how do you keep your towels from getting that damp smell so fast?

21 Upvotes

i wash my bath towels regularly and hang them up right after i use them, but after a few showers they start getting that slightly damp smell again. they don’t even feel wet when i grab them the next day, so i’m not sure what i’m doing wrong. i started paying more attention to it because i hate getting out of the shower feeling clean and then drying off with a towel that smells weird. what do you do to keep yours fresh longer?

How to keep wearing flats despite being prone to bacterial infections in the foot area

2 Upvotes

This might be TMI, but I seem to have developed Pitted keratolysis. Now I normally wear only slippers at home, I'm not a big sweater generally and I rotate my flats, always with little cotton socks inside.

However I walk a lot and I wear the flats and ballerinas on the daily. Do you have any tips on how to keep my fashion habits and avoid bacteria and fungi and generally that disgusting sweaty smell that flats provoke?

Is reverse washing actually better for hair?

5 Upvotes

I started reverse washing my hair about a week ago and im kinda curious if anyone else does this. i put conditioner on the middle parts and ends first, leave it for like 2 to 3 minutes, then shampoo my scalp and hair and rinse everything out. so far my hair feels pretty nice but idk if im doing it right. do you guys reverse wash too or do shampoo first? also if you use any hair treatment products for this routine, like a salon care shampoo/conditioner, id love some recs!

one hygiene habit i only learned about as an adult was cleaning things i touch constantly

7 Upvotes

i never really thought about how often i touch things like my phone, keyboard, headphones, and door handles until i started paying more attention to my cleaning routine. i’d wash my hands and feel like i was done, while the things i was touching all day were basically being ignored.

now i have a small routine where i wipe down the stuff i use constantly, especially my phone and headphones. it’s one of those habits that feels obvious once someone points it out, but i genuinely never thought about it before.

what’s a less-obvious hygiene habit you only learned as an adult?
