How to Tell the Difference Between Good and Bad Towels

Firstly, visual inspection: The stitching of the towel is precise, the hemming is neat, the width is consistent, the horizontal and vertical lines are straight, there is no slant or twist, the tension is consistent, the hair is uniformly high, and the loop stands upright; when holding the towel with both hands and looking at it with both eyes, the loop is smooth and clean, with little cotton fluff leaking out, it is good. Colors that are pure and bright with no uneven depth or shade are preferred.

Second. Touch: A good cotton towel should feel fluffy, soft, and not slippery. It should feel soft and elastic in your palm, and when you pat it, there should be no cotton fluff falling off.

Third. Smell: A good towel should have no unusual odor. If it has a candle or ammonia smell, it indicates that the softener has been used excessively; if it has a sour smell, the pH value might be above the standard; if it has a pungent smell, it means that a fixative containing formaldehyde has been used, and free formaldehyde has been released.

4. Testing moisture absorption: Hang the towel and drip water onto it with your hand. If the water does not roll off, it indicates that the towel absorbs and spreads quickly, making it excellent in moisture absorption. If the water rolls off, it suggests that there is too much softener in the towel or that the refining process is insufficient.

Section 5. Colorfastness test: First, pour about 80-degree hot water into a basin, and then put the towel in to wash. If the water in the basin does not show any color, it is good; if there is any color loss, it indicates poor dyeing quality, which may be harmful to human health. According to Mr. Yang Donghui, the chairman of the China Home Textile Association, such towels are "washing their faces with industrial wastewater."
