Shower Sponges and Your Health

When it comes to cleaning your body, a shower sponge may just be the perfect tool. A sponge is inexpensive and will do a great job scrubbing away grime and leftover soap. Here are a few ways a shower sponge could benefit you:

A shower pouf is a great tool to have around the house. While a bath sponge will work just fine, loofahs are a better way to make fast work of your shower routine. They can easily be hand washed and are very sanitary, especially if you use them on your skin. If you get an antibacterial sponge, then that will help too. Washcloths, especially Terry cloths, are good for washing, as they have the ability to absorb water and dry out.

Shower sponges also have another benefit - they clean after every use. Most of them will hold onto the grime and soap and will not let it dry on your skin, but even a simple sponge will make sure any bacteria is off your body before you take a shower. Whether you use regular soap, or an antibacterial soap, a shower sponge will work wonders at keeping your bathroom fresh and clean. If you have a mold problem in your bathroom, adding some bleach to the water will kill the mold and keep you from having to worry about it again. Remember, a sponge is a good way to prevent mold from forming on your skin in the first place!
