Clean or Contaminated? The Best Time To Wash Your Bath Towels
Cleaning ourselves comes as a no-brainer for most. It is deeply ingrained in us that in order to eliminate germs, it's best to bathe or take a shower often. But that habitual mindset doesn't always translate when determining when we should wash our bath towels. There are ongoing debates about when's the best time to change your toothbrush and how often you should clean your bathroom, but no one really stresses the proper etiquette for clean bath towels. If you're intrigued like me, go down this rabbit hole to get to the bottom of this hunch. Trust me, if you believe you're washing your towels enough, reports would beg to differ. Why is proper towel maintenance important? When you dry off with towels, they get moist. This porous, damp environment is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. A common bath towel can have yeast, mold and E. coli growing on it without you ever knowing it. Gross, right? Regular washing prevents bacteria from growing.

There are some variables regarding how often you should wash your towels. Consumer Reports says that under normal circumstances, a towel can be used three or four times before it needs to be tossed in the hamper. Now notice, I said "times" not "days." So if you have multiple family members using a towel (like hand towels), it needs to be washed on the third or fourth use. Also, the condition of the person using the towel matters too. If they're sick, toss it in the laundry after one use. If it's flu season, it's best that every family member have their own towel -- even if they aren't exhibiting symptoms -- to prevent the potential spread of germs. How often you wash towels also depends on how they're dried after usage. If towels find themselves on the floor, the lack of air circulation will cause bacteria to grow quickly. To prolong the life of your towel, be sure to place damp towels on a towel rack. Better yet, crack open a window or turn on the fan to reduce moisture in the room.

The Infection Control department of Mid-Western Regional Hospital of Ennis, Ireland, recommends washing towels in water that is at least 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Celsius) or more to kill bacteria. So if you have a sanitize mode on your washing machine, use it. If not, you may consider raising the temperature on your water heater while washing that load. Be sure young children are supervised around sinks, tubs and showers while you do laundry, though, to prevent burns. And, before you reach for the fabric softener, don't. Fabric softener leaves residue on towels that makes them less absorbent.

Exclusive: Tommy Hilfiger Partners With New Cadillac Formula 1® Team
F1® The Movie star Damson Idris in the new Tommy Hilfiger APXGP Collection. Formula 1® racing is about to get even more popular, thanks to the upcoming F1® The Movie starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris and the Cadillac Formula 1® team's debut in 2026. Only one fashion brand, Tommy Hilfiger, has starring roles in both. The clothing brand's sponsorship for the Apple Original Films' racing flick produced by Jerry Bruckheimer was announced in March. Now, PVH Corp.'s Tommy Hilfiger, the American preppy brand founded in 1985, is announcing its role as the official apparel partner for the new motorsports team. Founder and principal designer Tommy Hilfiger, whose formative years involved a former F1 racetrack, parlayed love for the fast-paced sport and fashion with several racing partnerships: Team Lotus in 1991, then Ferrari and Mercedes-AMG F1TM️, to brand collaborations with driver Sir Lewis Hamilton. The global fashion powerhouse will play a key apparel role in the first new team to join the pinnacle sport since 2016. The tie-up marks the new F1 race team's first official partner announcement. The products include an official team's kit—to dress drivers, pit crews, paddock staff, team car constructors, management—and sport-inspired fanwear collections. The drop is timed to the March 2026 Formula 1 season and available in Tommy Hilfiger stores globally and select partner distribution. Tommy Hilfiger logo placement will grace technical gear such as the driver's suit, helmet and race car for the new Cadillac Formula 1 team, which was created by TWG Motorsports and General Motors. The announcement comes as the brand launches its F1 The Movie APXGP Collection globally across its stores, with select wholesale partners, and before the film's late June release. The collection features the movie's star, Damson Idris, a Tommy Hilfiger brand ambassador, in the campaign. Former Tommy Hilfiger brand ambassador Lewis Hamilton at the Spring 2018 TommyNow "Drive" show in ... More Milan. According to Hilfiger, the 2019 Netflix docuseries Formula 1®: Drive to Survive and the new F1®: Academyabout female racing talent, opened the sport's popularity to new audiences. "Drive