According to the above aspects, targeted choices can reduce risks.

Smell a strange smell

Some bedding products have hidden formaldehyde exceeding the standard, and the formaldehyde content is nearly 50 times of the standard limit. Formaldehyde is a colorless gas with a strong pungent smell. Smell the smell. If the product gives off an irritating smell, there may be formaldehyde residue. It's best not to buy it. Even if you buy new bedding, don't use it in a hurry. Be sure to wash the fabric thoroughly and dry it in the sun for a long time. Formaldehyde has good solubility in water and can effectively remove harmful substances after washing. In addition, we should also pay attention to the quilt placed in the wardrobe in summer, which will absorb a lot of formaldehyde, and must be fully dried before use.

Looking for famous products

Shrinkage of sheets and quilt cover after washing are common troubles people encounter. The products of large well-known enterprises are preferred, and the products of these enterprises are of good quality; Moreover, it is best not to buy some miscellaneous brands and products from small factories. Many products produced in the name of "Shanghai" and "Guangdong" on the market are not necessarily products of origin, but probably products produced by remote small workshops.

Check the appearance

Many people think that the fading of bedding is not a big deal, but experts point out that people will sweat when they sleep, and some substances in sweat will react with dyes in bedding textiles more or less. Sweat will reduce dyes into harmful substances, and then absorb them through human skin to cause cancer. At present, the bedding on the market has different grades, big price difference and big workmanship quality difference. The products with better quality have uniform cloth surface, delicate texture, clear printing, luster and even sewing. If the fabric is uneven, the texture is sparse, the pattern is messy, the sewing is rough, the quality is difficult to guarantee, and the dyeing fastness may not reach the standard.

Check logo

The product manual can be in the form of tag, label, package manual and instruction manual, and one or more of them can be used at the same time, but its contents must be marked: the name and address of the manufacturer, the product name, specifications and models, the composition and content of raw materials used, washing methods, implementation standards, quality grades, quality certificates, etc. Bedding requires specifications, filling quality, fiber name and flour/lining and filler content. Each product should be packaged to ensure that it will not be scattered, damaged, polluted or damp. The contents of different instruction forms should be consistent, and durability labels must be used for specifications and models, ingredients and contents of raw materials used, and washing methods.
