Bathrobes absorb moisture, creams, sweat, and skin flakes. If not washed or dried properly, they develop a musty smell that clings to freshly washed skin.
How to keep it fresh
- Wash your robe weekly.
- Hang it open in a ventilated spot.
- Let it sit in the sun occasionally.
- Having two robes to rotate is very helpful.
