Survey Results Of Towel Use In China Textile Association

< p > China's per capita < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_s.asp" > towel consumption < /a > quantity is only 1/6 in Japan, and the 1/7--- lifestyle revolution in Europe and America starts from towel.

< p > summary: China is a large country of home textile production, but it is a low level towel consuming country.

China's per capita consumption of towels is only 300g, Japan is 6 times that of ours, and Europe and the United States are 7 times that of ours.

Long term reuse and the lack of proper disinfection methods make towels a "dirt trap" and threaten people's health.

< p > China has been frugal since ancient times.

In many homes, a towel is "a number of jobs" - wash your face, wipe your hands, shower, wash your hair, or even clean your private place.

At the same time, people are used to putting towels in the bathroom.

Humid environment plus dust in the air, skin fat and the invasion of external pathogens provide a hotbed for the growth of bacteria.

The use of such towels is worrying.

< p > recently, the results of the survey of towel used by the China Textile Association announced that the use of towels has been a wake-up call for Chinese people for several years.

The report shows that there is a serious misunderstanding in the consumption of Chinese a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_s.asp" > towel < /a > 65% of consumers do not know the correct way to use towels. 35% of consumers sometimes feel that there is a slight itch on the face but do not know whether it is a towel or not. Only a very small number of consumer towel usage habits are reasonable and correct, and can be healthy "towel".

The usage habit of "one towel and long use" and "one towel and multi use" make the average per capita consumption of Chinese towels is only 300g, far lower than that of 2300G in Japan and 1800g-2200g in Europe and America.

Low exposure is not only a concept of incorrect use of towels, but also exposes the huge health risks around us.

Official test of towel germs showed that there were many pathogenic bacteria in towels, which easily lead to various cross infection.

< p > at the same time, the report also summed up the correct way to use towels through multiple scientific experiments on towels.

1. towels should be dry.

After verification, the content of pathogenic bacteria in wet towels is significantly higher than that in dry towels.

E. coli, anaerobic bacteria, and even HIV can survive in wet towels for more than two days.

2. microwave oven towel disinfection, the highest sterilization rate.

Wash the towels and fold them in the microwave oven, and run for 5 minutes to achieve the purpose of disinfection.

Guo Yu, chief physician of the Department of Microbiology Laboratory of Peking University People's Hospital, pointed out in the interview that long term towels are easy to breed bacteria and fungi, including Staphylococcus, Enterobacteriaceae and mold, and other opportunistic pathogens. They are not only the main culprits of diarrhoea, otitis media, oral infection and other diseases, but also behind the scenes that make your skin long pox. Especially in those with low immunity, it is more likely to cause a variety of diseases.

"Because of this, we have been advocating that you change towels every 2 to 3 months, but there are actually few people in it."

Guo Yu emphasized.

Yang Zhaohua, President of China Textile Association, also said that in recent years, food safety has been paid attention to by consumers, but the safety of daily necessities has not been noticed.

With the increase of economic income, people's lifestyle has also changed, and the safety and safety of daily necessities that are closely related to people are neglected.

< p > WHO has summarized the factors affecting health, including 60% of lifestyle, 15% of genetic factors, 10% of social factors, 8% of medical factors, and 7% of climatic factors.

A healthy way of life is inseparable from cleaning. How to make cleanliness free from the two pollution is a problem everyone is facing.

The use of "one towel and multi use" by the Chinese people will spread all over the body from bacteria on hand, face, hair and towels. If pathogens enter sensitive parts such as mouth, nose and eyes, they may cause discomfort, especially for children and allergic people.

Therefore, experts have warned that towels must be divided according to their usage. Men have at least three articles. Wash their faces, wash their feet and wash towels separately. Women should prepare at least four items.

< /p >

< p > besides, selecting a suitable towel is also very important.

In the homage a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > textile < /a > consumer guide, the experts have given some methods: 1. towels should choose pure cotton materials with soft comfort and good water absorbency; 2. purchase according to the crowd.

Children should choose plain colored small scarves; those with delicate skin or easy allergies should recommend towels with low density and small density; men's metabolism is fast and suitable for towels with thick and large surface friction.

3. quality towels are soft, fluffy and elastic, with even loops, seamless edges, no odor, and inferior towels.
