Home textiles are the most intimate fabrics in contact with our skin except clothing, so the quality of home textile fabric is very important. Today we will talk about its antibacterial and deodorizing properties.

As towels are often dipped in water and are generally placed in a relatively humid environment, microorganisms will multiply, which may cause towels to emit an odor and cause users to feel itchy. Therefore, the requirements for towels are relatively high, and it is best to undergo antibacterial and deodorant chemical treatment. The general approach is to use a finishing agent with a bactericidal effect to make it have certain antibacterial properties. In recent years, Japan has made a lot of explorations in the research of natural antibacterial finishing agents. For example, using aloe vera, mugwort leaf, and other aromatic oil extracts with bactericidal effect, they are coated in porous organic microcapsules or porous ceramic powder to adhere to them. The fabric is cross-linked and fixed by resin, and the fungicide is slowly released through mechanical action such as friction and pressure to achieve the purpose of durable antibacterial finishing. This type of natural antibacterial agent has certain health care functions. However, due to the limited technology of fixing antibacterial agents, the washing resistance of antibacterial agents is not good enough. The antibacterial performance decreases a little after washing and generally disappears completely after dozens of times.

Of course, polyester flannel fabric is mostly used in clothing, so it is not necessary.
