Children's wear fabrics exceed the standard of formaldehyde

Recently, with the exposure of brand-name garment printing and dyeing residues exceeded, the quality and safety of children's clothing was again pushed to the tip of the storm. A series of problems such as excessive formaldehyde in children's clothing fabrics caused parents to worry.

At present, the children's wear brands on the market and their fabrics and styles are dazzling. It is also necessary to give their children a choice of clothing that is safe, healthy and beautiful. Professor Hu Guoliang, from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering of Zhejiang University of Science and Technology, told parents that when it comes to choosing children's clothes, they should focus on natural fabrics and light colors. Also, don't forget to read the certificate of conformity on the clothing label.

The material of the clothes is 100% cotton. LaLa Mama does the children's clothing business on the Internet. But on the quality of children's clothes, she is also very doubtful. To buy clothes for her son, she usually chooses the texture of pure cotton. However, no matter whether it is the brand clothing sold in the mall or the small brand clothes sold on Taobao, most of the signs will be marked with 100% pure cotton. The official seal of the three-party certification, some of the clothes touch feeling is cotton, but how can we know if there is any other material added?

Professor Hu introduced that from the material point of view, the choice of infant clothing should be based on comfort, softness, better moisture absorption, and no irritation to the skin. Materials are made of natural materials. For example, white cotton is soft and the best weave can be knitted. Man-made fibers and other materials undergo chemical processing and there are chemical products left in the process.

Reminder: How to see if the clothes are cotton?

Professor Hu taught us a small experiment. Find a rag on a small piece of clothing and burn it. If you use cotton, it will burn like a piece of paper. The ash is white, polyester or other synthetic fibers.

The colors of the clothes are white or light. The childhood of the children is colorful. Therefore, many mothers like to buy colorful children's clothes for their children. However, colorful clothes add a lot of dyeing materials. Professor Hu pointed out that the problem of children's clothing is mainly due to the problem of dyes. If the fabrics are not handled cleanly during the processing and finishing process, formaldehyde will be exceeded.

Shi Hailan, deputy chief physician of Zhejiang Xinhua ** Department of Dermatology, pointed out that formaldehyde mainly comes from various types of textile auxiliaries, clothes containing formaldehyde, can cause skin allergies, such as skin redness, eczema and so on. "Formaldehyde, although it does not produce direct irritative reactions to the skin, can cause an immune response in the body, especially for children with allergies."

In addition, colorful clothes are also easy to fade. It is possible to use adhesives in the dyeing process of fabrics. If the dyes are not firmly bonded, they can easily fade. Therefore, the clothes you buy must be cleaned, and you can rinse the clothes with excess dyes. However, experts advise that when buying clothes for children, try to buy white or light colors that are close to the skin color, especially the clothes that are worn.

Reminder: How to determine if clothes will fade?

Professor Hu teaches us a method to judge whether the clothes will fade or not. Wet the colored parts of the clothes and look for a piece of white cloth rubbed underneath. If the dye is not firmly bonded, the colors will be printed on the white cloth.

Have you read the clothing label carefully?

Did you read the clothing label carefully when buying clothes? In general, the brand children's clothing is marked with the safety technology grade on the logo, and some are also marked with the words "formaldehyde content is tested in accordance with national standards" and the specifications are detailed. In some children's clothing stores, the logo is very simple. It is simply marked with the brand name, inspection, article number, composition, and price.

According to the relevant regulations in China, garments are divided into three categories: A, B, and C. Type A is infant and child products, formaldehyde content is not higher than 20mg/kg, pH is 4.0-7.5, and B is products that directly contact the skin. Formaldehyde content Not higher than 75mg/kg, pH value is 4.0-7.5; C is non-direct contact with the skin, pH 4.0-9.0, formaldehyde content is not higher than 300mg/kg, can not have odor.

In addition, Professor Hu pointed out that children's clothing on the label can also be marked with the best fire-retardant treatment, because for children, the clothes are not easy to burn it will be more secure. Foreign children's wear has this requirement, but it is not currently enforced in China.

Use de-formaldehyde laundry liquid to buy clothes from sources. I first choose formaldehyde-free fluorescent, there is no formaldehyde, you can smell the smell, some clothes, if the quality is not good, there will be a pungent odor or a mild warehouse taste. There are also some brands of clothes that will be marked with formaldehyde.

Second, I will consider the sweat-absorbent breathability of the clothes, cotton or high-quality man-made fibers is the first choice. After the clothes are bought back, they must be washed before giving them to the children. When washing, use laundry detergent. There is a formaldehyde-free baby laundry detergent on the market. You can wash the residual formaldehyde on clothes. After the clothes are washed, they must be burned. High temperatures can kill many bacteria, especially when the sun does not reach the sun.

In addition, I buy clothes for my baby. I don't pay much attention to the style of clothes, but I will consider its safety and convenience. Ropes, clasps, and other decorations on clothes cannot harm children. The source mother has collected a lot of clothes from relatives and friends. Children's clothing has a lot of exposure. Now whether it's going to the mall to buy children's clothes or going to an online store to buy clothes with no-names, I'm not too reassuring. Simply do not buy clothes for the baby, and other relatives and friends to borrow the old clothes from the baby as a child, collected a lot, get back and wash, drying a sun, you can give our family Rui Rui wear.

However, old clothes are usually worn at home. If I go out, I still need to prepare him several sets of outfits. I will work with my colleagues on the Internet purchasing foreign brands of children's wear, foreign children's clothing, quality inspection is more stringent, the price of shopping and shopping malls brand children's clothing is also similar, anyway, buy less than a few sets, but also can not spend much money. Rui Rui Ma clothes bought after the next water to see if it is faded I am an online shopping fan, like to buy sugar on the Taobao clothes, and like many young mothers, style and price are two factors that I consider. Of course, I will also pay attention to the quality of the clothes. The clothes worn for my daughter will be bought at the counter.

I pay great attention to whether the clothes will fade, because the children's clothes are colorful, and the chemical content of the dyes can cause harm to the skin, especially wearing clothing. When the colored clothes are bought back, I will put it in the water and if it fades, the clothes will not be worn by the children.
