How long is the replacement cycle for daily necessities?

<The Importance of Replacing Daily Necessities>

 

Towels, shower towels, toothbrushes, etc. that come into direct contact with our bodies should be replaced at appropriate intervals. This is because they may not function properly and could also pose health risks.

It is important to understand the appropriate replacement cycle and proper usage for each essential item.

 

<Replacement Cycle and Precautions>

 

Toothbrush

 

It is recommended to replace your toothbrush every three months. Using a toothbrush for a long time causes the bristles to bend and splay, making it difficult to effectively remove plaque and debris.

This also increases the risk of gum damage. Therefore, it is recommended to replace the toothbrush every three months, and even if three months have not passed, if the bristles are worn out or bent, replacement is necessary.

Additionally, this is a sign that the brushing force is too strong, so an assessment of brushing strength is also necessary.

 

Shower towel

 

Shower towels often retain dead skin cells and bacteria on the skin.

Additionally, the humid air in the bathroom promotes the growth of these bacteria, and continuously using such shower towels can cause acne on the back and chest.

Therefore, it is recommended to dry the shower towel thoroughly after use and replace it every two months.

 

Towel

 

Towels require careful care because they come into direct contact with the skin.

Skin flakes also stick to towels, which can become food for microorganisms, so it is recommended not to reuse damp towels after use.

If it is difficult to suck each time you use it, it is better to use it only after it is completely dry.

The appropriate replacement cycle for towels is 1 to 2 years, and if the towel becomes excessively stiff before this period, it can cause skin irritation, so it is recommended to replace it.

 

Sponge

 

It is good to replace the dish sponge used for washing dishes about once a month, and it is important to dry it well after use.

Because wet sponges harbor over a million bacteria.

If you wash dishes with a wet sponge soaked in detergent, you are essentially contaminating the dishes with bacteria. Therefore, it is important to dry the sponge frequently and ensure it is well dried before use.
