Linen cooling mat, choose wisely

As a professional manufacturer of linen cooling mats, Tai'an Dongyue Hemp Textile Co., Ltd. would like to talk about linen cooling mats and the importance of choosing wisely. We hope to provide some reference for everyone as this summer approaches.

Every summer, a wide variety of cool mats always bring people "new surprises". The popular "cowhide mat" in recent years, the popular "Malancao" in recent times, and the beloved "linen mat" this summer, with the continuous updating of materials, cool mats have become more "humanized".

Traditional material cooling mats have poor breathability and moisture absorption. They may feel cool when lying down, but soon they become hot, sweaty, and sticky. When the temperature suddenly drops, they become very cold again. Due to the much higher breathability and moisture absorption index of flax compared to cotton and mulberry silk, cooling mats made of flax will quickly dissipate sweat and heat excreted by the human body, making the skin dry and cool.

Secondly, flax is an annual herbaceous plant with natural and rustic fibers and elegant colors. Combined with the hidden spice plants of the flax genus, especially the unique hollow bundle fiber structure, it is rich in oxygen and can adsorb harmful substances to purify the air.

In addition, some illegal manufacturers, in order to reduce costs and make up for the lack of production technology, extensively use viscose fibers (artificial cotton) instead of flax fibers, or mix inferior hemp with flax to pass it off as good. They even use dry spinning technology to weave the "scraps" produced during the production process - short hemp - into flax cooling mats. Although these products have a smooth and bright appearance, their quality is greatly reduced, and some products have a chemical fiber content of over 70%.

According to experts, good linen cooling mats have clear and dense patterns, strong tensile strength, and a natural and soft surface gloss of the fabric (synthetic fibers have a too bright gloss); Transparent illumination of linen products can reveal cloud spots and a small amount of linen particles; Pure linen products have a smooth and heavy feel, with slight wrinkles when held firmly. To avoid being deceived, when citizens choose linen mats, they can take a piece of linen fabric yarn and burn it. If there is a burning paper smell and the ash is delicate and white gray, it proves to be linen fabric. After burning synthetic fibers, there is a pungent smell and the burning material is spherical.

When cleaning linen mats, special attention should also be paid: first add an appropriate amount of neutral detergent to warm or cold water, and then gently rub with your hands. After washing, it is recommended not to wring it out too hard, let alone spin it dry in a washing machine. Due to the fact that most linen mats are interwoven with semi gauze and rain dew hemp raw yarn, the color of rain dew hemp is its natural color. If bleach containing laundry detergent and soap are used during washing, fading may occur.
