Do not throw in the towel; use it for wiping the sweat off your face. As inspirational as it may sound, towels can cause menace in your bathrooms when they are placed haphazardly.
Anything that has structure and anything that is organised has a charm to it. We believe we can embolden you with some of these ideas for towel storage.
Is it ok to store towels in the bathroom?
Bathrooms aren’t the best places to store towels in since they are damp and dampness breeds mildew; a fungal organism. Fungi can be unhealthy and in that, life-threatening. It is advisable to store towels in a dry cupboard or airy shelf.
Having said that, bathrooms can be safe to store towels in if they are dried and cleaned regularly.
What is the best way to store towels?
Create floating shelves in your bedrooms or place your clean towels in a cupboard that has ample air supply and is devoid of dampness. These are some of the best ways of storing towels as they keep them free of fungi.
How do I organise my bath towels?
