What are the precautions for cleaning and maintaining cold towels

The cooling effect of cold towels relies on the fiber structure of the fabric. Improper cleaning and maintenance can cause fiber damage, affecting the cooling performance and service life. Daily cleaning and maintenance can refer to the following points:
1. Selection of cleaning method
Prioritize hand washing or washing machine gentle mode for cleaning, and do not recommend using strong washing mode. When washing, wash the towel separately to reduce mixing with hard fabrics such as zippers and rough denim, and reduce the probability of fabric snagging and wear. It is recommended to control the washing water temperature at room temperature or cold water. It is not advisable to use high-temperature hot water for cleaning, as high temperatures can easily damage the fiber structure and accelerate the deterioration of cooling performance.
2. Selection of detergent
Use neutral detergent for cleaning, and avoid using laundry detergent, laundry powder, and bleaching products containing bleach, strong oxidants, and strong alkalis. Bleach ingredients can damage fibers and may also cause fabric fading; It is also not recommended to use fabric softener, as it will form a film on the surface of the fibers, blocking the micropores of the fabric and weakening the cold feeling and quick drying effect caused by water evaporation. The amount of detergent should not be too much. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning to reduce detergent residue.
3. Details of washing operation
Gently rub during cleaning, do not twist or twist vigorously. Cold sensing fabrics are mostly made of ultra-fine fiber structures, and violent twisting can easily cause fiber breakage and fabric deformation. After cleaning, gently squeeze and drain excess water. If the surface of the towel is stained with mud, sweat, or other dirt, it is recommended to clean it in a timely manner. Storing towels with stains for a long time can easily breed odors and mold.
4. Drying method
After cleaning, place it in a ventilated and cool place to air dry naturally. It is not recommended to expose it to direct sunlight for a long time or use a dryer to dry at high temperatures. Continuous high temperature and strong ultraviolet radiation can accelerate fiber aging, causing the fabric to become stiff and cool. During the drying process, try to spread it out as much as possible and do not store it tightly together for a long time.
5. Storage management
After completely drying, it is easy to store and store in a damp and sealed state, which can breed bacteria and produce odors. Keep the storage environment ventilated and dry, and avoid long-term storage in a hot and humid enclosed space. Do not place sharp objects together during storage to prevent scratching of the fabric.
6. Usage cycle related tips
After repeated washing, the cooling effect may experience a certain degree of attenuation, which is a normal phenomenon. If the fabric has fuzz, holes, and stubborn odors that are difficult to remove, replacement may be considered.
In addition, towels contaminated with oil and oily skincare products need to be cleaned as soon as possible. Oil adheres to the pores of fibers, which can hinder water evaporation and directly affect the cold sensation.
