Not long ago, a media reported that most of the carcinogenic benzidine in the faded towel exceeded the standard, and some even exceeded the national mandatory limit by hundreds of times. And the national cotton textile product testing Central quality inspection Department experts think that the towel color is not toxic and harmful substances, some regular manufacturers will produce products will have a layer of floating color.
[1] Then fading color can be used to identify the scale of the towel?
Researchers at the China Textile Academy of Sciences tell us a simple way to use clean paper towels or POTS of water to identify bright colored towels before choosing them. The main reason for the failure of the towel is that the absorbency and color fastness are not up to standard. The towel with poor color fastness will obviously fade, but some regular products will simply have floating color. When choosing a towel, as long as the paper towel is rubbed several times on the selected towel, if the color is only slightly on the paper towel or not at all, the color fastness of the towel is very good and it is the product of quality inspection. On the contrary, the color on the paper towel is significant, and the towel is easy to fade, so the color fastness is relatively poor, and the quality is naturally discounted.
Sure, you can wash your towels in fresh water a few times after you buy them, but generally speaking, a good towel will only wash away some of the color the first time. If the color is lost every time, it is best not to wash your face with this quality towel, otherwise it is like washing your face with “chemical dye”. Over time, the damage to the skin is not small.
【2】 Sniff before choosing
Indeed, in the selection of colorful towels should also smell the taste of the towel, because, some inferior towel manufacturers use some prohibited dyes, and these dyes contain benzidine carcinogenic substances, will occur pungent breath. There are some inferior towels with a smell of fish and gasoline, which is not caused by storage or transportation, but caused by oil leakage of the manufacturer’s mechanical processing equipment, which is not in line with the hygiene standards, so good quality color towels should have no odor.
[3] Cotton towels are preferred
For a variety of textures of color towels, good water absorption, strong air permeability of pure cotton towels are the first choice for skin care. When choosing a cotton towel, first look at the light to see if the color of the towel is average and soft. If the color is too bright, it is doped with polyester or other fibers. At the same time, feel the softness of the towel with your hand. If it is uneven, hard stubble, or refreshing, it is not pure cotton. You can also pull out two pieces of cotton thread, such as arbitrary sound control crisp, that the quality is good, no crisp sound, that the quality is poor.
Poor quality cotton towel, often not 100% cotton, but doping a considerable proportion of chemical fibers, easy to pilling, used to wash face, obviously stimulate the skin, is to buy quality guaranteed cotton towel, still should go to the special shops or supermarkets to buy.
