Bath Linens

Bath and hand towels should be laundered after 3 to 5 washes and hang to dry between use. Washcloths ought to be washed and air-dry after every use to prevent germs from growing on damp linens.

Loungewear

Pajamas and lounge clothes should be washed after 3 to 5 wears.

Note: For those who have asthma, allergies, or sensitive skin, it is best to increase the frequency of your laundering routine.
