1 Intrinsic quality indicators of towels

The inner mass of towels includes weight deviation rate, strength of fracture, water absorption, hair removal rate, fiber content deviation, color fastness (resistant to soap washing, friction resistance, chlorine bleaching) and water extract in towels.

According to the internal quality indicators, the standards divide the towel into high-quality products, first-class products and qualified products.

The water extract in the towel is implemented in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 27754-2011 "Definition of Water Extracts in Household Textile Towels". In this standard, the water extract limitation in the towel is shown in the following table. The assessment indicators for water extracts include three indicators: Pentachlorophenol content, liquid stain color, and transparency.

Chlorophenol (PCP) is a traditional anti-mold preservative for textiles. It can prevent the growth of fungi and inhibit the corrosion of bacteria. On October 27, 2017, in the list of carcinogens released by the World Health Organization International Cancer Research Agency, pentachlorophenol has very strict content limit requirements in the towel standards (≤5.0mg/kg).

2 Appearance quality indicators of towels

Appearance quality indicators of towels include specifications and size deviation rate, defects, and sewing quality. In terms of appearance quality,

is still divided into three levels: high-quality products, first-class products and qualified products.

It can be clearly seen that excellent products are "far ahead" in all appearance quality indicators, and there are no defects such as linear defects, strip defects, oil stains, color stains, etc. At the same time, jump needle and disconnection are absolutely not allowed!

How to buy towels scientifically?

One should look at: mainly look at the label, look at the grade, implementation standards and other contents indicated on the label. The standard identification of a qualified towel product is mainly composed of 9 aspects, namely the product name, fiber content, specification model, washing mark, safety category, certificate of conformity, execution standards, factory name and address, and quality level. Among them, the safety categories are divided into Class A infant standards, Class B adult standards and Class C non-direct contact skin towels. We should choose products with a grade of excellent products according to our needs.

2: A towel with a soft and fluffy feel is better. A good towel is soft and elastic when slapped in the fist, and it will not fall off without the lint. If the touch is slippery, water repellent may be attached to the softener, which will have poor water absorption and may even become hard after washing.

Three important news: There is no odor, which means that the dye is healthy and environmentally friendly.

What should I pay attention to when using towels?

It is recommended to prepare two wash towels. After washing your face and clean your skin, wash the towels with clean water and then dry them. Use two towels instead, put the unused towels in a ventilated place to dry to avoid bacterial growth. At the same time, it is best for us to change the towel every three months.

It is best to use special antibacterial soap to clean face wash towels. Do not use laundry detergent, because some laundry detergents are highly alkaline. If the towel is not cleaned during the washing of the towel and then wipe the face with a towel, it will indirectly "burn" the skin. Although it is not really burned, it is easy to clog pores during contact with the skin, resulting in acne and other problems.
