[China Towel Industry Network] Towel Knowledge
The world's first towel was born in 1850, the birthplace of the United Kingdom, has a history of more than 150 years. From the original simplest flat hair towel to the current satin jacquard, printing, flawless towels, cut velvet towels and so on. It is the textile product with the shortest development time and the fastest development. Below, we will briefly introduce the concept and use of towel products, as well as some small knowledge about the correct use and purchase of towels, so that everyone can be more in-depth on the "good friends" we can't live in in our daily life. understanding.
The basic concept of a towel is a fabric with a loop structure made up of three system yarns intertwined. The yarns of these three systems are the hair, the ground and the weft. With the development of science and technology, warp-knitted fabrics have emerged. These towel terry are firmly fixed, but the form is relatively simple. Most of the market is woven towels.
The classification and use of towels are generally divided into two types for households and hotels depending on the place of use.
Household towel products are our closest, more color, more styles, more personalized; hotel towel products mainly include face towels, square towels, bath towels, bathrobes, floor mats, etc., generally plain or White, thick and practical, due to the need for frequent high temperature disinfection, washing, the quality of the product is higher, the raw materials used are generally first-class combed fine cotton or long-staple cotton.
Tobacco products related regulations and standards and towels directly related to the regulatory standards mainly GB18401-2003 national textile products basic safety technical specifications and industry standards FZ/T62006-2004. The former is a mandatory standard and was implemented on January 1, 2006; the latter is a recommended standard.
Oeko-Texstandard100, a European eco-textile standard, has been promoted to the world.
The correct use and storage methods of towels are special for special use and special towels: towels are easy to cause cross-infection. It is recommended that individuals use them separately and configure towel products for different purposes as needed.
Correct washing and regular disinfection: Towels are often prone to breeding harmful microorganisms, mites and other microorganisms because they are often in a damp state, which is harmful to our body. Therefore, we should always wash, sun or UV disinfect and store them properly. Pay attention to the washing method when washing (see page 36). Hang in a dry and ventilated place when drying, naturally dry or hot air drying. Avoid the sweat residue of the human body, make the towel brittle; avoid the surface oil and dandruff residue, breed bacteria, make the towel smell and sticky.

Consumers should replace them according to the time of use. It is recommended to replace them once every three months, and replace them in two months. once.
Towel Care Common sense When washing cotton towels, avoid overheating of water and drying for a long time. When drying, the internal tumble drying can make the cotton towel more fluffy and soft, and hanging and drying can not achieve this effect. It is best not to expose it to sunlight or to force it to dry with an ultra-high temperature heat source.
Use a small amount of detergent to make the towel softer. Avoid dumping the detergent directly onto the towel, otherwise the detergent residue will cause the towel to harden and minimize chlorine bleach.
Fabric softeners should not be used frequently, as it will affect the water absorption of the towel. Wash dark towels and light colors separately. Avoid washing towels with clothes that contain zippers, hooks, or buttons that can damage the towel loops. Do not wash the towels and clothing together. The terry fabric will wrap the light and soft fabrics inside.
The number of washings affects the use time of the towel, and the less the number of washings, the longer the towel is used.
Moist towels and other bacteria can be caused by placing wet towels for too long or not drying for long periods of time. When the mildewed towel is dried, the fiber will be brittle and quickly rupture.
After the towel is used for a period of time, due to the combination of free calcium and magnesium ions in the water and soap, the calcium magnesium soap adheres to the surface of the towel, making the towel hard. How to make the towel soft and have a trick, in the water of about 3 kg Add 20 grams of soda ash or a suitable softener for 10 minutes, then rinse with warm water and cold water several times.
Some people who love oil, the towels are often greasy, slippery, and the effect is not very good after washing many times, it is very troublesome. It is recommended to soak it in concentrated brine and rinse it with water to make the towel fresh. Towel disinfection method:
Cooking method: first boil the towel with boiled water for about 10 minutes, then wash and dry.
Steam method: Put the towel into the pressure cooker, heat it for about 30 minutes, then wash and dry.
Disinfectant method: You can choose to dilute 200 times of cleaning disinfectant or 0.1% chlorhexidine, soak the towel in it for more than 15 minutes, then take out the towel and wash it with water, and dry it.
How to choose a high quality towel product
To buy towels in regular stores: regular shopping malls, supermarkets or specialty stores have strict inspection and approval procedures, and the products are basically produced by regular manufacturers.
Choose a more credible brand: This brand has a good reputation and social responsibility, through various certification systems, can guarantee the inherent quality of the product.
Purchase of well-marked towels: regular towel products have a clear identification on their products, indicating the manufacturer, origin, telephone, trademark, implementation standards, washing methods, etc.
Look at the appearance: good towel color is soft and bright, natural luster, clear pattern; fine terry and less hairiness, regular; fine workmanship, short thread, no flaws, fine sewing.
Touch feeling: soft to the touch, fluffy and dense terry, elastic body and good water absorption.
Smell smell: The qualified towel smells fresh and natural, and the product has no odor. In the process of purchasing towel products, you must correctly understand the product feel and color fastness.
The real feel is that the cotton wool itself is soft, it feels good, fluffy and elastic, and it is different from the slippery, slippery is caused by adding too much softener. A small amount of softener has a sense of help, and too much softener not only affects water absorption, but also is not good for our health. Softeners can block the tiny pores of our skin and affect metabolism. In addition, inferior softeners also contain harmful substances, which are harmful to health.
