How shall cloth towels, robes, and similar items be sanitized?

  1. Steamed

  2. Exposed to UV light

  3. Laundered with detergent and chlorine bleach

  4. Dry cleaned

The correct answer is: Laundered with detergent and chlorine bleach

Laundering with detergent and chlorine bleach is the best way to sanitize cloth towels, robes, and similar items because both the detergent and chlorine bleach work together to remove any dirt or grime and kill any bacteria or germs on the fabric. This method is more effective than simply steaming or exposing to UV light, as it physically removes any harmful substances. Dry cleaning may also effectively clean the items, but it may not necessarily sanitize them as thoroughly as laundering with detergent and bleach.
