Towels are cleaning products that we use every day, and they need to be wiped after being soaked with water**, so towels are in a damp state in most cases, which is easy to breed bacteria and cause damage to human skin.

What is an antibacterial towel?

Towels are very common to breed bacteria, how to solve the problem is a big problem, for this situation, antibacterial towels may be a better choice. Compared with ordinary towels, antibacterial towels have a better ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria. In order to make it easier for consumers to buy antibacterial towels that meet the quality standards, the Shenzhen Municipal Consumer Council recently carried out a comparative test on antibacterial towel products on the market.

The test results showed that the inhibition effect of the antibacterial towel samples on the market against common harmful bacteria reached the standard, and the measured antibacterial rate reached more than 90%.

Wet towels are a breeding ground for bacteria, and if you don't pay attention to them when you use them, these towels full of bacteria may cause allergies and inflammation, which not only does not have a cleaning effect, but also brings trouble. The reason why ordinary towels are easy to breed bacteria is mainly because the towel fibers can absorb a lot of water, and the gaps between the filament fibers are easy to leave oil, sweat and stains due to the unclean cleaning, which can easily cause a large number of bacteria to multiply.

Due to the particularity of the material, antibacterial towels can either dry quickly and lose moisture, reduce the living environment of bacteria, or can continuously release antibacterial substances to prevent the growth of bacteria. At present, antibacterial towels generally have the following types: one is the use of natural fibers, metal fibers have their own antibacterial properties, such as kapok fiber, hemp fiber, bamboo fiber and other natural phenolic substances, which have antibacterial properties. The second is to use antibacterial additives to sort out antibacterial substances to the fabric through dipping, impregnation, coating, spraying and other methods, so that the towel has a certain antibacterial property, but the antibacterial substances will be washed off during use, so the life of the antibacterial towel treated in this treatment is shorter. The third is to modify the inside or exterior of the fiber, and graft antibacterial substances such as antibacterial groups to the surface of the fiber to obtain long-lasting antibacterial ability.

In addition to the basic appearance quality and internal quality, the domestic quality requirements for antibacterial towels also need to make requirements for product safety and antibacterial effect.

Security requirements.

Antimicrobial effect.

Consumers can distinguish the antibacterial level of antibacterial towels through the identification information when purchasing, and the higher the level, the better the effect. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to replacing the towel after a period of time, because whether it is a natural fiber or an antibacterial towel with antibacterial agents, long-term use will irreversibly damage the antibacterial agent and antibacterial fiber, resulting in a decline in antibacterial effect and eventually losing the antibacterial effect; After finding that the towel gradually hardens or even mildew spots appear during use, it should be replaced immediately to ensure personal cleanliness and hygiene.
