1. How long will the Towel be suitable


in the year of home Textile Association, it was introduced that a person could replace a new towel in about 30 days, not more than 40 days. Maybe someone will say, isn't this too wasteful? In fact, this is reasonable.


The towel will become stiff after being used for a long time, but it will be infected with bacteria, which is harmful to human body. Practice has proved that coins, bedding and towel products are the three indirect media of disease. However, there are still many people influenced by traditional ideas, and there are some non-use methods; Such as multi-purpose towel, multi-person towel, no break or change, no attention to hygiene, neglect of product quality, etc.


We know that towels are made of yarn. Cotton fiber is a tubular structure, containing hollow cell cavity, which can store water; Its main chemical component cellulose molecule contains a large number of hydrophilic genes, which can absorb water. The moisture absorption and moisture storage properties of the veil make the towel feel good and have strong decontamination ability, and it is used for cleaning and hygiene. But it is also because of this characteristic that it provides convenient conditions for the breeding of bacteria. Bacteria warm and humid environment. The towel is in a warm and humid state for a long time, and the grease, dust, impurities in the water, dust in the air and so on from the human skin are deposited on the towel. Over time, the towel becomes a paradise for bacteria. Wiping the skin with such a towel will not be able to clean the skin, but will pollute the skin and block pores. Women who like makeup and children with fast metabolism have more grease on their skin, and towels are more vulnerable to infection, which is especially harmful to human skin.


Therefore, suggestion: don't change the towel after it is broken. Just like the use cycle of toothbrush, the use cycle of towel cannot exceed 3 months.


2. The secret of towel natural damage


some people report that holes or partial embrittlement will occur soon after the new towel is used, mainly due to mold.


Our engineers and technicians, most of the holes in the towel are irregular. We observed the brittle and discolored parts with a microscope and found that the mildew on the fiber surface was obvious, and the fiber mold colony could still be detected after washing. Crisp and damaged towels are stored in damp-heat and stuffy containers after washing or wiping sweat. The longer they are stored, the more severe the crisp and damaged. There are also new towels that are broken once washed. These towels are pulp towels without washing and Desizing. The starch pulp is exactly the nutrient base of mold. Once the environment conditions of damp heat and depression are met, mold will breed and reproduce and secrete enzymes, turn fiber and amylolysis into glucose. At the same time, dander contained in sweat (containing inorganic salts such as protein, fat, amino acid, potassium and sodium) further promotes the reproduction of bacteria and other microorganisms and releases acidic substances, it is not conducive to the survival of bacteria and accelerates the hydrolysis of starch and fiber. Therefore, after the new towel is used or with unwashed starch pulp, it will become moldy and brittle in the humid and unventilated environment.


Therefore, if you find that the towel has a sticky feeling and is accompanied by cacosmia, you should wash it with soap and dry it in a ventilated place as soon as possible. The newly produced towels must be decompressed, dried and cooled, and then packaged and stored. Do not store them in a humid and stuffy environment for too long to avoid mildew.


3. How to distinguish the quality of towels


. Appearance observation: the towel is finely sewn, piping neat, consistent in width and width, horizontal and vertical, non-oblique and non-twisted, consistent in tightness, neat in wool, upright in velvet circles; Wrist splint towel is straight in sight, the velvet ring is bright and clean, and it is better if it is rare to have cotton velvet outside. Those with bright colors and no uneven depth are better.


Second, hand touch: a good towel feels fluffy, soft and smooth. It is soft and elastic to hold in the palm, and there is no lint falling off.


Third. Smell: good towels have no smell. If there is candle smell or ammonia smell, it means that softening agent is excessive; If there is sour pH value may be marked; If there is pungent smell, it means that color fixing agent containing formaldehyde is used, and free formaldehyde is precipitated.


Fourth. Hygroscopicity test: the towel is hung with hands and then thrown to the towel. The water drops do not roll down, indicating that the absorption and diffusion are good. If the water drops, it indicates that the softening agent in the towel is excessive or the refining is insufficient.


Fifth. Color fastness test: first pour the hot water of about 80 degrees into the basin, and then put it into a towel to wash it up and down. If there is no color in the water in the basin, it is better; If there is color falling, the dyeing quality is poor, which hinders human health. Such towels are "washing face with industrial waste water" according to the words of Mr. Yang Donghui, president of China Textile Association ".
