Everyone uses towels every day, which products have their advantages and disadvantages, towels are no exception, here I will discuss the quality of towels, and the maintenance of towels. The quality of the first towel: The quality of the towel is mainly reflected in the following aspects 1. Weight: The cost of a towel is based on weight. The heavier it is, the higher its cost and the better the quality. 2. Raw materials: The materials of the towels are not polyester/cotton, pure cotton or bamboo fiber wood fiber. Their cost difference is not very large, but there are some differences in technical requirements. The polyester cotton has poor water absorption and will be hard for a long time. Feel good, but not solid, can not be used for a long time, easy to break, bamboo wood fiber absorbs the sex of the first two are good, but the cost price is much higher, it is not much different from ordinary towels, unless it is special needs, such as beauty need. Now let's talk about the difference between pure cotton and mixed cotton. The cotton woven fabric is made of cotton as a raw material, and is woven by a looms, which are intertwined by the warp and weft yarns. Cotton fabric is divided into 1 natural white cloth: ordinary cloth, fine cloth, coarse cloth, canvas, twill grey cloth, primary color cloth. 2 color cloth: there are vulcanized blue cloth, vulcanized ink cloth, Shilin blue cloth, Shilin gray cloth, color poplin, various colors, and various colors. 3 Flower cloth: It is a cloth printed with various colors and patterns. Such as: plain print, printed twill, printed enamel, printed tribute. 4-color woven fabric: It is a fabric that is dyed by yarn or thread, and then woven on the machine, such as woven cloth, quilt cloth, flannel cloth, thread, decorative cloth, and the like. Characteristics of cotton fabric 1 Hygroscopicity: Cotton fiber has good hygroscopicity. Under normal conditions, the fiber can absorb water into the surrounding atmosphere. Its moisture content is 8-10%, so it contacts human skin and makes people feel soft. Not stiff. If the humidity of the cotton cloth increases and the ambient temperature is high, the water content in the fiber will all evaporate and disperse, so that the fabric maintains a water balance state, which makes people feel comfortable. 2 Moisture retention: Because cotton fiber is a poor conductor of heat and electricity, the heat transfer coefficient is extremely low, and because cotton fiber itself has porosity and high elasticity, a large amount of air can be accumulated between fibers, and air is a poor conductor of heat and electricity. Therefore, pure cotton fiber textiles have good moisture retention, and wearing cotton fabrics makes people feel warm. 3 Heat resistance: The cotton fabric has good heat resistance. When it is below 110 °C, it will only cause the water on the fabric to evaporate without damaging the fiber. Therefore, the cotton fabric is worn at normal temperature, and the fabric is not washed or printed. The effect is thus improved on the washability and durability of the cotton fabric. 4 Alkali resistance: cotton fiber has greater resistance to alkali. Cotton fiber does not break in alkali solution. This property is good for washing after washing, disinfecting impurities, and also for cotton textiles. Dyeing, printing and various processing to produce more new varieties of cotton. 5 Hygiene: Cotton fiber is a natural fiber, its main component is cellulose, and a small amount of waxy substances and nitrogen and pectin. The cotton fabric has been inspected and practiced in many aspects. The fabric is in contact with the skin without any stimulation, and has no negative effect. It is beneficial to the human body for a long time and has good sanitary performance. Chemical fiber is a general term for textile fibers obtained by chemical processing using natural polymer materials or synthetic polymer materials. classification 1 Man-made fiber: It is the largest variety of chemical fiber. It is made of natural high molecular substances such as wood, bagasse, reed, soybean, and cheese, which are made of cellulose or protein, and chemically and mechanically processed. For example: artificial cotton, rayon, artificial hair, tiger kapok, rich cotton. 2 Synthetic fiber: Synthetic fiber is a large class of chemical fiber, which is a by-product of the petrochemical industry and the coking industry. For example: polyester, nylon, rayon, vinylon, polypropylene, chlorin, etc. are all synthetic fibers. Blended fabric The blended chemical fiber fabric is a textile product of chemical fiber and other cotton wool, silk, hemp and other natural fiber mixed spinning. For example: polyester cotton cloth, polyester hair huada, etc. Towels are an indispensable item in daily life. Perhaps it is too common, people generally use too much for the use, selection, placement and other aspects of towels. As everyone knows, if you use the towel incorrectly, it will reduce your quality of life and even affect your health. Scientific experiments have proved that coins, bed linen and towel products are the three indirect media for disease transmission. So, what should you pay attention to when purchasing and using towels? Here are some common sense that you should know about this aspect. A wide range of towel products According to the use, it is divided into: bath towel, face wipe, dry hair towel, kitchen towel, beach towel, children towel, air-conditioned room towel, etc. According to the style, it is divided into: spiral, cut velvet, plain color, printing, and can also be added with various techniques such as satin, satin, embroidery, decal, rowing, inlay, etc. The good