Consumers should beware of chronic poisoning of home textile fabrics

Flowing curtains, colorful cushions, fancy bedding sheets... Nowadays, a "soft decoration" style that uses cloth products to decorate the home has blown into the families of many young people. However, behind these seemingly gorgeous fabric products, it is likely to hide mold, formaldehyde and other home killers.

When you are sleeping in a beautiful bed sheet, you can't tell if formaldehyde is secretly invading your health.

Ultra-low-cost "four-piece" is popular

Just in Guangzhou Renmin Road and Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street, the reporter noticed that there are a number of booths in the “factory direct bedding”, and the most interesting one is the big sale of the “39 yuan four-piece set” marked by the black poster. These bedding for one-meter and five-double beds are placed in a stack at the most prominent position at the door of the business. The colors are deep and shallow.

The reporter noticed that many people pay attention to the size and color pattern of the bedding products when purchasing these ultra-low-cost bedding products. There are few questions about quality, feel and color loss. “Is it pure cotton?” the reporter asked. "Of course it is pure cotton." The salesman replied. However, the reporter opened the zipper and touched it carefully. It feels harder and it seems difficult to protect 100% cotton.

In many street shops, the reporter also saw the scene of selling sofa cushions, cushions and curtains at low prices. The sofa cushion was 15 yuan, and the curtains were 16 yuan a meter... Because of the big price card, many women also joined. When the reporter touched a stack of gauze curtains, an experienced aunt next to the reporter whispered to reporters: "Don't buy this kind of fuchsia, my family is this, go back to the water and fade, and can't stand the sun." The reporter smelled it, and there was a noticeable pungent taste.

Be wary of chemical toxicity residues

“Whether it is cushions, bedding products that are directly in contact with the human body, or textiles that coexist but not in contact with people, the primary concern when choosing them is to avoid chemical toxicity residues, which is directly related to the human body. In the future, 'slow poisoning'." Zhang Lihua, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, told reporters that the so-called chemical toxicity residue is the first to be formaldehyde. “The main reason why formaldehyde is widely used in soft decoration is that its price is low. It is not realistic to completely eliminate the use of formaldehyde in the production process of textile products. If the formaldehyde content is controlled within the specified range, the textile products are safe and qualified.”

Director Zhang Lifa reminded that if formaldehyde exceeds the standard, it will coexist with human beings for a long time, its toxicity may cause effects on human liver and gallbladder, and even dangerous carcinogenicity exists. Studies have shown that formaldehyde may cause nasal cancer, lung cancer and brain cancer. Different people have different sensitivity to formaldehyde, and children and the elderly have the weakest resistance.

Experts advise that when buying fabrics, pay attention to smell and quality: if the product emits irritating odor, there may be formaldehyde residue; when purchasing fabrics that have been treated with anti-shrinkage, anti-wrinkle, flatness, etc., pay attention to whether formaldehyde is marked. Specific content.

If there are many windows in the room at home, in order to avoid repeating the “medium stroke” of the same material, the curtains and sofas of different textures, such as gauze, venetian blinds, roller blinds, fabric sofas, rattan sofas, leather sofas, etc., can be selected. "Buy plants is also a good choice, like tiger Piran, spider plant, etc., placed on the window sill can effectively absorb the formaldehyde released by the curtains, to purify the air." Experts said.

Chemical fiber texture is easy to cause skin diseases

In addition to fighting formaldehyde pollution, Director Zhang Lifa told reporters that another enemy to deal with is the skin disease caused by textiles. Skin rashes, eczema, allergic dermatitis, urticaria and even asthma in the respiratory system, allergic rhinitis, etc., may be caused by poor texture and hidden bacteria in close-fitting bedding, cushions or close-up curtains.

"When choosing textiles, try not to choose chemical fiber products. The weaker the gas permeability, the more likely it is to stimulate skin attacks. Cotton and hemp are more suitable for high temperature weather in Guangzhou."

In addition, for infants, bedridden elderly, and patients with recurrent skin diseases, it is necessary to put higher demands on the bedding products and cushions. “Try to choose light colors on the colors, because the more vivid and dark the colors, the more chemicals are used and the more likely the residue is.” Zhang Lihua said: “The skin of these three groups is more fragile and easy. Damaged. Because of its poor resistance, once the skin is damaged, it may cause infection, so the bed with high permeability and fine texture is suitable for them."

Home Fabric "Moldproof Cleaning Manual"

Guangzhou has abundant rain in spring and summer, and improper maintenance of bedding curtains is prone to mold, and mold, candida, staphylococcus, etc. may induce human diseases. Expert reminder:

The purchased fabric should be fully immersed in clean water to reduce the chemical toxicity residue remaining on the fabric;

A harder cloth that can be washed with a softener to avoid irritating the skin and causing local itching;

Cloth sofas and curtains can be blown dry by a hair dryer;

The damp air and the lack of attention to ventilation are the reasons why mold likes to patronize. In view of the characteristics of mold, such as fear of light, fear of oxygen, fear of cold, and fear of dryness, beds, cushions, curtains, etc. can be exposed to the sun from time to time. Frequent window opening can also reduce the number of indoor molds;

It is best to use a vacuum cleaner or brush to remove dust from the sofa to prevent dust or stains from remaining in the fiber for a long time, and to stimulate allergic dermatitis or rhinitis and asthma.