Pure cotton towels are generally dyed with reactive dyes, and the dye molecules are covalently bonded to the cellulose molecules to immobilize the dye on the fibers. During the reaction, some of the dyes are combined with the fibers, and some of the dyes are hydrolyzed and adsorbed on the surface of the fibers, but they do not covalently bond and are easily peeled off. When dyed dark towels, a large amount of hydrolyzed dye is adsorbed on the fibers, which is difficult to wash, so there is discoloration during the initial washing, which is unavoidable. If the light-colored towel is washed for a large amount of color for the first time or the dark towel is still washed after repeated washing, the dye is unqualified or the dyeing process is inaccurate, which is an unqualified product.
The development trend of towels
The product quality requirements are getting better and better. Green safety and environmental protection towel products are daily necessities that are in direct contact with the human body. Its quality will directly affect our health, especially the baby is more susceptible. Towels are generally pure cotton products. In the production process, they are generally subjected to chemical processing such as bleaching, dyeing and softening. Naturally, some chemical substances are brought to the towels. If these chemicals exceed the national requirements, the "National Textile Products Basic Safety Technology" The standard "GB18401-2003 standard requirements, it will have greater harm to the human body, such as excessive pH, formaldehyde content exceeding the standard, and carcinogenic dyes, so we must pay attention to whether the towel meets the above requirements when using towels. This tells us to buy a good quality towel. Generally speaking, the manufacturer has passed the ISO14000 environmental system certification, and the products have passed the Oeko-Texstandard100 standard certification, which meets the above requirements. The practicality of the product should be strong. The practicality of the towel product is mainly manifested in soft touch, strong water absorption, less hairiness and durability. High-grade towels such as flawless towels, cut velvet towels, and high-spiral spiral towels are typical examples. Products should have functional towel products, mainly antibacterial sterilization function, easy to wash and dry function, infrared health function, negative oxygen ion function, self-cleaning function, fragrance function, nutritional function (vitamin), etc. The price is high, we have to spend it reasonably. The towels in this area mainly include chitin composite fiber towel, bamboo fiber towel, microfiber towel, Lisai fiber towel, bamboo carbon fiber and the like. The product is decorative and beautiful. The towel is very decorative, which can be used to decorate the home and beautify the life.
These types of towels are mainly characterized by beautiful color patterns, various laces, and beautiful embroidery. When choosing a towel, we should consider the color, pattern, etc. of the home to make it coordinated. The color should conform to the current popular color in 2008. The home textile products are mainly popular with soft beige, clear sky blue, goose green, egg yolk, noble and romantic purple, mature camel, brown, dark blue, wine red, sexy orange and so on.

Introduction to Several Kinds of Towel Products Using New Materials Chitin is a special type of cellulose that is also a rare, positively charged alkaline polysaccharide in nature. Chitin is widely found in the outer shells of insects, aquatic crustaceans, and the cell walls of fungi and algae. The annual biosynthesis of chitin on the earth is more than 10 billion tons, which is the second most abundant plant fiber. Rich organic renewable resources. Chitin is non-toxic and non-irritating. It is a very safe material for the body. It has the functions of antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, hemostasis, analgesia, and wound healing. It can also improve human immunity and is widely used in medical and health care. , textile and other industries. Chitin fiber towel products have unparalleled safety, good moisture absorption and long-lasting softness; maintain human skin micro-ecological balance, have the ability to promote wound healing, anti-inflammatory, improve human immunity; have long-lasting selectivity Antibacterial and antibacterial properties; capable of natural degradation in nature, is a typical green product, most suitable for maternal and child use.
Bamboo fiber Bamboo fiber is a natural, green and environmentally friendly new textile material processed from widely grown bamboo. Bamboo fiber towel products have good moisture absorption, moisture release and breathability, and have natural antibacterial, antibacterial, anti-odor and anti-UV functions. The dyeing is bright, the hand feels soft, the skin is good, and the hand feels better than cotton after repeated washing. Lisai Fibers is a green product produced by the special technology of POLYNOSIC, which is made from renewable alpine coniferous pine wood. Lisai fiber towel products have good dry and wet modulus, good strength (including wet strength), natural luster and good skin-friendly properties. Soft to the touch, good elasticity, good moisture absorption and moisture release. The fiber does not affect the environment from production, use, and disposal. The modal fiber modal fiber raw material is taken from the circulating growth of eucalyptus, which is naturally degradable and is the most recognized green fiber. Modal fiber towel products are soft to the touch, strong in water absorption, colorful, and remain soft for many washes and are durable. Viscose fiber viscose fiber is also called rayon, ice silk, viscose filament. Viscose is a cellulose fiber produced from cotton or other natural fibers and is the most common regenerated cellulose fiber. It is widely used in textile production because of its wide range of materials and moderate price. Viscose fiber towel products have good water absorption, soft handfeel, bright color and natural degradation, but the disadvantage is that the production has slight pollution, low strength after wet, and is not resistant to use. Corn fiber corn fiber is made from corn as raw material. After fermentation, polylactic acid is extracted and then polymerized and spun. It is the only fiber that has the properties of synthetic fiber (chemical fiber) and can be naturally degraded.
Corn fiber products are characterized by good softness, long-lasting durability, superior moisture absorption and desorption and warmth retention, easy washing, good flame retardant properties, and inhibition of bacterial growth. The ultrafine fibers commonly found in microfibers are generally polyester/nylon composite fibers. Microfiber towel products are soft to the touch, have super absorbent water storage capacity, and have strong decontamination ability. They are generally used for cleaning high-grade optical instruments, and can also be used as beauty towels to remove deep dirt from the skin. However, the disadvantage is that it cannot be naturally degraded and discarded and polluted. Bamboo carbon fiber bamboo carbon fiber is a new type of environmentally-friendly green fiber processed on the surface of the fiber coated with a pure natural ultra-fine bamboo carbon additive. The bamboo carbon fiber towel product has superior adsorption capacity, especially for harmful substances such as formaldehyde. It is better and has a deodorizing effect. It is rich in minerals such as potassium and sodium and has health care functions.
