How To Identify Whether Home Textile Products Are Safe?

Strictly speaking, professional departments have to detect more than ten items for home textile products sold, but in daily life, we consumers pay attention to several items: formaldehyde, pH value and color fastness, and it is qualified to reach the GB18401-2010 national standard.

　　 Consumer When buying home textile products, you need to see the certificate first, and the items above are all incomplete. It depends on the name of the above certificate, the address and telephone number of the manufacturer, the specification, the fabric composition, the execution standard, the safety category and the washing label. Home textiles products fade, pilling, easy to break are unqualified products.

　 National standard for home textiles:

Class GB18401-2010C is not directly related to skin.

Class GB18401-2010B is directly exposed to skin.

Category GB18401-2010A is infant products.

The content of ingredients is inconsistent or not marked.

These problems are more serious in towel quilts and quilts. In particular, many quilts claim to use four holes, seven holes and nine hole fibers as filling materials. Most of the practical uses are single holes and ordinary fibers.

　　 formaldehyde Content exceeding standard

Formaldehyde as a reactant is widely used in various textile finishing auxiliaries, such as resin finishing agents, fixing agents, softeners, flame retardants, adhesives and so on. Therefore, the textiles processed by the above finishing agents will more or less remain formaldehyde. Once these free formaldehyde is released and reaches a certain value, it will cause harm to the human body.

The washing rate and color fastness of some products are not qualified.

The relevant industry also reminds consumers that when choosing quilts, they should consider both inside and outside, not only for quilt cover, but also for filling materials. First of all, we need to see the logo on the core. All the quilts produced by the regular manufacturers will be stitched on the outer package of the core. The consumers can get information about the filling, content, weight, plush grade, fabric composition, size, washing method, execution standard and so on. If the quilt is sold without a certificate, it is best not to buy it.

According to the national basic safety technical specification for textile products, the categories of textile products listed after 2005 should be marked. The infant products must be marked with "baby products" on the instructions, while the other products should be marked on the instructions for safety technical requirements, otherwise they will not be listed for sale.

In addition, the "product composition content" in the sign is the truthfulness symbol of the product attribute, and is also the main choice content of the consumer purchase commodities. The mandatory national standard stipulates that the content of the product is the content that must be tagged, and the actual component must be consistent with the tagging component.

　　 expert It is suggested that consumers should clearly see the contents of the label labels when buying home textiles products, be careful of the false labels of fiber contents, and carefully select them; when in doubt, they may ask the salesmen to produce the inspection reports of the products; if there is a false annotation of fiber contents in the consumption process, we should keep relevant evidence well, actively consult with the merchants, and complain and report to the Consumer Council and the relevant administrative departments at the same time.

Of course, if you want to buy quality textile products, it is not enough to look at the signs only, but also the actual quality of the products.

First look at the fabric. The quality of fabric should first be checked for the purchase of home textiles. The quality of the fabric first lies in the thickness and density of the yarn. The higher the density of the cloth, the better the quality of the cotton, the softer the hand and the more luster it is, and the higher the production process requirement. Attention to printing and dyeing, good quality products, flower type printing and dyeing is better, no color difference, dirty, decolorization.

Next, look at the filling. This is an important part of health protection, warmth retention, breathability and durability of home textiles. Such as wool, down and cotton, no impurities, no smell; and fake and inferior products are made of inferior chemical fiber mixed with broken bits, or with general acrylic cotton. The handle is not smooth, soft, poor in fluffiness and poor in air permeability.

Third, look at the processing technology. Regular factories are exquisite in workmanship, smooth and without needle holes. The stitching distance between flat joints is usually 10-12 needles /3cm. Attention should be paid to the integrity and consistency of the patterns, such as the symmetry of the right and left sides of the joint, the appearance of the face and the inner flower pattern are not reversed.
