Why you shouldn't hang towels on the oven door. This is something every housewife should know

 

One of the common habits of housewives is to hang kitchen towels on the oven door. Here's why it's not a good idea to do so.

Towels should be hung where people wash their hands, not where they bake cakes or other dishes. Hanging them over the oven creates a breeding ground for bacteria.

It's better to place a hook near the window and hang the towel there - it will dry faster there.

Special towel holders can also be used. If the towels are clean, it is advisable to mount the holders on the inside of a kitchen cabinet, on its doors. If the towels are damp, it is better to hang them separately – on the other side.

Kitchen towels should be washed at high temperature to kill all germs. During washing, you can safely add baking soda to the detergent. Before that, for about an hour, the towels can be soaked in hot water with baking soda. After this process, put them in the washing machine – they will become soft, clean and pleasantly smelling.
