August 18, 2020

According to statistics, one third of a person's life is spent in sleep, and more sleep time for young children. Therefore, whether it is sleeping or playing, the family is the place where the children stay the most, so the quality of home textiles is essential for the health and growth of children.

Home textiles (home textiles) are all textile products used or coated in the home life. Can be divided into: bedding, such as quilt, quilt cover, sheets, pillows, pillowcases, mosquito nets, mats, etc.; hanging textiles, such as curtains, enamel, etc.; covering coated textiles, such as sofa covers, tablecloths, tablecloths, etc.; Textiles, such as window coverings, wall decorations, etc.; daily-use textiles, such as towels, handkerchiefs, bath towels (robes), napkins (skirts), etc.

Because children and young children do not have awareness or awareness of quality and safety, this article explains how parents choose the right home textile for their children from four aspects: product quality safety, comfort, design and label.

Product quality and safety means that the intrinsic quality of home textile products (such as formaldehyde, carcinogenic dyes, dyeing fastness, plasticizers, etc.) must meet the standard requirements. Unqualified products can cause great harm to children and young children.

The direct cause of the unqualified pH value is that the fabric manufacturer uses a large amount of acidic or alkaline substances in the dyeing and finishing process, and does not adopt a reasonable neutralization treatment process, resulting in a pH value exceeding the standard. Because the human skin is weakly acidic, and the skin of the child is tender, the ability to resist bacteria is weak. Therefore, the main hazard of excessive pH is that it may damage the skin's pH balance and cause skin irritation or infection. Therefore, it is best to wash the bedding and daily-use textiles that are bought back first to dilute the pH value of the acid and base.

The color fastness is related to textile dyes. In the process of using home textile products with poor dye fastness, the dyes are easy to fall off and fade, especially dark products, which affect the appearance, and the dye molecules or heavy metal ions that are shed may be passed through the skin. Absorbed and endangered health. In addition, the ban of azo dyes is also associated with dyes, which are potentially dangerous to human health and safety, can cause human disease and induce cancer. Therefore, the home textile products (bedding and daily textiles) that are bought back should be washed one or two times, regardless of the shade, to wash away the excess floating color. However, it should be noted that the banned azo dye can not be removed anyway, it is recommended to check the merchant report when purchasing.

Formaldehyde is a colorless, highly irritating odor that is a volatile substance that is readily soluble in water, alcohols and ethers and is currently identified by the World Health Organization as a carcinogenic and teratogenic substance. Formaldehyde is generally used as a common cross-linking agent for resin finishing in the finishing process of pure cotton, pure silk or blended products, so that the fabric has good functions of anti-wrinkle, shrink-proof, ironing-free and easy to decontaminate. In addition, formaldehyde is added to the auxiliaries in order to maintain the durability of the printing, the durability of the dyeing, and the improvement of the hand. For children or young children, they spend more time indoors or in bed, so the home textiles that are arranged in children's rooms should be well ventilated, while bedding and daily textiles should be minimized. With anti-wrinkle, anti-shrinking, ironing-free functions, or richly printed products, it is possible to choose plain and light-colored products. When you need to buy, you should let the merchant issue a qualified report.

Phthalates are esterified derivatives of phthalic acid. They are also known as plasticizers. They are carcinogenic and cause damage to the body's hormonal system and cause damage to the child's reproductive system. . It is mainly used as the most commonly used plasticizer for soft PVC materials such as PVC coated fabrics, PVC films, and elastic foams. In the textile industry, plasticizers are mainly involved in finishing and printing. In general, the fabric is finished with a finishing agent and contains a very low content of plasticizer, which is basically harmless to the human body. In order to improve the hand feeling, or reduce the pattern in the cooking and drying time, and keep the pattern bright and long-lasting, a small amount of plasticizer is often added in the polyvinyl chloride type paint printing process, and the dosage can reach 40% to 50%. In addition, some home textile products with plastic spikes or plastic accessories will also contain plasticizers. Under normal conditions of use, these products release phthalate plasticizers, which release phthalates when children or infants chew on fun or subconsciously put their hands on the mouth. Plasticizers can cause serious damage to children through the mouth. Therefore, when purchasing home textiles, products with PVC, PU material and large-area printing should be avoided. For example, PVC table cloth can not be selected for convenient washing, and bedding with plastic accessories cannot be selected because of good looks.

Odor, textiles and garments in the production and processing more or less to introduce some odorous substances, these odors are produced from the chemical finishing agents and additives used in processing and the odor in the environment adsorbed in storage and transportation, some of which are odor The health of the human body is harmful, such as musty, high boiling oil (such as gasoline, kerosene), fishy smell and aromatic hydrocarbon flavor. Therefore, when you buy, you should open the bag and carefully smell whether you have these or other flavors to avoid harming your child's health.
