You're bathing with washcloths, sponges, bath mitts and shower poufs — can the coronavirus live on them?
The virus that causes COVID-19 “may live on bath accessories made of plastic for up to three days,” Allawh said. “With this in mind, surfaces need to be thoroughly cleaned and not used by more than one individual in the household to prevent spread.”
“Cloth is much less likely to harbor the virus for long periods of time, as this material dries the virus out more quickly than other surfaces,” Palm told HuffPost. “Just remember that tighter weaves will dry slower, while open weaves more quickly.”Stanford’s Dalai said that he’s more concerned with the growth of bacteria and fungi on bath accessories than the growth of the coronavirus.
“when using a bath sponge that is saturated with bacteria and is not cleaned properly, there is a potential for them to be reintroduced into cuts and hair follicles, possibly causing irritation or superficial infections,” he added. Typically, Allawh recommends washing your bath accessories every three to four weeks. “In this current COVID-19 climate, I recommend washing with the above instructions after every use,” she said.
