People choose the misunderstanding of the existence of towels

　　 Mistaken towel bright color may use direct dye, if you feel good, you may add too much softener

In some large supermarkets, the towels placed on the shelves vary in color and style. The cheapest price is 3 yuan - 4 yuan, and the expensive one is more than 10 yuan. According to the sales staff of some supermarkets, the sales of brand-name products such as double-light satin and half-cut velvet towel, Jie Liya jacquard satin towel and sea lion brand towel are better, and Shanghai Boye towel and Jiaote p are innocent. Embroidered face towels, etc., although the price is higher, but the hand feels soft and sells well. However, price is still an important factor affecting towel sales. The promotional towel with a price of 2 yuan or so, although relatively low quality, has attracted many people's Taobao fever.

There are many misunderstandings in people picking and buying towels.

Experts pointed out that towels with bright colors and poor color fastness are likely to be "packaged" with direct dyes. Direct dyes are inexpensive, but most contain aromatic amines and are strong carcinogens. The human body is in direct contact with the towel containing the aromatic amine dye every day. The dye is easily absorbed by the skin and diffused in the human body. It is mixed with the substances released by the daily metabolic process, and a reduction reaction occurs to cause the DNA of the human body to mutate. Induces cancer or causes allergies. The use of such "problem towels" is tantamount to washing your face with industrial waste water.

Towels are used as a detergent, and excessive addition of softener will reduce their water absorption. Many consumers will find that soft, fluffy new towels must be soaked in water for the first time to allow the towel to absorb water. This is caused by excessive addition of softener. Zhu Zilong, an engineer at the Textile and Dyeing and Materials Testing Center of Fangyuan Testing Group of Zhejiang Province, said that because the softener is attached to the surface of the fiber, it is like a layer of wax, which not only reduces the friction between the fibers, but also prevents the penetration of water and reduces the water. Water storage capacity between fibers.

distinguish "Four chess" distinguishes the advantages and disadvantages of towels

How do consumers identify inferior towels and quality towels? Zhang Kerui, the general manager of Zhejiang Double Lamp Home Textile Co., Ltd., who has more than 30 years of experience in the production of towels, provides the “four chess” to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of towels.

First chess: look at the brand. Regular brand, brand-name towel, guaranteed quality of supply, strict inspection procedures. Shopping places should go to regular shopping malls, supermarkets or specialty stores.

Second chess: look at the logo. Qualified towel products should have a standard logo, which is mainly composed of nine aspects, namely product name, implementation standard, factory name, grade, fiber content, number specification, washing mark, safety category and certificate. For safety categories, it is divided into A ( baby towel ) , B ( direct contact with skin towel ) and C ( not directly contact with skin towel ) .

The third game: look at the appearance. The color of the good towel is fresh and bright, the pattern is clear, the loop is even, the seam is straight, and the appearance is neat. The quality towels are soft, fluffy and elastic, with a fresh, natural odor and no odor.

Fourth chess: quality. A water-absorbent towel can be quickly absorbed by water droplets; a towel with poor water absorption will form water droplets when it is dripped. A towel with good color fastness is added to the washing with warm water. The light-colored towel has no fading, and the dark product has a slight floating color for the first time, without obvious fading. A towel with poor color fastness has a large amount of floating color falling off in the water.
