Six simple ways to choose good towels

Towels can be said to be something that we all often use in our daily lives, so how do we choose a good towel when choosing a towel? The following six methods can help you choose a good towel! 

01. Look - look at the appearance

As long as the materials are used carefully and the craftsmanship is perfect, it will look beautiful, whether it is a printed or plain towel. Good towels generally have good texture and clear patterns on the towels.

02. Smell - smell the smell

A good towel will not have a peculiar smell. If you can smell the smell of candles or ammonia, it means that there is too much softener in the towel; if there is a sour smell, the pH value may exceed the standard; if there is a pungent smell, it means that a color fixing agent containing formaldehyde is used. , and separate some formaldehyde. These ingredients are harmful to the human body, so it is recommended that you do not buy towel products with a large amount of these ingredients.

03. Soak - soak in water to see the color fastness

Good towels generally use reactive dyes. When dark towels are dyed, a large amount of hydrolyzed dyes are adsorbed on the fibers, which is difficult to wash, so they will discolor in the first wash. However, it should be noted that if light-colored towels fade too much in the first wash, Or if the dark towel still fades after being washed many times, then the dyeing is not up to standard.

04. Touch - see the feeling of touch

A good towel is fluffy and soft. This kind of towel feels elastic and soft to use, but not slippery. Slipperiness is due to the addition of too much softener. Too much softener not only affects the absorption of water, but is also detrimental to our health.

05. Drop - drip test

If you put a drop of water on a towel, a good towel will absorb it quickly. However, a towel with poor texture will form impermeable water droplets, indicating that there is too much softener in the towel.

06. Select-Choose a brand

When it comes to product selection, it is very safe to choose a strong brand to buy. Because some companies have gradually accumulated a certain degree of popularity and reputation, if you are not sure which towel to choose, you can first outline a few brands, and then understand their reputation before making a decision.
