This is an ideal environment for bacteria such as mycobacterium,” said Michael Schmidt, PhD, professor of microbiology from Charleston’s Medical University of South Carolina.
“Every time you wash, shampoo spray can on the shower head. A high content of protein in it can increase the growth of bacteria,” he added. As a solution, researchers from the University of Colorado recommends that you better take a shower without shower-can with water in the tub or by soaking in it.
2. Shower curtain
replacing the shower curtain in the area? Well, you need to know that this area is a favorite place for bacteria allergens and infections, which likes to settle in a moist plastic.

To avoid this, make sure you always wash your shower in your bathroom curtain every week with warm, soapy water, then hang it back in place, so the suggestion of researchers from the University of Arizona.

When are often left in humid conditions, coupled with dead skin cells are lifted from your skin while bathing, bacteria will multiply in no time. For that reason, experts recommend that you regularly soak the loofah in the cleaning solution to reduce the risk of transfer of bacteria into your skin.
