Recently, with the exposure of the brand-name clothing dyeing residue exceeding the standard, the quality of children's clothing has once again been pushed to the wind. Parents are worried about a series of problems such as excessive formaldehyde in children's wear fabrics.
At present, the children's wear brand on the market and its fabrics and styles are dazzling, and it is necessary to give your child a safe, healthy and beautiful clothing. Professor Hu Guoliang, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Zhejiang Sci-Tech University, told parents that when choosing children's wear, try to use natural fabrics and light colors. Also, don't forget to read the certificate of conformity on the clothing label.
Guide the experts:
Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, Zhejiang Sci-Tech University Hu Guoliang, deputy director of the Department of Dermatology, Xinhua Hospital, Zhejiang Province, Shi Hailan clothes material 100% cotton Lama mother to do children's clothing business online, but about the quality of children's clothing, she is also very confused. When I buy clothes for my son, she usually chooses the texture of pure cotton. However, whether it is a branded clothing sold in a shopping mall or a small brand of clothes sold online, most of the signs will be marked with 100% cotton. "There is no third party on the label." The official seal of certification, some clothes feel cotton, but how do you know if there are other materials added?"
Professor Hu introduced that from the material point of view, the choice of infant clothes should be based on comfort, soft, hygroscopic, and no irritation to the skin. The material is made of natural materials, such as white cotton, which is soft in texture and preferably knitted. Materials such as rayon are chemically processed and chemical products remain in the process.
Reminder: How to see if the clothes are all cotton?
Professor Hu taught us a little experiment. Look for a piece of rag on a piece of clothing to burn it. If it is cotton, it will burn like paper. Gray is white, polyester or other man-made fibers will burn out with hard things.
The color of the clothes is white or light. The childhood of the child is colorful, so many mothers like to buy bright colored children's clothes for their children. However, brightly colored clothes add a lot of dyed material. Professor Hu pointed out that the emergence of children's clothing is mainly caused by the problem of dyes. If the fabric is not cleaned during the processing and finishing process, it will cause formaldehyde to exceed the standard.
Shi Hailan, deputy director of the dermatology department of Xinhua Hospital of Zhejiang Province, pointed out that formaldehyde mainly comes from all kinds of textile printing and dyeing auxiliaries. The clothes contain formaldehyde, which can cause skin allergic reactions, such as redness of the skin and eczema. "Formaldehyde does not directly cause irritation to the skin, but it can cause an immune response in the body, especially for some children with allergies."
In addition, brightly colored clothes are also easy to fade. It is possible to use a binder during the dyeing process, and it is easy to fade if the dye is not firmly bonded. Therefore, the clothes you buy must be cleaned and washed repeatedly to wash off the excess dye on the clothes. However, experts reminded that when buying clothes for children, try to buy white or light colors that are close to the skin color, especially those that are close to the skin.
Reminder: How to judge whether the clothes will fade?
Professor Hu teaches us a way to judge whether the clothes will fade, wet the colored parts of the clothes, and find a piece of white cloth to rub underneath. If the dye is not firmly combined, the color will be printed on the white cloth.
Have you read the label of the clothing carefully?
Have you read the label of the clothing carefully when you buy clothes? In general, the logo of the brand children's wear is marked with the safety technology grade, and some are also marked with the words "formaldehyde content has been tested to meet the national standards", and the specifications are detailed. And in some children's clothing stores, the logo is very simple, only the brand name, inspection, item number, composition, price and so on.
According to China's relevant regulations, clothing is divided into three categories: A, B, and C. Class A is baby products. The formaldehyde content is not higher than 20mg/kg, and the pH is 4.0–7.5. Class B is the product that directly contacts the skin, and the formaldehyde content. Not higher than 75mg/kg, pH 4.0–7.5; Class C is non-direct contact with skin, pH 4.0–9.0, formaldehyde content not higher than 300mg/kg, no odor.
In addition, Professor Hu pointed out that the label of children's wear should also be marked with flame retardant treatment, because it is safer for children to burn easily. Foreign children's wear has this requirement, and there is currently no enforcement in China.
[Mom's tricks]
Use formaldehyde-depleted laundry detergent to buy clothes from the source. I first choose formaldehyde-free fluorescent, formaldehyde, smell, some clothes, bad quality, pungent smell or mildew in warehouse taste. There are also some brands of clothes that will be marked with formaldehyde.
Secondly, I will consider the sweat absorbing and breathability of the clothes, cotton or good quality rayon is the first choice. After the clothes are bought, they must be washed before they are worn. Washing liquids should be used. There are baby laundry detergents on the market that can remove formaldehyde. The clothes will be burnt after washing, and the high temperature will kill a lot of bacteria, especially when it is not exposed to the sun on a cloudy day.
In addition, I buy clothes for my baby. I don't pay much attention to the style of the clothes, but I will consider its safety and convenience. The ropes, buttons and other decorations on the clothes should not harm the child. Yuanyuan Ma has exposed a lot of children's clothing to relatives and friends. Now, whether it is going to the mall to buy children's clothes or go to the online shop to buy miscellaneous clothes, I am not too reassured. Simply don't buy clothes for the baby. Borrow the old clothes that the other babies passed through when they were young. They collected a lot, took them back and washed them, and they could wear them to our family.
However, old clothes are usually worn at home, and if I go out, I still have to prepare a few sets of lines for him. I will work with my colleagues to purchase foreign brand children's clothing online, foreign children's wear, quality inspection is more stringent, and the purchase price is similar to the clothing brand of children's clothing, anyway, buy a few sets, and it does not cost much. Rui Rui Ma clothes bought and went down to see if it faded. I am an online shopping fan. I like to buy clothes for sugar candy online. Like many young mothers, style and price are the two factors I consider. Of course, I will also pay attention to the quality of the clothes, and the clothes that my daughter wears will be bought at the counter.
I am very concerned about whether the clothes will fade, because the children's clothes are colorful, and the chemical content of the dye will cause damage to the skin, especially the clothes that are worn close to the body. After the colored clothes are bought back, I will put it in the water to make a bubble. If it fades, the clothes are generally not worn by the child.
