Many parents are very concerned about their children's diet, but they are very casual about their children's clothes. In their view, clothes should only be wearable. Because there are many substandard clothes on the market, this kind of clothes is also very harmful to children's health.
Many cheap unqualified clothes often exist because they contain a primary carcinogen-indoor formaldehyde. Adding indoor formaldehyde to clothes will help to prevent clothes from shrinking, wrinkling, fading and printing falling off, which will make clothes look more gorgeous and beautiful.
If the formaldehyde content is too high, it will have a great adverse effect on our health. In more serious cases, even long-term contact may lead to sepsis. CCTV has exposed this kind of clothes. In the quality inspection report, it has been said that the formaldehyde concentration in baby clothes exceeds the standard, which may lead to skin allergy and even cancer. In this case, how can we prevent children from wearing cancer-causing clothes?
1. Look at the clothes label. Generally speaking, there are certain labels on clothes, which have the basic information of the manufacturer and the precautions for cleaning clothes. Clothes are also divided into three categories: A, B and C. A is of good quality, C is of the worst quality and B is of medium quality. You don't have to choose to buy grade A clothes, but at least buy grade B clothes, preferably not grade C clothes.
Close-fitting clothes for children should have certain quality assurance, so that they can be used with peace of mind. Some clothes are suitable for hand washing, some are suitable for washing by washing machine, and some are marked with the degree of washing. These are all things that need attention.
2. Buy clothes with solid colors and light colors or less prints. Clothes with many bright colors or clothing prints are likely to contain a lot of indoor formaldehyde, because indoor formaldehyde plays an effective role in avoiding fading and maintaining the durability of clothing prints. Therefore, for the sake of children's health, parents should try to buy their children monochrome or light-colored clothes, or clothes with less printing. Some parents always worry that wearing light clothes for their children is easy to get dirty, so they buy dark clothes for their children. In fact, neatness is nothing in front of health.
Don't buy clothes with pungent smell. Under normal circumstances, all the new clothes just delivered are smelly, which is normal. However, it is best not to buy clothes with pungent smell or even choking nose, because it is likely to contain a lot of indoor formaldehyde. Generally, when going to the store, the store must use eau de toilette or something else to remove the fragrance from the clothes, or the fragrance on the clothes has disappeared after a long time. Then you can ask the store to take out a new unopened dress and open it to smell if there is a pungent smell. If you smell a pungent smell, it is recommended to change to another store.
New clothes must be washed before wearing. Some people may especially like new clothes, or for convenience. It is actually very bad to buy new clothes and change them directly without washing them. You may not smell the pungent smell on the clothes you just bought, but it doesn't mean that there is no formaldehyde on the clothes.
So after buying new clothes, you must wash them before wearing them, and it is best to bask in the sun, so that you can not only wear healthy body and mind, but also wear comfortable clothes.