to Survive lifted it to a new level; the F1: Academy will take it to another, but F1 the Movie is like the stratosphere," Hilfiger continued, adding, "I don't think there is another sport as relevant." Alba Larsen of the new series F1 ACADEMY™ "These documentaries show behind the scenes, and that's inspired a lot of new fans, which is the sport's biggest asset," Lowdon concurred. Hilfiger's brand embodies the FAMES approach: fashion, art, music, entertainment, and sports to capture the cultural Zeitgeist. Formula 1 is currently at the apex. "It's more than a sport. It's a global force. Fashion and motorsports have been part of the culture and relate to luxury for years. It's an elite sport gaining many international fans," said Hilfiger. For Lea Rytz Goldman, Tommy Hilfiger Global Brand President, delivering these cultural moments is bolstered by tech. "Tools like AI are helping us better understand what consumers want and how they engage. As we deepen our involvement with Formula 1, we see powerful ways to use technology to bring fans even closer through immersive activations, storytelling, and digital experiences, making them part of the action on the track or online," she said. 'Tommy Hilfiger is driving some of the most exciting consumer engagement in its history, and we are making this strategic investment as Formula 1 expands its relevance in the US and globally. This partnership is the latest example of how we are building Tommy Hilfiger into one of the most desirable lifestyle brands in the world as part of the PVH+ Plan—our long-term, brand-building growth strategy,' added Stefan Larsson, CEO, PVH Corp. Mr. Tommy Hilfiger Tommy sees it organically like the 1970s musical heroes that inspired his design ambitions. "The drivers are like rock stars. They're cool young athletic people living a great lifestyle." Tommy Hilfiger and Cadillac have global brand recognition. The latter is synonymous as the ultimate American luxury car with a motorsport background. "Cadillac has a proud and storied racing history as far back as 1950 when they began competing at Le Mans at World Championship Level," said Cadillac Formula 1 Team Principal Graeme Lowdon. The power of the names together is immense. "These two iconic American brands come together with a colorful history in visual culture. I love racing's iconic graphics. The uniforms are very cool with patches, logos, and team names. It's rich in design territory. We had insight into the Cadillac team's design direction; it will look incredible across the collections," noted Hilfiger. Cadillac Formula 1® Team Principal Graeme Lowdon The car brand is equally enamored. "Tommy has known Formula 1 for a long time. It's the pinnacle of motorsport, like Cadillac is for luxury automobiles. Cadillac's brand values are bold, sophisticated, and optimistic. That was a natural fit with the Tommy Hilfiger brand. Combining this offers an ambitious, confident outlook. The chemistry, vision, and passion felt right from the start. Racing is about passion and desire to win," Lowdon said. Both brands embody Americana with the cars soon to boast 'Made in the USA' in an Indianapolis manufacturing headquarters. "I didn't see that coming in the earlier years. Formula 1 was automobiles and cars coming from Europe. Building out fanwear with our iconic prep with Cadillac's bold racing and motorsport motifs is an exciting playground to push the boundaries," Hilfiger added of the partnership that was nearly two years in the making. Fashion's connection with racing was apparent in the Spring of 2018. Lewis Hamilton became Tommy Hilfiger Men's global brand ambassador and created five Tommy X Lewis collections during their six-year partnership. It coincided with the TommyNow "Drive" show during Milan Fashion Week that involved a race car on a runway. The Tommy x Gigi collection and sporty racing motifs also ran the track. Three of Hamilton's joint-record seven World Drivers Championships occurred during the six-year period. George Russell, another Mercedes team racer to join the Tommy Hilfiger universe, also regularly sported the clothes for appearances on and off the track. "Lewis expressing himself through fashion helped shift the spotlight beyond the track as he became a style icon," Hilfiger said. The collaboration happened before fashion existed in motorsport, and Hamilton's gusto for dressing up inspired other drivers to up the style ante, typically choosing Tommy Hilfiger. Hamilton winning those years is not lost on Lowdon. "There is an advantage to feeling good, whether wearing Tommy or driving a Cadillac. Formula 1 is a big team sport. We want mechanics, engineers, designers, and everyone working at the top of their game, feeling good and focused. The association with Tommy Hilfiger gives them a lot of confidence. People underestimate in sports, what you wear and how you feel are enormously linked to performance." Lowdown added.

