Domestic Consumers Should Strengthen Environmental Awareness Of Textiles

Hard parts and soft loading two parts can form a complete home, and a large part of the products used for soft packing are textiles, such as bedding, curtains and carpets.

Usually, household textiles are also called decorative textiles.

Textile and industrial textiles constitute the three part of the textile industry.

As an important category of textiles, household textile products are known as "soft decoration" in the decoration of living rooms, and they play a decisive role in building and pforming the environment.

It has come all the way from the traditional daily life demands of covering, covering, washing and rinsing. Nowadays, the home textile industry has already possessed the consumption style of fashion, personality, health care and so on. Home textiles, the household decoration and space decoration are becoming the new favorite in the textile industry.

When choosing such products, most consumers care about the style of these products, but they seriously ignore the environmental protection. But in fact, the environmental protection of textiles is also very important, especially for pregnant women and children.

Consumer heavy textiles have a higher style than environmental protection.

For the environmental protection of decoration, consumers will pay attention to the environmental protection of basic engineering, the environmental protection of furniture, and the frequency of textile used in soft clothing is very high, and the area is very large. Does its environmental consumer care about it?

Reporters randomly interviewed Mr. Wu, who is choosing furniture from red star, and asked whether he paid attention to the environmental protection of decoration. Mr. Wu answered very positively. When asked about the environmental protection of textiles, Mr. Jin said: "environmental protection is really not considered too much, but it is very concerned about the color and texture of products such as carpets and curtains. When we shop in stores like this, we are also concerned about this aspect."

In an interview, Ms. Li also said that these products, such as carpets, curtains and bedding products, are needed in the later stage of decoration. They must be matched with each other to buy their favorite styles.

The reporter also interviewed Mr. Li, a senior Decorating Designer, according to Mr. Li: "in the usual contact with customers, many people know that" light decoration, heavy decoration ", so the style is very important, but now the consumers are very concerned about the environmental protection of textiles.

In decoration, under normal circumstances, decoration pollution accounted for only 30% of the pollution coefficient, construction pollution accounted for 10%, soft loading accounted for 60%, and soft furniture except furniture.

A large proportion.

Products environmental labeling part of the store can not see.

Then, what are the environmental aspects of textiles? What are the dangers to the human body if they are not environmentally friendly?

According to Fu Lifang, Harbor house commodity management center, "carpet, curtains, bed products almost all need printing and dyeing. In printing and dyeing process, formaldehyde and other carcinogens may exceed the standard, which will cause harm to human health. For example, formaldehyde has a strong stimulation on skin and mucous membranes and eyes. After human exposure, skin wrinkles and sweat secretion decrease. Formaldehyde containing textiles can cause harm to the human body through skin and respiratory tract, so it can be called a close killer."

The reporter also inquired the relevant information. Our country formally implemented the mandatory national standard "basic safety technical specification for textile products" in January 1, 2005.

The formaldehyde content of textiles has been standardized, that is, C clothing (sweater, coat, skirt, trousers) and interior decoration (tablecloth, curtain, sofa, sofa cover, wall coverings), formaldehyde content should not exceed 300mg/kg.

Later, reporters visited many stores which had soft furnishing home textile sales, such as red star, IKEA, and even some stores specializing in the sale of home textiles and fabrics. Reporters found that some shops would smell the pungent smell of fabrics when they entered the door. Some of them felt irritating to the eyes when they entered the door. This is likely to be a failure of environmental protection. In the middle and high-end brand stores, salesmen will display relevant environmental labels when introducing products, while in some unknown brand stores, they even can't see the environmental protection signs of products.

Choose the tasteless and elegant products as far as possible.

Act as

How to choose environmentally friendly and healthy textile products, especially those who have children, pregnant women and other special groups at home.

GF cloth art General Manager Gao Fei introduced: "choose curtains, the first important news, if the textile products emit a smell of excitement, it is possible to have formaldehyde residue, it is best not to buy, followed by looking at flowers and colors, try to choose products with elegant colors, so that the risk of formaldehyde and color fastness exceeding standard is also small. Finally, look at the varieties. When choosing fabric and curtain products treated with shrinkproof, wrinkle resistant, soft and flat handle, be careful, pay attention to whether the fabric labels indicate formaldehyde content."

Fu Lifang reminded consumers that the curtains, bedding and so on should be thoroughly soaked and washed in clear water to reduce the formaldehyde content on the fabric. Especially for the products that are used personally, ventilation and drying can also remove formaldehyde.
