The kitchen is very important in every family. People cook delicious meals in the kitchen, providing material security and adding a sense of life. The safety and hygiene of the kitchen has always been the focus of attention.
When you bring up the kitchen, the first thing that comes to mind is the cabinets, cookware, tableware, etc. However, there are some essential textiles in the kitchen, such as towels, rags, aprons, insulated gloves, etc. Although they are not the protagonists of the kitchen, they also play an important role. The role of the kitchen is part of the hygiene and safety of the kitchen. Let us pay attention to the textiles in the kitchen.
towel
The towel is made of textile fiber and has a surface of terry or looped fabric. It is used for daily cleaning, warming, decoration, etc. It mainly includes towels (face towel), square towel, towel quilt, towel and other categories. product.
Towels are woven products. The general structure consists of ground, latitude and longitude. In recent years, some knitted warp knitting products have appeared. The raw materials used include cotton, blended, purified fiber and new fiber. .
With the improvement of people's living standards, the consumption requirements for towel products are getting higher and higher, and new types of towels are also emerging. In addition to traditional yarn-dyed, jacquard, printing, satin and other products, there are many new varieties on the market, such as embroidered embroidered and jacquard-cut velvet towels. The raw materials used are also constantly innovating, such as nano antibacterial fiber towels and bamboo. Pulp viscose fiber towels, chitin fiber towels and other products.
The characteristics of the towel are mainly reflected in the loop (hair), and different types of products and functions can be produced by changing the shape of the loop, the weaving process, the raw materials used, and the like.
Towels in the kitchen are mainly used for washing. It is recommended to use cotton fiber towels. The cotton fiber is a tubular structure that can store water. Its main chemical component contains a large number of hydrophilic groups in the cellulose molecule, which can absorb water. The moisture absorption and water storage of the cotton fiber can make the towel feel comfortable and strong in decontamination.
Towel quality assessment indicators, in addition to the national mandatory standards GB 18401-2010 "National Textile Basic Safety Technical Specifications" required for formaldehyde content, pH, color fastness and decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes and other safety indicators, as well as weight, Strength, water absorption, hair removal rate, color fastness to chlorine bleaching, appearance quality and other indicators.
rag
In order to wipe the console, the cooktop, the dishes, etc., the choice of rags in the kitchen is very particular.
It is not recommended to use the old face towel as a rag. The old towel that has been "soaked" by the accumulated skin oil is very poor in water absorption. If the disinfection is improper, it will leave a lot of bacteria, which is not good for health.
Towels and rags in the kitchen should be kept clean and replaced frequently. Towels should be replaced in about 30 days, and should not be replaced for up to 40 days. Otherwise, high temperature cooking and disinfection is required. Because rags are often heavily contaminated, they should always be cleaned with detergent and increased the frequency of replacement.
Towels and rags are generally in a warm and humid state for a long time, which provides a convenient condition for the growth of bacteria. Microbiological testing, improper disinfection of towels and rags in the kitchen can cause bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli to exceed the standard, which is harmful to human health.
apron
The main role of the apron is to prevent soiling of the clothes during cooking. The current common aprons mainly have the following categories:
Non-woven apron: Non-woven fabric is a kind of non-woven fabric, which is directly formed by high-polymer slicing, short fiber or filament, formed by various web forming methods and consolidation techniques, and has soft, breathable and flat structure. The new fiber products are more economical, firm and environmentally friendly.
RPET peach skin apron: Recycled PET fabric is a new type of environmentally-friendly recycled fabric. Its yarn is made from discarded mineral water bottles and Coke bottles. It is also known as RPET fabric. Recycle PET fabric uses the recycled eco-friendly fiber materials recovered from Coke bottles, and the recovered Coke bottles are crushed into pieces, which are processed by spinning, which can be recycled and effectively reduce the carbon dioxide emissions, which is less than the conventional production of polyester fiber. 80% of energy.
- Cotton apron: generally soft, anti-sensitive, easy to clean, not easy to raise the ball, more sanitary.
- Satin apron: generally made of waterproof satin, the dirt on the sticky is easy to remove.
- Canvas apron: thicker, wear-resistant and dirt-resistant, and waterproof.
insulation gloves
As microwaves and ovens enter more and more kitchens, which facilitates and enriches people's lives, another textile, insulated gloves, is increasingly entering more families.
Insulating gloves are protective gloves that block all forms of high temperature heat and prevent damage from their opponents. It is made of high temperature resistant fiber and has a resistance to heat.
Mineral fiber asbestos has been used most frequently for high-temperature resistant fibers. However, because asbestos has a certain degree of carcinogenicity, its use has been limited. Germany has been completely banned since 1993. At present, the main high temperature resistant fibers are glass fiber, silicate fiber, carbon fiber, ceramic fiber, aramid fiber and other high temperature resistant organic fibers, such as polyimide fiber and polybenzimidazole fiber. At present, most of the high-temperature resistant fibers are made of inorganic fibers. Compared with organic fibers, inorganic fibers have strong heat resistance, are non-flammable, and have high resistance to decomposition.
The textiles in the kitchen are just as important as the other items in the kitchen. Their safety, hygiene and aesthetics are related to our food safety and quality of life. Therefore, we should choose the textiles in the kitchen and keep them clean, hygienic and beautiful. The cleanliness of the kitchen and the safety of the food prevent the disease from entering the mouth.

A damp, dirty rag contains more bacteria than anywhere else in the room. In 2009, a study conducted by microscientist Charles Gerba of the University of Arizona showed that a sponge used in a kitchen could contain 1.2 billion harmful bacteria, a harmful bacteria in a dishcloth used for only one day. Enough to make people sick
