Home textile products are one of the essential daily necessities in our daily life, but while you are enjoying them to bring you warm and comfortable, have you ever thought that they may have an impact on your health? In fact, because the home textile product is directly connected to the human body, once it is unqualified, it is allergic to light, and it can cause cancer. Of course, don't be too nervous about this issue. Because regular home textile products must be tested before they can be sold, but as consumers, how can we tell? Today we will tell you about the safety and testing of home textile products.
What are the main tests for home textile products?
Strictly speaking, the professional department has to test more than a dozen items for the sale of home textile products, but in daily life, our consumers mainly pay attention to several items: formaldehyde, PH value and color fastness, to reach the national standard GB18401-2010 qualified.
Consumers must first look at the certificate when purchasing home textile products, but also look at the incomplete items on the certificate. It depends on the product name, manufacturer address and telephone number, specifications, fabric composition, implementation standards, safety categories and washing labels. . Home textile products are disqualified, pilling, and easy to break.
National standard of home textile:
GB18401-2010C is indirectly in contact with the skin
GB18401-2010B is directly in contact with the skin
GB18401-2010A is an infant product
Ingredient content does not match or does not contain
These problems are more serious in towel quilts and quilts. In particular, many quilts claim to use four-hole, seven-hole, and nine-hole fibers as fillers, and most of the actual use is single-hole and ordinary fibers.
Excessive formaldehyde content
Formaldehyde is widely used as a reactant in various textile finishing auxiliaries, such as resin finishing agents, fixing agents, softeners, flame retardants, adhesives, and the like. Therefore, the textile processed by the above finishing agent will more or less retain formaldehyde, and once the free formaldehyde is released and reaches a certain amount, it will cause harm to the human body.
Partial product washing rate and dyeing fastness are unqualified
Relevant industry insiders also remind consumers that when choosing a quilt, both inside and outside must be considered, both to look at the face and to look at the filling material. First of all, we must look at the logo on the core. Any quilt produced by a regular manufacturer will be marked with a mark on the outer core package. The consumer can know from the mark that the core is filled, content, weight, plush grade, fabric composition, Information such as size, washing method, and execution standards. If the quilt sold does not have a certificate, it is best not to buy it.
According to the "National Textile Product Basic Safety Technical Specifications", the textile products listed after 2005 should be marked with categories. The baby products must be marked with the words "infant and child supplies" on the instructions for use, and other products should be on the instructions for use. Indicate the type of safety technology requirements that are met, otherwise it may not be listed for sale.
In addition, the “product ingredient content†in the signage is the authenticity mark of the product attribute, and is also the main choice content of the consumer's purchase of goods. The mandatory national standard clearly stipulates that the component content of the product is the content that must be marked, and the actual component and the labeled component. Must match.
Experts suggest that consumers should look at the contents of the label when buying home textile products, beware of the false labeling of the fiber content, and carefully purchase; if there is doubt, you can ask the salesperson to produce the test report of the product; if you find it during the consumption process, If there is a false labeling phenomenon of fiber content, it is necessary to pay attention to retain relevant evidence and actively negotiate with the merchants. At the same time, it may complain to the Consumer Council and relevant administrative departments and report it.
Of course, if you want to buy quality textile products, it is not enough to look at the signage information, but also the actual quality of the products.
First look at the fabric. First of all, the quality of the fabric should be checked for the quality of the fabric. The quality of the fabric depends first on the thickness and density of the yarn. The higher the density of the fabric, the better the quality of the cotton. The softer the feel, the more lustrous, and the production. The higher the process requirements. Pay attention to printing and dyeing, good quality products, good pattern printing, no color difference, dirt, discoloration.
Next look at the filler. This is an important part of the hygiene protection and warmth, breathability and durability of home textile products. Such as wool, down and cotton, no impurities, no odor; and fake and inferior products are mixed with inferior chemical fiber, or the use of ordinary acrylic cotton, the hand feels uneven, not soft, poor fluffiness, poor gas permeability.
The third is to look at the processing technology. Regular factory workmanship is exquisite, smooth, and has no pinholes. The flat stitching stitch length is generally 10-12 needles/3cm. Pay attention to the integrity and consistency of the pattern. For example, the pattern on the left and right sides of the seam is symmetrical, the face and the lining are not reversed, and the stripes and the grid are symmetrical and opposite.
