70% Consumers Used Contaminated Towels

Recently, CCTV has revealed that there are significant safety problems in towels. It is reported that nearly 7 of consumers in China have used contaminated towels. In 3 months, towel bacteria will exceed 125 times. For a while, all the media were discussing the misunderstanding of Chinese consumers' towel usage and the awareness of the use of backward towels. In this regard, Yang Zhaohua, President of the China Household Textile Industry Association, said that towels are not necessary for daily life. When CCTV unveiled the reality that "most people don't use towels", we all stare at each other: do we need to talk about using towels?

In fact, towels are small, but in raw materials, materials, weight, color can not be less. According to experts, three key elements should be paid attention to when choosing towels. First, the product logo should be complete. Indicate the manufacturer, place of production, telephone, trademark, execution standard, etc. Secondly, the colors and patterns should be clear. The products are bright and colorful, with clear print and exquisite sewing. Finally, the handle should be fluffy, soft and absorbent.

In addition, towels have different usage groups because of their different characteristics. For example, people who are sensitive or sensitive to skin should choose towels with lower Terry and smaller density. Twisting process The towel feels soft and smooth, which is more suitable for female consumers. Men are quick in metabolism and suitable for towels with strong and strong absorbency. Cotton towels will harden after immersion in water and may damage delicate skin, so they are not suitable for children.

However, choose the right ones. Towel It's just the first step to use correctly, and it's equally important to develop the right towel usage. According to a survey conducted by the China Household Textile Industry Association, 52% of consumers did not know that they had to sterilize towels, while 80% of consumers used more than 9 months to replace towels. "Bad use habits such as one towel and many uses, one towel, several jobs, no breaking, no change" are common. It can be seen that many people have misuse of towels. In this way, bad usage habits provide convenience for cross infection of bacteria. Escherichia coli, anaerobic bacteria and other pathogens are not only easy to cause diarrhea, otitis media, oral infection and other diseases, but also make the skin long spot long pox, especially for the elderly with low resistance. Therefore, the China Household Textile Industry Association advocates consumers to regularly disinfect with microwave oven or use a pressure cooker to make towels, and make sure that they can change towels for 3 months.

　　 Yang Zhao Hua Since ancient times, frugality has been a traditional virtue of the Chinese people, especially when the elderly are reluctant to throw it away. When making towels consumption survey, some elderly consumers said that their own towels were estimated to have been in use for 2~3 years. They used to be relatively thick. They used to be very thin, and they did not absorb water very much. But because they were not bad, they did not change their new ones. Such consumption habits are often harmful to people's health because they are often used and easy to breed bacteria. Therefore, frugality is not a good thing.

In this regard, Yang Zhaohua said that in the towel hygiene problems and daily necessities health issues, the industry, the public and enterprises should work together to enhance the consumer's attention, and the Chinese Household Textile Industry Association released the "towel usage test report" is a positive attempt. Nowadays, the consumption concept of "toothbrush for 3 months" has been gradually accepted by ordinary consumers in China, and has greatly promoted the improvement of oral hygiene in China. The improvement of towel hygiene in China is also a public welfare undertaking, which is conducive to raising the level of health and health, and is related to the interests and well-being of the public. Public works need public participation. We hope this "towel fever" can continue, leading the public to change their health habits, improve their living standards and change their lifestyles.
