Next, we will give you a comprehensive analysis of the relevant knowledge of soft towels, so that you can easily buy your own soft towels.

1. Must natural cotton fibers be used to produce soft towels?

Not really. Soft towel mainly refers to dry wipe products made of nonwoven cloth, usually we say cotton soft towel and soft towel, face towel, all belong to soft towel products. Because the raw materials of the products are different, or the positioning is different, the name is different. For example, "cotton towel" usually uses pure cotton fiber raw materials, while "soft towel" is the use of other fiber raw materials, such as viscose fiber, or polyester fiber, with a soft texture of the product.

The national standard for soft towels does not stipulate that cotton fibers must be used, soft towels can use cotton fibers, viscose fibers or polyester fibers, etc., as long as the quality of the product is qualified, different fiber raw materials have their own advantages, and it is not necessary to limit the choice of cotton fibers.

2. Is the soft towel product produced by non-pure cotton material not good?

Many people have a misunderstanding when choosing products, "it is not pure natural or unsafe". The soft towels produced by different raw materials have their own characteristics, and the soft towels produced by non-pure cotton materials are not good.

For example: many times, we see that the ingredients of soft towel products are labeled "100% cellulose fiber", "100% plant fiber", and these fibers are usually some type of viscose fiber. The main component of viscose fiber is cellulose, derived from wood, and its composition is not chemically modified pure cellulose, with the same characteristics as natural fibers, so it is also called cellulose fibers. Viscose fiber and cotton fiber from a more microscopic point of view, the main components are the same, are cellulose, so they also have similar characteristics, soft to touch, good water absorption, biodegradable and so on. In short, viscose fiber is also a plant-derived, environmentally friendly, safe and sustainable fiber material.

Although polyester fiber is synthetic fiber, but compared with cotton fiber and viscose fiber, better strength, more cost-effective, some soft towel products will add a certain proportion of polyester fiber.

Viscose fiber and polyester fiber are widely used in daily life, and have been verified for a long time, and qualified products will not have safety problems.

3. What is the difference between cotton fiber, viscose fiber and polyester fiber in performance?

Cotton fiber is widely used in our daily life, when it comes to cotton, everyone thinks of "natural, health, safety, environmental protection" and other adjectives, due to the natural nature of cotton fiber, it is usually more friendly to people with sensitive skin and allergies. In addition, the cotton fiber feels soft and comfortable to the touch and has excellent water absorption properties. Soft towel for mother and child, the main "pure cotton" characteristics of the product, usually choose cotton fiber material.

Viscose fiber and cotton fiber is the same plant-based fiber, the same soft, skin friendly good, when cleaning the skin can have more contact points with the skin, so as to better clean dirt. At the same time, viscose fiber has good water absorption. On the market, many face towels, facial cleaning towels, dry and wet dual-use wipes, etc., are produced using viscose fibers.

Polyester fiber used in soft towel, has the advantages of high strength, not easy to lose hair, economic benefits, some soft towel products will add a small part of polyester fiber.

Therefore, we can choose according to our needs: if we want plant-based ingredients and a softer touch, we can choose cotton fibers or viscose fibers, and the pursuit of economic benefits can choose products containing polyester fibers.

4. How to choose the most suitable soft towel products?

The composition of the raw material has a certain impact on the performance of the product, but in fact, consumers do not need to be limited to a certain fiber raw material in the process of choosing the product. The actual use effect of each product can be compared, such as feel, degree of water absorption, etc. Pay attention to the design of the product, such as embossing, thickness, size, number, packaging form, etc.; Choose products from well-known brands. In addition, there are many product subdivisions for different use scenarios, such as baby special, makeup remover, face wash, etc., but also according to their own needs, comprehensive consideration of the purpose of use, cost-effective, etc., so as to buy a really suitable for their own soft towel. Understanding the raw materials of the product can help us choose the products that are more suitable for our needs, but in the purchase of soft towels, we do not have to take the material as the only choice standard, there are differences between different materials such as water absorption, comfort, cost performance, etc., should be considered comprehensively, so as to buy the soft towel products that are really suitable for their own use.
