1. No substitute for hand washing
As early as a few years ago, the Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China issued the "Management Specifications for Disinfection Product Labels and Instructions" that the packaging of toilet paper, wet wipes and other products should no longer be marked with words such as "disinfection" and "sterilization", but currently "disinfection" and "sterilization" "It remains an important selling point for these products.
Because the selling point of wet wipes is "disinfection and sterilization", people will not wash their hands after using wet wipes, and completely forget that there are still chemical residues on their hands, which is not good for children.
Using wet wipes is not the same as washing your hands. The doctor emphasized that no matter how many times you wipe your hands with wet tissue, you can't remove the bacteria on the skin surface. Washing hands with soap and running water is the cleanest.
2. Not reusable
A study in the United States also showed that when wet wipes are reused, instead of removing bacteria, some surviving bacteria are transferred to uncontaminated surfaces. Therefore, pay attention to changing a paper towel every time you wipe a new surface, and do not use it to wipe sensitive parts such as eyes.
3. Do not rub your eyes directly
It is particularly important to remind that you should use wet tissue to wipe your face less, especially not to directly wipe the eyes, middle ear and mucous membranes. If symptoms such as skin swelling and itching occur after use, you should stop using it immediately.
4. Choose a reliable brand when purchasing
Wet wipes contain a lot of liquid, which is very easy to breed bacteria, which is relatively strict for its production process. In regular manufacturers, workers must ozone disinfect the air in the workshop every day to ensure that the wipes are not affected by the air during production. In case of bacterial contamination, it is best to choose products from regular manufacturers with complete product information and good reputation when purchasing.
Secondly, try to use wet wipes with separate small packages for each piece. If you use removable wipes, they should be sealed after each use and used up as soon as possible to avoid the volatilization of their active ingredients.
5. It is best to choose unscented type wet wipes
The basic ingredients of wet wipes have no fragrance. The tea and lavender fragrances we usually smell are produced by adding fragrances. Choosing unscented wet wipes means that you can contact less additives, which is harmful to your baby. words, more important.
6. It’s not low-carbon
The main raw material for the production of wet wipes is actually non-woven fabrics, the main component of which is polypropylene grade polypropylene. Therefore, the extensive use of wet paper towels not only wastes valuable oil resources, but also is not easy to decompose after discarding, which is easy to cause new "white pollution".
