With the improvement of people's living standards, the pursuit of quality of life is getting higher and higher, and silk quilts are loved by consumers because of their warm, breathable and soft characteristics. However, in the market, the quality of silk quilts is uneven, and some unscrupulous merchants deceive consumers with fake and shoddy products. In order for everyone to buy authentic silk quilts, this article will teach you how to identify real and fake silk quilts.
1. Observe the appearance.
1.Color: The color of high-quality silk quilt is natural, milky white or pearl color, the overall color is consistent, and there is no obvious color difference. Inferior silk quilts tend to be darker in color and may have problems such as bleaching and dyeing.
2.Fibers: The fibers of authentic silk quilts are slender, uniform, and spiral-shaped. You can feel the smoothness of silk when you touch it with your hands. The fibers of counterfeit silk quilts are short and rough to the touch.
3.Impurities: There are few impurities in high-quality silk quilts and are almost invisible. Inferior silk quilts may contain more impurities, such as dander, hair, etc.
2. Smell the smell.
Authentic silk quilts are strictly sterilized during the production process, and there is almost no peculiar smell. If you smell musty, sour, chemicals, etc., it means that there may be a quality problem with the quilt.
3. Check the label.
When buying a silk quilt, you should carefully check the product label to understand its composition, content, manufacturer and other information. According to the relevant regulations of our country, the type and content of silk (such as mulberry silk, tussah silk, etc.) should be clearly marked on the label of silk quilt. If the label information is not clear, there may be false advertising or shoddy products.
Fourth, combustion experiments.
Take a handful of silk and burn it over a fire. When authentic silk is burned, it has the smell of burning, the burning speed is slow, and the ashes are small black balls, which are easy to crush. When counterfeit silk is burned, it has the smell of chemicals, and the burning speed is relatively fast, and the ashes are in the form of white powder.
Fifth, the feel experience.
The feel of a silk quilt is an important aspect of distinguishing the real from the fake. The authentic silk quilt is light and soft, and you can feel the lightness of the silk when you cover it. The counterfeit silk quilt feels heavier and has a sense of pressure on the body.
6. Air permeability test.
Cover the silk quilt over a cup of hot water and observe whether the steam can penetrate the quilt. Authentic silk quilts have good air permeability, and steam can pass through the quilt. Counterfeit silk quilts have poor air permeability and are difficult for steam to penetrate.
In short, when buying silk quilts, consumers should identify them from many aspects such as appearance, smell, label, combustion experiment, feel and air permeability. At the same time, it is necessary to choose formal channels to purchase and avoid buying counterfeit and shoddy products. I hope these methods can help you buy a satisfactory silk quilt and spend a warm winter.
