A face cloth spends more of its day damp than dry, and dampness is where freshness goes wrong. It meets skin that was just cleansed, picks up sebum and cleanser, then hangs beside a shower running twice a day. Nothing there is dirty, yet the cloth smells sour by Wednesday. Facial towels stay fresh between uses when they dry completely before the next use.
