When traveling at home, it is inevitable to deal with microfiber towels. It is usually used to wipe hands, face, sweat, and decontamination. However, did you ever know what magical use it has?
1. In the restaurant, people use gas or liquefied petroleum gas to cook water. For example, keep a soaked towel and keep it nearby. In case the gas pipe or the liquefied petroleum gas nozzle leaks and catches fire, use a wet towel to pounce on it. If it is off, closes the valve quickly to avoid a fire.
2. The chef often puts a wet towel around him when cooking. In case the pan catches fire and quickly covers it, the fire will go out immediately.
3. Under certain circumstances, a wet towel can also be used on top of a gas mask. The secret is that towels have a smoke removal effect. When taking refuge in the smoke of a fire, you can cover your mouth and nostrils with a towel, and quickly rush out of the fire to escape. Tests have proved that the more folded layers of the towel, the better the smoke removal effect, but in the emergency of the fire, taking into account the limit of folding 8 layers, the smoke removal rate is about 60% at this time. In places with heavy smoke, because the smoke particles are large and stick to the network of the towel, the smoke removal rate increases with time. Experiment with a 20-fold towel, after 3 to 4 minutes, the smoke removal rate reached 100%, and of course, the air resistance also increased. Towels with different humidity levels have different smoke removal rates. The greater the water content, the greater the smoke removal rate. When the moisture content reaches the 3.3 letters of the towel, people’s patience time is about 1 minute and 20 seconds.
The experiment also showed that using a 20-fold dry towel can filter out 10% to 30% of carbon monoxide, and a 20-fold wet towel can filter out 10% to 40% of carbon monoxide.
