BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine Low Carb Washing Towels after Every Shower

Well I really like the idea. It is scary how many chemicals are in everything you use nowadays. So the idea of a natural, healthy cleaners very much appeals to me.

That being said, it's just not as good. It's like washing with lemon water. Yes, washing with water and a spritz of lemon is better than not washing - but it's just not very good at getting up grime and such. You really have to scrub. Still, I have lots of large bottles of this stuff now, so I am using it until it's all gone.

That's what I was afraid of. I'm going to try to use white vinegar more and wean myself off so much bleach. I am doing better, but it's my go-to cleaner/disenfectant!

I use my daily dishtowel with a nice vinegar solution i make myself. it also clears the air of food odors.

I have tried to reuse towels but...I cant stand a wet towel and they are always wet the next day or at lest damp... IF the towel would dry completely then germs would not grow and I would be fine but a wet towel is like taking a used, wet, kitchen sponge and drying off... yuck.

I do agree that kids need a heathy amount of germ exposer! that is why all these kids have alergies. you are completely correct there body overreacts to normal germs and you have alergies. I just have the genetic asthma it just my bodies normal reaction to everything. and believe me I did not have a bubble growing up until I was 3 and almost died because I was allergic to every thing i ate at my birthday party and all my new toys.... Chocolate ice cream, kool aide and stuffed care bears and my little ponys!!! At that time I would have gladly died for grummpy bear and lucky bear!!!! and the pink one I got the whole set of both and they were all in my bed and I turned blue....and tossed my cookies.... after month in the hospital....i took shots 4 times a week and had an inhalor and i could not go out side in cold air or back in the hospital for a month i went.... so yeah I guess it was kind of a simi bubble.... but it was not germ free by anymeans!!!

anyways.... how do you get your towels to completely dry in the house? I have tried laying them out, hanging them up over a sunny window, over the heater hanging on a plant hanger by a cloths hanger..... the only thing left is poping them into the dryer.....or getting the thin towels that i really do hate!

That is really so odd to me that some homes are so humid that towels won't dry. I'm in Massachusetts and have forced hot air heat and it's always SO dry in here that I have to run humidifiers. It goes to show how different the world can be!! So towels definitely dry out immediately, and we don't have any shower mold problems. On the downside our wallpaper curls off the walls because the glue dries out

What if you had two towels and alternated?
