What happens to used towels in a salon or school?

  1. Reused for cleaning

  2. Stored for a day

  3. Discarded

  4. Deposited in a closed receptacle

The correct answer is: Deposited in a closed receptacle

One possible reason why the other options are incorrect is that reusing used towels for cleaning poses hygiene issues, as they may have come into contact with various substances from previous uses. Additionally, storing used towels for a day may also lead to the growth of bacteria and mold, creating potential health hazards. Simply discarding used towels may contribute to unnecessary waste, especially if they can be properly cleaned and reused. Depositing used towels in a closed receptacle ensures they are contained and disposed of properly, reducing the risk of cross-contamination and promoting hygiene and cleanliness.
