On the 13th, our reporter and experts from the Shandong Fiber Inspection Bureau came to the first-class towel manufacturing enterprise in China, the Vosges Group, and the experts from the Shandong Fiber Inspection Bureau and the staff of the Vosges Group conducted experiments.
Combustion test
The experimenter took a few yarns from a towel, twisted it into a rope and ignited it with a lighter. The yarn burns quickly and thoroughly, and the residue is black ash. It turns into a powder and does not pass the ball. If the residue does not burn, there is a lumpy ash, accompanied by a pungent odor, indicating that it is not a cotton towel.

“A few years ago, many 'black heart manufacturers' used low-cost recycled cotton to produce towels for cost reduction. These towel consumers are difficult to distinguish from the appearance.†Vice President of China National Textile Association and Executive Director of Towel Professional Committee, Fu Sun Yong, general manager of the Japan Group, told reporters that inferior towels are often not 100% pure cotton, but rather doped with a considerable proportion of chemical fibers, easy to pilling, used to wash the face will irritate the skin.
Water absorption test
The experimenter prepared three towels and dropped a drop of water on the surface of three new towels with a dropper. The water droplets on the two towels quickly penetrated, indicating that the towel had good water absorption. After dropping water on another towel, water droplets are formed, which are not penetrated, and the water absorption of the towel is not good. The experimenter said that it is also possible to select a towel of the same size and determine whether the water absorption is good or bad by the time required for it to soak. The towel with good water absorption will sink into the bottom within 5 seconds.
Expert review
“A lot of people have this kind of experience. Some towels feel soft and soft, but after touching them, there is a sticky feeling on the hands. This may be the addition of additives. Such towels are like hair care when we wash our hair. Like the same, adding a softener can keep the surface of the towel soft, and the softness before washing will no longer exist.†Sun Yong said that the public can do water absorption experiments at home to distinguish the quality of it, and drop it on the new towel. Water droplets can be quickly absorbed, indicating that the water absorption of the towel is good, while the inferior towel has poor water absorption, and is loose, inelastic, and slippery when used.
Color fastness test
The experimenter pours hot water of about 80 degrees Celsius into the basin, and then puts the towel up and down to clean it. The water in the basin is not discolored. If it is colored, it indicates that the printing and dyeing quality is poor and it is harmful to human health.
Expert review
“When washing, the color is more serious, and it is more irritating to the skin and eyes. It can't be used.†Haiyong, an expert from Shandong Fiber Inspection Bureau, said that after washing home, the towel can be washed several times in clean water. Generally speaking, the quality is good. The towel will only wash off some of the floating color during the first wash. If it fades every time, it is best not to wash your face with this quality towel, otherwise it will be like “chemical dyes†to wash your face, which will cause great damage to the skin.
It is best to change the towel for 3 months.
"Anything has a lifespan. The life of the towel is usually 3 months. After the use of the towel, because the more and more things are absorbed, the towel will become a new source of pollution." Sun Yong said that the towel should be specially made. Dedicated, special towel. The number of towels per person per day should be 4-5, divided into face washing, foot washing, bathing and daily personal maintenance small towels. At the same time, he also suggested not to hang wet towels in unventilated toilets. The towels are often in a damp state and are prone to breeding harmful microorganisms such as bacteria and mites, which are harmful to the body.
