Bamboo fiber dishcloth can be real or fake, it's scary. I'll teach you how to distinguish it
Say it: Bamboo fiber is truly soft and comfortable, antibacterial and deodorizing, moisture absorbing and breathable, degreasing, and easy to clean. So dishwashing towels made of bamboo fiber also have such characteristics.
So, how do you distinguish bamboo fiber dishwashing towels?
Firstly, let's talk about several popular dishwashing towels and dishwashing cloths that you may buy on the market.
1. Pure cotton dishwashing towels (white, some with colored edges and stripes, some hard after packaging, soft after water, usually unfolded relatively large);
2. Bamboo fiber dishwashing towel (available in white, color, and colored stripes. It is smaller in size than kapok dishwashing towel, but usually has a double layer, smooth surface, and a brush like fiber ring. Also known as Korean dishwashing towel, as for whether it is Korean technology, it is not investigated);
3. Fake bamboo fiber dishwashing towel (similar in shape or above, not to mention);
4. Other materials (such as sponge like, loofah, etc.). Compared with pure cotton (which can be purchased in supermarkets with 8-layer filters, 16-layer filters, and several layers of penetration, commonly referred to as dishwashing towels made of original mask fabric by our industry), its advantage is that it is relatively large, and perhaps the larger the Chinese like, the better. The price is low and it has been around for a long time. (I also went to the market specifically to verify this item. It is said that it was originally sold from textile factories in the Yanbian area of Jilin Province and became popular throughout the country. However, it gradually declined due to serious adulteration, which dealt a great blow. I also went to the Yanbian factory specifically to inspect it, and the factory manager was also troubled by it. Let's take a look at this.) Now, it is sold better in major supermarkets, and the price is not too high. The pure cotton dishwashing cloth is actually relatively poor from a hygiene perspective, and it is very easy to breed bacteria. CCTV3 or CCTV7, I forgot a bit. After watching one program, it was shocking, and we used bacteria to wash every day. Interested parties can search for it. So the antibacterial and antibacterial properties of bamboo fiber, as well as its non stick oil properties, are gradually replacing its market in dishwashing towels. I won't say more about this for now. Let's mainly talk about real and fake bamboo fibers. If it is 100% bamboo fiber, it is easy to clean and does not adsorb oil stains, which is much worse than fake ones. Most of the fake ones are a mixture of wood fiber and polyester. The following experiment can be conducted: after wetting the fabric, drop edible oil on it, and then gently wash it in water without using any washing products. The pure bamboo fiber fabric can be used to clean it, and vice versa, it contains other ingredients.
Specific identification:
1. Look at the color. High quality bamboo fiber products have a bright appearance and will not easily fade or discolor due to factors such as water washing and sun exposure. The color of wood imitation is dull or has obvious color differences, or is easily discolored and discolored. This should be noted that pure bamboo fibers will never be pure white, and the purer the white, the more problematic it is.
2. Look at the shrinkage. Poor quality bamboo fiber products will shrink significantly after washing, resulting in a significant reduction in appearance deformation and size.
3. Look at the workmanship. Most poor bamboo fiber products are not finely crafted, with obvious seams and frequent occurrences of jumper and broken wires.
4. Smell the odor. Poor bamboo fiber products often use chemical additives to increase the appearance quality of the product, but it is inevitable to leave a taste of chemical solution. Have you tried washing dishes with sulfur dioxide?
5. Identify the touch. The high content of bamboo fiber in the product can make it very delicate and smooth to the touch, while on the contrary, it can feel rough, astringent or greasy to the touch.
6. Look at the ashes. There is no black smoke when extracting silk thread from good bamboo fiber products and no ash after combustion. Poor bamboo fiber products often produce smoke when silk threads burn, leaving behind gray and black ashes after combustion. Recommendation.
7. Look for breathability. Spread a piece of bamboo fiber product fabric to cover your mouth and breathe, feeling its breathability. The high-quality ones have even and smooth ventilation.
