A reporter bought more than 10 children's carpets for proper children's carpets. After inspection, it was found that six of the 10 children's carpets did not meet the national standards, and all of them exceeded the standard of formamide, the most serious of which was as high as 17 times. In addition, these so-called children's carpets are still sold in the name of "safety and environmental protection"
Medical research shows that formamide will do harm to children's blood and nervous system if it is directly inhaled or infiltrated into the skin by children, and even more seriously, it contains cancer risk, but most parents have never heard of it. What is even more frightening is that many families still use it for their children.
What kind of carpet is called poison carpet?
1) low price.
Most "poisonous carpets" have a common feature. Although it is under the banner of "safety and environmental protection", the price is very low. It is this low price that has captured the hearts of many parents.
Parents don't think it necessary to buy a toy carpet for their children. As long as the child falls and is not injured, his limbs and skin will not directly touch the ground. However, it is this psychology of parents that poses a threat to children.
This kind of low-priced children's carpet repeatedly uses recycled materials, which leads to harmful substances exceeding the standard and endangers children's health.
2) Three No Products
Most of the "toxic carpets" are "three no products", which captures the parents' "indifferent" psychology, thinking that a carpet does not have to be made by a big factory, as long as it can be used.
However, parents should know that children are still young, especially the items used must not be sloppy. Parents should go to a formal place to buy, and it is best not to buy online. When buying, they must see clearly whether there are three products, and check whether the following production materials of children's carpets contain harmful substances.
3) Smell a pungent smell.
When buying children's carpets, parents must carefully smell whether there is a pungent smell. Generally, carpets containing pungent odor are all caused by harmful substances exceeding the standard. Therefore, when buying children's carpets, parents should try to choose soft and acceptable smells instead of pungent ones.
4) Try the feel
Generally, a good children's carpet will have a high material density, giving people a thick and elastic feeling. If parents touch the carpet with their hands and find that it is inelastic or even feels like a defective product, don't buy such a carpet for their children.
Methods and means of cleaning and maintaining children's carpets
1. Sunshine
Sunexposure of children's carpets is the best disinfection and sterilization method. Children's carpets should be exposed to the sun regularly to ensure the cleanliness of the carpet, but don't expose them directly, which is easy to be damaged by children's carpets.
Wash it once every 2.3 months or so.
Children's carpets should be cleaned every three months, and the stains on the carpets must be thoroughly cleaned. If the carpet is not completely dry, don't give it to children.
3. Vacuum once every 3 days.
Vacuum cleaner is the simplest way to maintain children's carpets, but it is also the most effective way. Using a vacuum cleaner on time can help children absorb excess dust from the carpet and prevent children from inhaling dust into their lungs.
Parents must not be careless about children's products. Don't think that a child can use it casually. Any kind of children's products, if the quality is not up to standard, will have a serious impact on children's growth and development.
Especially children's carpets and children's cups have become "necessities" for children when they were young. Therefore, parents must be careful when buying these kinds of children's products, so as not to bring harm to their children when they encounter quality problems.
