It is understood that the 10 major brand apparel products that have detected quality problems are mainly from 13 countries and regions such as Italy, the United Kingdom, and Portugal. Products include trousers (shirts), shirts, casual pants, jackets, T-shirts, jeans, and sweaters. Women's skirts, women's blouses and other categories. According to the inspection results issued by the Zhejiang Provincial Administration for Industry and Commerce, these 10 unqualified brands have four major problems.

The first is the index of perspiration fastness and rubbing color fastness. In the process of wearing, sweating will cause the dye to decolorize the skin and be absorbed by the skin will be harmful to the human body. Sampling Hugo Boss casual pants friction color fastness, shark sweater dry friction color fastness, Feijie pants wet friction color fastness, Jager Lion Dan men's pants waterproof color fastness Degrees of perspiration, color fastness to perspiration, and color fastness to rubbing are unacceptable.

The second is the PH value is not qualified. Mainly due to improper control of pH. The skin of the human body is a neutral, weak acid. If the PH value of the garment is too high or too low, alkaline or acidic is too strong, it will directly destroy the balance mechanism of the human skin, weaken the skin's ability to resist the invasion of bacteria, and cause skin allergies. The Dupont men’s jacket and shark T-shirts that were spot checked were not qualified.

Third, the fiber content indicators failed. The reason is that raw materials have not been detected in the factory or at the factory, and some have even been used for malicious purposes. Such as Hugo Bosch, marked as 100% cotton, measured as 100% polyester; Burberry, marked as 100% polyester, measured as 100% viscose; and other brands marked viscose, measured as copper ammonia fiber.

·Expert advice

How to distinguish fabrics

Li Zhien (Deputy Director of the National Textile Quality Inspection Center): There are generally two methods to distinguish between cotton fabrics and chemical fiber fabrics. One is sensory identification, which is hand-feeling. Pure cotton fabrics are soft to the touch and are carefully observed. The surface of the clothes has a lot of creases and wrinkles, while the chemical fiber fabric is relatively smooth and flat, and it feels smoother; the second method is the burning method. We can take one or two threads from this fabric and put it on fire to burn. The cotton fabric burns faster, the smell is like the smell of burning paper, there is very little ash, powdery ash, and the chemical fiber fabric burns faster, black smoke, after burning is a hard black block Some faint scent.

How to check the color fastness

Li Zhien: The color fastness that is close to the consumers is mainly abrasion resistance, water resistance, and perspiration resistance. Wear-resisting color fastness Consumers can take a piece of white cloth and rub and rub on the clothes. When rubbing, observe the color of the clothes sticking on the white cloth. Discolor the situation. Drop it lighter. The color fastness can also be more powerful, the color is relatively deep, it shows that it is more serious color change, the color fastness is relatively poor; washable, you can take a pot, put some water, put some detergent, put the point Wash it with detergent, if it doesn't fade in color, the color is clearer, the water is still clearer, it shows that its color fastness is better, if the basin is full of dark water, it is a deeper color, It shows that its water fastness is relatively poor, so that for everyone's safety, for health, consumers are best to wash with detergent after buying new clothes, and then wear it is better.
