Selecting and purchasing techniques

Traditional mats have poor breathability and hygroscopicity. They are cooler when they first lie down, but soon they become hot, sweaty, sticky, and the temperature suddenly drops. It is very cold. Since the breathable and moisture absorption index of linen is much higher than that of cotton and mulberry silk, a cool mat made of linen will quickly export sweat and heat excreted from the human body, making the skin dry and cool.

1. Visually measured high-quality pure linen knitted products, with clear and natural and dense textures, strong tensile resistance, and the surface of the fabric is naturally and soft. The fiber is too bright.

2. Observation method uses light-transmitted illumination of linen knitted products, allowing you to see cloud spots, and sometimes a small number of hemp particles can be found.

3. Hand-touch pure linen knitted products feel cool with a sagging and heavy feeling, and they will have a slight wrinkle when holding hard.

4. The combustion method takes a little yarn of linen fabric and burns it. If it has a paper smell and the ash is delicate and white-gray, it is proved to be linen fabric; while chemical fiber fabrics generally have a harsh smell after burning, and the ash is spherical.

The high-quality linen cool mat has clear texture, dense, strong tensile resistance, and the surface of the fabric is naturally soft (chemical fibers are too bright); when illuminated by light, you can see cloud spots, and you can also find a small amount of hemp particles; pure linen products feel smooth and have a sagging and heavy feeling, and there are a little wrinkles after holding it hard. In order to avoid being deceived, when purchasing a linen mat, you can use a linen fabric yarn to burn. If it has a paper smell and the ash is delicate and white gray, it will prove to be linen fabric. After the chemical fiber is burned, it will have a pungent smell and the burning substance is spherical.

Cleaning and maintenance methods for linen mats

When cleaning linen mats, you should pay special attention to: first add an appropriate amount of neutral detergent to warm or cold water, and then gently rub it with your hands. After washing, it is best not to twist hard, and it is not even possible to use a washing machine to dry it. Since most of the linen mats are intertwined with semi-ewing yarn and rain dew yarn, the color of rain dew yarn is its own natural color. If bleached washing powder and soap are used when washing, fading will occur.

After the weather turns colder, it is time to put the mat in the storage room. The mat should be sterilized before collecting. According to information, millions of mites are hidden in the cool mat that have been sleeping for a summer. When the air humidity is less than fifty percent, mites cannot reproduce.

1. Adjust the temperature button of the electric iron to the gear of the hemp product. If your iron does not have this position, adjust it to the highest level.

2. When the steam from the electric iron comes out, put the iron flat and iron it slowly along the side of the mat. After burning the mat, turn over the mat and then burn the other side.

3. After ironing the mat, wipe the entire mat with a clean towel. If it is sunny, take it to the sun to dry. If it is cloudy, hang it in a cool and ventilated place to dry.
