order of 100, and the 3-month towel colony falls on the order of 10,000. With the 6-month towel, the petri dish is almost full of colonies, estimated to be in the order of one million. Mainly Gram-positive bacteria, as well as bacteria that may cause disease such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The latter is originally a normal flora of the human intestine, which can cause infection if it invades the wound.

Second, why the towel is easy to "stain the dirt"

1. The main component of the towel is a tubular structure with a hollow cell that stores moisture. Humidity is the most important condition for bacterial survival.

2, towels are often placed in a damp heat bathroom, ventilation, poor ventilation, lack of direct sunlight, such an environment is suitable for bacterial growth.

3, human body skin oil, dust, dander, mites, sweat and other excrement will accumulate on the towel, if not regularly cleaned, it will easily lead to bacterial multiplication, causing cross-infection.

Third, protect the face cleaning, how to identify the towel is the key

1. Look at the appearance: Whether the towel is fine and neat, whether the loop is flat and the color is even.

2, feel the touch: dry hard towels will hurt the skin, high-quality towels feel fluffy, soft and no slippery feeling, grip in the box is soft and flexible, tapping without lint off.

3, smell odor: qualified towel printing and dyeing materials are guaranteed, will not be stained with equipment oil stains or other dirt, no odor.

4, measuring water absorption: good quality towels if drops of water, can quickly absorb; and inferior towel rubbed on the face slippery, not absorbent, not decontamination.

Fourth, remove the towel bacteria, four strokes easily get

1, cooking and disinfection

Boil the towel in boiling water for about 10 minutes, then wash it with soapy water and dry it before use.

2, microwave disinfection method

Wash the towel clean, fold it and put it in the microwave oven. It can be used for 5 minutes to achieve the purpose of disinfection.

3. High pressure steam disinfection method

Put the towel in the pressure cooker and heat it for about 30 minutes to destroy most of the microorganisms.

4. Chemical disinfectant disinfection method

Disinfectant can choose to dilute 200 times of cleaning disinfectant, soak the towel in the solution for more than 15 minutes, then take out the towel and rinse with water, remove the residual disinfectant, and dry it, then you can use it again.

Therefore, through the introduction of Xiaobian, we know that some bad habits of using towels will endanger our health. By disinfecting the towels, we can effectively ensure the safety of our use. Of course, the regular replacement of towels is also very important.
