The raw material of the towel directly determines the quality of the towel, and the prices of different raw materials vary greatly. The quality of the towels used must be 100% cotton. The yarn count of cotton yarn is 21, 21 joint, 32 joint or 40. The advantage of pure cotton towels is that other towels containing chemical fiber raw materials cannot be compared.
How to distinguish whether the towel is pure cotton:
(1) Visual identification method:
Cotton towels are generally divided into pure cotton and polyester cotton.
Cotton: more fluff, poor surface finish
Polyester/cotton: The fluff is relatively small, the surface finish is good, and it has a certain luster. It feels very slippery when touched by hand.
(2) Combustion method:
Cotton: Near flame, burning, burning paper, less ash, soft black ash.
Polyester cotton: near flame melting, dripping, foaming, weak aroma, hard light brown.
When using the combustion method, be careful to extract the different tissues in the towel fabric, as the yarns used in different parts of the towel can be completely different.
There are several reasons why manufacturers can claim that the towel is pure cotton and not actually pure cotton:
1, When the towel manufacturer purchases the yarn, the yarn that claims to be pure cotton yarn is not 100% pure cotton. Many yarns are made by blending cotton and yarn scraps. The cotton is definitely cotton spinning. The mill does not care much. Therefore, many yarns claiming pure cotton may be made of open cotton which is not pure cotton.
2, Many towels claiming pure cotton are actually polyester yarn. Such wefts make the towel easy to weave, reduce the cost, and because the polyester part is not on the surface of the towel, it gives a feeling that it is not pure cotton but has little harm. You can take some lines in the middle part of the towel to burn and observe.
3, Some high-end towels embroidered and satin parts, most of them are impossible to use pure cotton fabrics, due to some of the requirements of the raw material strength in the production process, as well as the existing embroidery thread materials. Therefore, many high-grade cotton towels will be declared at the time of export: pure cotton (except for embroidery and satin)
4, The big side and horizontal side of the rolled towel may not be pure cotton. This is a very detailed issue that is often not noticed by towel manufacturers and customers.
Even 100% cotton towels will lose hair because towels will inevitably get hair in the production process, then you can use detergent to wash each time you wash the towel. Either wash it with detergent or wash it with shampoo to make the towel soft and lint-free. After washing three or four times, the towel will not lint.
Secondly, it is necessary to change the towels regularly, and often keep the towels in a ventilated place.
