Dish towels
Think of what you do with your dish towel. You run it over dishes that were dirty just moments before. There’s a chance that you didn’t get all of the bacteria off. You probably also use that towel to occasionally dry your hands since, let’s be honest, most of us don’t keep both a hand and separate dish towel by the kitchen sink. So you’re getting bacteria all over this thing, and then it sits, damp. Bacteria loves damp environments. Dish towels should be cleaned and swapped out a few times a week. Throw them in whenever you’re doing your regular laundry, and keep a few on hand so you can swap in a clean one when the others are in the wash.