Inspiration comes from the uniforms' authenticity to the extended team in the pits and factories. "Technology plays a huge part in all of it because the creation of cars and engines uses advanced technology. Putting technology into our fashion clothing is important. Using technical fabrics that add breathability, waterproofing, or a type of stretch or reflective can feel like the racing uniforms," Hilfiger noted. "Formula 1 is the Haute Couture of motor racing because cars are handmade. I love the creativity that sets Formula 1 apart. We see that same creative flare and passion for design and ideas with Tommy's talented team as ours. We can do many exciting things in this partnership," Lowdon added. "We're setting a new standard for how fashion and F1 can evolve into a new chapter, and we are incredibly proud leading it. It will be an epic milestone for American motorsport," Hilfiger stressed. Rytz Goldman concurs. "It's not just about race day—it's about tapping into the energy of the sport to create cultural moments extending beyond the track like our APXGP Collection, which fuels the connection between style, motorsport, and cinematic storytelling. These and other collaborations will continue to open opportunities to connect with and excite new communities and lead in the cultural conversation," she added. To wit, Tommy Hilfiger is also in partnership with F1 ACADEMY™, the series designed to help develop young female drivers and sponsors Spanish talent Nerea Martí. Archive images from the Tommy Hilfiger Team Lotus collaboration. Musicians were Hilfiger's early design beacons, and so were car races. "I was at a race where the John Player Special team won. Afterward, we talked a couple of the drivers and pit crew into giving us gear. That inspired shirts with embroideries, patches, and all sorts of detail in early collections taken from those authentic black shirts with gold lettering. They were the only team to do black, which was cool," reminisced Hilfiger, recalling his high school proclivities of working on his car at his gas station job and taking it out for a spin on the Watkins Glen track. Both gentlemen are pumped for the respective task ahead, especially one that involves the super stringent world of Formula 1. "It's relentless, but the challenge is part of the appeal. We're building a team for Cadillac's first entry everyone can be proud of. While drivers are the heroes, it involves 1000 people. We want the fans to join us," Lowdon noted. "Above all, I'm proud to be a part of an American team," said Hilfiger, adding, "As a fashion brand, we like to think into the future. What could be disruptive but inclusive and on brand? So, we're always looking at everything through the lens of pop culture that can extend into different categories. There are no limits, and F1 is at the heart of that mix; we've always been ahead of the curve!

The Next Chapter of Nike Golf Starts with Luke Clanton
Back in late January, there were signs thatNike Golfwas preparing to stage a comeback. AfterTiger Woods' long-term contract ran its course, questions began swirling about the Swoosh's staying power in the sport. But whenthe brand made a surprise splash at the PGA Show—unveiling an expansive and clearly expensive booth filled with apparel, shoes and larger-than-life banners—the golf world took notice. Sure,Nikeretained names likeScottie Scheffler,Tony FinauandNelly Korda. But who would carry the next generation? Who could bring both on-course results and, potentially one day, off-course presence? That's where Luke Clanton enters the picture. The 21-year-old Florida State standout has been a fixture on college leaderboards for the past few seasons, leading FSU through deep postseason runs and earning All-American honors in the process. With a compact, powerful swing and an undeniable maturity about him, Clanton has the skills to execute and the confidence to mix it up with the world's best players. Last summer he went on an unprecedented run where he finished inside the top 10 at consecutive TOUR events, the first time an amateur had done that since 1958. Now he's ready to turn pro as Nike Golf's newest signing (with an announcement video to boot). And while he may not be a household name yet, the partnership already feels meaningful. 'Like a dream come true,' he said of putting on the Swoosh for the first time at late February's Cognizant Classic. Weeks before making hisPGA TOURdebut at the RBC Canadian Open, Clanton sat down with Hypegolf to talk about the moment and what it means to step into the next chapter. How has it been over the last year or two balancing your journey through pro tournaments, college golf and academics? Yeah, I mean, I'll be honest I was kind of just going with it as it came. It was definitely new to me. Originally, we thought I'd have one PGA TOUR start after winning the Valspar Collegiate to get into Valspar the next year. Then, suddenly, I had 12 starts before that. So it kind of happened in a blur. Thankfully, the academic staff, coaching staff and everyone at FSU were a massive help. I was a bit lost in it all, but I had a great team behind me. Whether it was being away for a week and a half or jumping straight into a college event, the coaches made sure I was right—physically and mentally. At the beginning, I wasn't even thinking about a TOUR card. I just thought it would be cool to play in some PGA TOUR events. Then my agent came to me—I think I had four points at the time—and said we had a platform to actually get the card. I kind of laughed like, 'Well, we need 20.' And he goes, 'Yeah, we can do that.' So we started checking off boxes. By the fall, around RSM [Classic], I had my first real moment where I was like, 'Damn, I can actually