Tips for using towels

1. How long should you use the towel

  On the year of association of home spin, have expert introduction, the individual USES towel had better 30 days or so to change new, do not exceed 40 days at most. Some might say, isn't that wasteful? In fact, there is a scientific reason for this.

  Towel used for a long time will hair hard, the most important is that it will be infected with bacteria, harmful to the human body. Practice has proved that coin, bedding and towel products are the three indirect media of infectious diseases. However, there are still many people affected by traditional ideas, there are some unscientific methods of use; As a towel multi-purpose, many people a towel, do not break not change, do not pay attention to health neglect product quality and so on.

  We know that towels are made of pure cotton. Cotton fibers are tubular structures with hollow cells that store water. Its main chemical component cellulose molecule contains a lot of hydrophilic genes, can absorb water. The moisture absorption and moisture storage of the veil make the towel feel comfortable and has strong decontamination ability, which can be used for cleaning and sanitation. But it is precisely because of this property for the breeding of bacteria provides a convenient condition. Bacteria like warm, moist conditions best. Towel for a long time in the warm and wet state, plus the human skin on the oil, dust, impurities in the water, air dust and so on deposit in the towel, over time the towel became a bacterial paradise. Wipe the skin with such towel again, do not have clean effect only, can pollute the skin instead, clog pore. Women who like to make up and children who have a fast metabolism have more skin oil, and towels are more susceptible to infection, which is especially harmful to human skin.

   So, expert advice: don't wait for the towel to break before replacing it. The longest life cycle of a towel should not exceed 3 months, just like the life cycle of a toothbrush.

2. The secret of natural towel breakage

   Some people reported that the new towel will be broken or local brittle damage soon after use, the main reason is from mold.

   Our engineers and technicians found that most of the holes in the towel were irregular, and the surface of the fiber was found to be mildewable when observed with a microscope, and the fungal colony of the fiber could still be detected after washing. Brittle damage towels are in the wash or wipe sweat, not dry storage into the humid heat suffocated container storage longer more serious damage. There are also new towels that break when washed. These towels are not washed desizing towel with pulp, starch pulp is exactly the nutrient base of mold, once with damp heat and suffocating environmental conditions, mold will rapidly breed and secrete enzymes, fiber and starch into glucose. At the same time, the dander contained in sweat (including protein, fat, amino acid, potassium, sodium and other inorganic salts) further promoted the reproduction of bacteria and other microorganisms, released acidic substances, not only conducive to the survival of bacteria, but also accelerated the hydrolysis of starch and fiber. So after the use of new towels or with unwashed starch slurry, in the humid and hot environment without ventilation will mildew and brittle damage.

  Therefore, if you find that the towel is sticky and smelly, you should wash it with soap and air it in a ventilated place as soon as possible. The towel that new production must desizing, dry thoroughly, cool hind is in pack deposit, must not be in damp and sultry environment deposit lets go for a long time, lest produce mildew.

3. How to distinguish good and bad towels

   1. Appearance observation: the towel has fine sewing, neat cuff, uniform width and narrow, horizontal and vertical, no Angle and twist, uniform elasticity, neat wool height, and upright velvet ring; Hand towel at eye level, smooth and clean velvet ring, rare lint shedding is preferred. The color is pure and bright, the person that does not have depth unevenness phenomenon had better.

   Second. Hand touch: a good cotton towel feels fluffy, soft and smooth. Hold in the palm, soft and elastic, flapping without shedding of lint.

   Third. Smell: good towels do not smell. If there is a smell of candle or ammonia, it indicates excessive softening agent; If there is a sour PH value may exceed the standard; If there is a pungent taste, it means that the use of formaldehyde containing color fixing agent, free formaldehyde precipitation.

   Fourth, test the hygroscopic property: the towel is suspended and shaken to the towel after touching the water with hands. The water drops do not roll down, indicating that the absorption and diffusion are rapid and the hygroscopic property is good; If there is a drop of water in the towel will prompt excessive softening agent or insufficient refining.

   Fifth. Color fastness test: first pour 80 degrees or so of hot water into the basin, and then put the towel to wash up and down. The water in the basin did not see color; If there is a drop indicates poor dyeing quality, it is harmful to human health. Such a towel is according to the words of Mr. Yang Donghui, President of China Home Textile Association. Washing your face with industrial waste water.

How to wash the towel