towel materials are exquisite and the seams are fine. Exquisite and durable. Pay attention to the following points when purchasing towels: 1. The texture is pure cotton; 2, water absorption is better. If the quality of the towel is dripping on the water droplets, it can be quickly absorbed. If it is used to wipe the face, it can quickly dry the water and remove the dust. The inferior towel is slippery on the face, not absorbing water, not decontaminating. ; 3, depends on the factory. The quality of the guaranteed towel box will be clearly marked: manufacturer, place of origin, telephone, trademark, implementation standards, washing methods. Many fake and inferior products will also be marked with 100% cotton. In fact, they are doped with a considerable proportion of chemical fibers. These low-quality ordinary chemical fibers are cheaper than cotton yarns, but they are airtight, have poor water absorption and moisture wicking, and are easy to pilling. Use it to wash your face, it will irritate the skin, it will be used to wipe furniture and other items, it is not easy to wipe clean, there will be water stains on the surface of the item. More seriously, some manufacturers also use some banned dyes, which contain phenylamine carcinogens. Therefore, to purchase quality-assured towels, you should go to some special stores or department stores to buy; 4, to understand some ways to identify the quality of towels. The first is to look at the appearance. Whether it is printing or plain towels, as long as the materials are used, the craftsmanship at home, the color must be more vivid, at first glance there is a sense of freshness, and the pattern is printed clearly, the loops are even, the seams are neat; avoid buying the color as old as the old Towels, such towels are generally simple in process, poor in materials, and even cut corners to hinder health; Second, by hand. The high-quality towel feels soft and feels fluffy and elastic in the hand; avoid buying a dry towel; Also smelling the smell. Qualified towel products should have no odor. New towel Bamboo fiber towel: It has strong toughness, soft texture, antibacterial and antimony, clearing heat and detoxifying skin-friendly, natural and environmentally friendly. Bamboo fiber is known as “the ecological fiber that will breathe†because of its good gas permeability, hygroscopicity, unique resilience and instant water absorption. Colored cotton towels: Colored cotton has the reputation of “plant cashmereâ€. When cotton bolls of colored cotton are mature, they can directly produce yellow, brown, brown and other colors of cotton. These colors are completely formed naturally and do not need to be used during processing. Chemical dyes, therefore, the wax on the surface of the fiber is not eliminated, and the color of the finished product gives a soft, natural, calm and mellow visual experience. The natural color of colored cotton ensures the “green zero pollution†of the whole process of color cotton fabric from planting to processing, avoiding the harm to the human body. Towel purchase has common sense and is also used for learning. â— Do not use the new towel directly. The new towel should be washed with water before use. This is because when the towel is displayed in the mall, it may be touched by many consumers, and it is unhygienic to use it directly; â—Used towels should be cleaned, aired, dried and used before they meet the health and hygiene requirements. If they are not repeatedly washed and dried and reused, or even shared by many people, the chance of bacterial transmission will increase greatly. May cause cross-infection. The health organizations in our country have also issued a special article to promote the number of women using three towels for men. â— The place where the towel is placed should be kept ventilated and dry to prevent spots or breed various bacteria and increase the service life of the towel; â—Do not use bleach on household towels to avoid skin damage; â— Towels should be replaced in time. Any product has a lifespan. The towel is made of fiber fabric and is organic. It is usually used for 3 months. Therefore, the towel should be replaced in time according to the time of use. If the towel is mildewed or hardened, replace it immediately. â—Everyone must have their own special towel and configure towel products for different purposes as needed. Face towels, bath towels, absorbent hoods, sports towels, etc. should be used separately; â—When the towel is used up, it should be cleaned in time, disinfected once a week, preferably dried or dried in time; â—When the towel becomes greasy, it can be washed with salt water. Disinfection tips Towels are often contaminated with human secretions, many of which are pathogenic microorganisms such as Chlamydia trachomatis, Staphylococcus aureus, gonococcal and mold, and therefore, disinfection is advocated every week. There are several disinfection methods: â— Cooking and disinfection method. The towel should be boiled in boiling water for about 10 minutes, then washed with soapy water and dried to be used. â— Microwave disinfection method. Wash the towel clean, fold it and put it in the microwave oven. It can be used for 5 minutes to achieve the purpose of disinfection; â— High pressure steam sterilization method. Put the towel into the pressure cooker and heat it for about 30 minutes to kill most microorganisms; â— Chemical disinfectant disinfection method. Disinfectant can choose to dilute 200 times of cleaning disinfectant, soak the towel in the solution for more than 15 minutes, then take out the towel and rinse with water, remove the residual disinfectant, and dry it, then use it again.