contend in these events.' Getting the card at Cognizant, especially being so close to where I grew up, was just an unbelievable journey. So while the card wasn't part of the initial plan, did you always see professional golf in your future—even if the path was uncertain? In the beginning of my sophomore spring, I had only one college win and I was top 20 in the world, which was great—but my goal was just to play the best golf I could. Then I won three college events in a row that spring, and that boosted my confidence. I felt like my game was getting where I wanted it. But after losing Nationals [NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championship] the way we did, I was crushed. The next week, I hadU.S. Openqualifying. I remember my mom driving me there, and I was still so down about Nationals. She looked at me and said, 'You gotta focus up. You've got three big things coming.' I ended up qualifying, and my first thought was, 'Holy crap, I'm in a major.' Then I shot 6-over in the first round. I thought I was done. Came back with a 1-under, made the cut, then shot another 1-under. Suddenly, I had a chance to win low amateur. I missed a five-footer on 18 to tie for it, so I was back to being disappointed. But the emotional rollercoaster of that week taught me a lot about expectations. Same thing at John Deere [Classic] and Rocket Mortgage [Classic]. I was contending, then frustrated not to win. But six months earlier, I'd have been thrilled just to play. Each week taught me more, and by my last start at Valspar, I felt like, 'I can win this.' I'm just trying to keep expectations in check while building confidence. After those big tournament moments, did you feel a shift in how you were seen by your college teammates when you returned to campus? Not one bit, and that was the coolest thing. When I came back after the summer, the first day of class, all the guys were there, and nothing had changed. We have a rule: no matter if you're a freshman or a senior, we treat everyone the same. That team chemistry has been so important for me. It keeps me grounded. They were obviously curious and asked how things went, but we were all still competing, all still trying to reach the same goal. You're with Nike now, but in the past you had the Good Good logo on your gear. You seem pretty tuned in to the creator community in golf. How much do you follow that space, and has it influenced you whether in mindset or social media? Funny enough, when I was 16, I DMedGarrett [Clarke]fromGood Good—back when he was still GM Golf and had maybe 100k followers—just saying, 'Hey, want to play 18 holes?' He replied, said he was in Miami, and we played. A couple months later, the whole Good Good crew came out to my home course, and I got to know them really well. I stayed in touch with Garrett and started learning about what they were doing creatively with YouTube. I think what they've done to grow the game is really impressive. A lot of people who don't watch the PGA TOUR are still watching golf on YouTube because of them. They've become a big business, doing charity events and more. Garrett helped me understand social media, helped boost my profile, and I'm really thankful for that. Playing in front of a camera is hard. It's a whole different thing. So having that experience early was super valuable. And tell me about the Nike partnership. How did that come about, and how does it feel to get to wear the Swoosh? I mean, yeah—just having the honor to wear the Swoosh has kind of been my dream growing up. You think about all the top players, all the top athletes in the world and they wear Nike. So when the opportunity came, it was incredible. I told my agent immediately, 'I'm in.' The first time I ever wore it was at the Cognizant Classic, and I remember putting it on that Thursday morning and thinking, man, this is a dream come true. Like, not only do I have a chance to earn my card, but I also get to wear Nike. I remember talking to my caddie that morning and just saying how thankful I was for everything that's happened in my life to even get to that point. It's really incredible to be a part of it. Have you gotten as far as thinking about what you're going to wear at certain moments? Is that something you're looking to take part in? A little bit, yeah. I'm definitely excited to see what Nike has coming in the future. I've actually never been a big fashion guy, which is funny to say now. But once I got signed and they started sending me some gear, I was like, damn, this is really cool. Now I'm learning every step of the way. Growing up, we didn't have much of that kind of stuff, so even just getting a nice pair of shoes or anything from the Nike store is incredible. I'm just excited to keep seeing what's next with them. And then building up to your first pro start in early June—just broadly, how are you feeling about it? What are you most looking forward to? I haven't thought about it too much, honestly, just because of everything going on with the college season. We've still got Regionals and Nationals coming up. It does creep into your mind sometimes, like when you're watching the PGA TOUR on TV and you see those guys out there. You want to be out there too. But right now, my one goal in college is to win a national championship with this team. We've been so damn close twice now. I'm super pumped for that first start at RBC, I really am, but it's hard not to stay locked in on Nationals. Once that last putt drops and hopefully we're holding that trophy, that's when I'll really start thinking about the next chapter. Until then, it's all about enjoying every moment I've got left here. Because I've got less than a month left on campus, and we're trying to soak it all in.
