A shower sponge helps to thoroughly cleanse the body, making water procedures as effective as possible. It is important to know the rules for caring for this personal hygiene item in order not to cause health problems.
After bathing, the washcloth should be air-dried to prevent the growth of germs. Mesh products should be disinfected. It is recommended to change the washcloth every couple of weeks, writes NBN, citing the British publication Express.
Dr. Naheed Ali from Montreal said that this hygiene item can accumulate mold, dead cells, bacteria, which provokes the appearance of skin irritation, fungus and infections.
A constantly damp product will become an ideal environment for the reproduction of harmful bacteria. Such a hygiene item will harm people with eczema, sensitive skin and a weakened immune system.
The doctor also warned that washing your hair with a washcloth, as some people do, is a bad idea. This method will cause skin irritation, folliculitis, and thinning hair.
Earlier, the dentist explained the importance of the tongue cleaning procedure.
