A very silly question for a unimportant and small issue. (Answered)

I've been debating about this in my head for the past week and I don't know why it bothers me, but my mother gifted me a hand towel for me to dry my hands with when I wash them in my bathroom. But i share my bathroom with our friend that we live with and hes not the cleanest guy, he works with concrete and all of that, and I keep thinking about Luke 3:11 "He answered them, “He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise.”" and the thing is, its my only hand towel and I don't want it to get too dirty to dry my hands with it by him using it all the time, but I also don't know if this verse would apply in my situation and it would be the right thing to let him. It's not an important question but please answer if you have the time

he works with concrete and all of that
So, concrete is not really unsanitary, I would say. And it on his hands can mean he has done honest work.

You can share. Jesus is into sharing.

And wash the towel after everyone for a day has used it, and let it dry until morning. Even if it's damp in the morning, it could be dry enough to use.

well theres more to it, the only reason i said that is because if i mentioned anything else it would go into the realm of gossip/bad mouthing, but i guess your right, i could try that thank you
Jesus said "He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none". But apparently you don't have two hand towels. So get another hand towel for him to use. Give it to him as a gift. Tell him "this is your own personal hand towel". Problem solved.
