It is more important to buy home textiles.
Buy curtains to prevent formaldehyde
According to investigations by authoritative organizations, formaldehyde, which has been identified as a class of carcinogens by the World Health Organization, has become the main pollutant in the newly renovated homes in China. More than 60% of the newly renovated households in the indoor environment have exceeded the national control standards. However, most consumers only know that formaldehyde comes from wood-based panels, laminate flooring or furniture used in home decoration, but they do not know the decorative fabrics, curtains and fabric furniture commonly used in interior decoration, which will also cause formaldehyde pollution in the indoor environment.
The safety quality of curtains currently on the market is too low? In response to the current situation of consumers often purchasing in the curtain city, the reporter recently commissioned the China Indoor Decoration Association Indoor Environmental Monitoring Center to conduct a comparative experiment on some of the curtains sold in the market. The results show that some samples have a certain amount of samples. formaldehyde. Moreover, the samples taken in this experiment are all samples that have been sold in the market and exposed to the air for a certain period of time, and formaldehyde is still found, which should attract the attention of consumers.
Experts from the Indoor Environment Monitoring Center of the China Interior Decoration Association remind consumers:
Pay attention when buying curtain fabrics:
1. Smell the smell. If the product emits a pungent odor, there may be formaldehyde residues, it is best not to buy;
2, pick flowers. When selecting colors, it is advisable to purchase light colors, so the risk of formaldehyde and dyeing fastness is lower;
3. Look at the variety. Be cautious when purchasing fabrics and curtains that are anti-shrink, anti-wrinkle, soft, flat, etc., pay attention to whether the fabric label indicates formaldehyde content.
In addition, pay attention to when using:
1. The curtains purchased should be fully soaked and washed in clean water to reduce the formaldehyde content remaining on the fabric;
2, some sheets, quilts and other textiles that are in direct contact with the skin also contain formaldehyde, which must be washed after use;
3. If you have the condition, you can hang the curtain cloth in the outdoor ventilation place after washing, and then use it again.
4, if there are more windows in the room, you can choose curtains of different materials, such as blinds, roller blinds, etc.;
5, you can also buy green plants such as spider plants, placed on the window sill can effectively absorb the formaldehyde released by curtains, etc., fully purify the air.
Towel selection should pay attention
When choosing a towel, you should choose a fluffy, soft-feeling towel. Towels with high and high terry have good water absorption and water storage properties. Due to the layer of looped loops covered by the fabric surface, the height of the loop is closely related to the quality of the towel. Under the same conditions, the fabric has many loops and has a long service life.
At the same time, it should be noted that the towel should not be dry and hard to avoid skin damage. In general, quality towels are softer, fluffy and elastic. In addition, the family can also do some quality identification when using the towel. For example, the water droplets dropped on the new towel can be quickly absorbed, indicating that the towel has good water absorption, and the high-quality towel has elasticity and friction when used, and the water does not fade. Inferior towels have poor water absorption, are loose, inelastic, and slippery when used. They are severely discolored when in the water, and are more irritating to the skin and eyes. And, as far as possible, choose pure cotton products, the color is suitable for light and medium colors. Consumers can use the "burn" method to identify whether the selected towel is pure cotton. A wire can be taken from the towel and burned with fire. If the residue is hard spherical, it is not a pure cotton towel.
Bedding identification tips
1, look at the sheets
Look at the minimum size of the sheet in the description of the product. If the sheet is 230*250, then the width of the fabric used is 90% wider than 230 sheets (compared to 250 width), which is also made with 250 widths. For 230+250 sheets, manufacturers do this to save costs.
In addition, ask the seller whether the size reported is the size of the blank or the size of the finished product.
2, look at the pillowcase
The size of the national standard pillowcase is 48*74 (inside diameter). In some product descriptions, the pillowcase size is 50*80, which is vague. In fact, 50*80 is the outer diameter size, and the inner diameter is only 40*70. Although this size will save costs, the high-grade pillow core will not be installed. Go in.
3, look at the quilt cover
Most of the quilt size is marked as 200*230. Buyers must consult the seller before purchasing. Ask if the 200*230 is the finished size or the size after shrinking (because the cotton fabric has more or less shrinkage). ). In addition, it is necessary to ask whether there is a fixed rope tied to the core in the seller's quilt. If there is no fixed rope, you must manually fix the rope on the quilt cover after you buy the quilt cover, so as not to be smashed by the core during use. Into a group.
4, see the width
99% of the width of the 250cm door is a high-grade fabric, and some 230cm wide is also a high-grade fabric (active combing), but the future 230cm wide width of the fabric will no longer be produced! If the size of the sheet of the kit is 230*250cm (this is to save some cost), you should consult the seller if it is 250*250cm, is it a unique one, is there no seam, if it is, you can buy it with confidence. !
5, look at the bed cover
The reason why the general bed cover is more beautiful than the bed sheet is mainly on the skirt. The beauty of the skirt is mainly the density of the folding of the tweezers. The amount of the general bed cover discount is calculated as follows: if a 1.5 m * 2.0 m bed cover, it The total length of the skirt should be (1.5 + 2.0 + 2.0) * 2 = 11 meters. The total length of the bedspread skirts of some small manufacturers is only 7 meters. Imagine how beautiful such bedspreads will be?
