Is toilet paper the same as paper towels? Can you mix them?

First of all, I want to tell you that toilet paper and tissue are not a kind of paper! ! ! And you can't mix them!

Paper towels are actually classified, which can be roughly divided into: wiping face, wiping hands, wiping mouth, wiping ass and so on. Paper towels are generally used to wipe your mouth and toilet paper is used to wipe your ass. For example, some restaurants with better environment use paper towels, while most of the paper towels in small restaurants are toilet paper, so it is recommended to bring your own paper towels when you go out to eat, especially in small restaurants.

1. household paper (implementation standard GB/T20808-20 1 1)

In fact, tissue paper is divided into different types, such as paper towels, napkins, paper handkerchiefs and so on. , excluding wiping paper and kitchen paper. To put it bluntly, there is a kind of paper with relatively high hygiene standards, which can be called household paper. The total number of colonies cannot be higher than 200 cfu/g, and the raw materials used are also very clean, mainly primary wood pulp and primary bamboo pulp.

Features: good flexibility, good water absorption, no fluorescent agent, raw materials without recycled paper, and high hygiene requirements.

Usage: Wipe face, hands, nose, mouth and buttocks.

Second, toilet paper (implementation standard GB208 10-2006)

Toilet paper simply means that the total number of bacterial colonies in toilet paper or roll paper should not be higher than 600cfu/g, which means that toilet paper is far less clean than toilet paper. Moreover, the requirements for bacteria detection in toilet paper are much lower than those in toilet paper, and there is no limit on the total number of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and fungal colonies, and its materials are very miscellaneous, including cotton pulp, wood pulp, bamboo pulp, straw pulp and so on.

Features: poor flexibility, poor water absorption, may contain fluorescent agent, raw materials may use recycled paper, and the requirements for health indicators are not high.

Usage: wipe your ass and shine shoes.

From the above, we can see why toilet paper and toilet paper cannot be mixed. Toilet paper is far less clean than tissue paper. You can wipe your ass with a paper towel, but you can't wipe your face, mouth or hands with a paper towel. There are too many bacteria on toilet paper. It is very easy to cause gastrointestinal problems or itchy skin when you use it to wipe your mouth and hands.

I used to go to a small restaurant in front of my home with my sister. The paper on the table is obviously a kind of toilet paper. It's a very thin layer, which basically turns into pulp when it meets water. Nothing happened that night after my sister and I wiped our mouths after dinner. The next day, a few small bags grew around my mouth, and they were still itchy. We didn't know it was a bacterial infection until we went to the drugstore and asked the doctor. Everyone should pay attention.

Toilet paper can only be used to wipe your ass and shoes, and paper towels can be used to wipe anywhere, if you don't feel wasted ~
