Tissue paper is in every home

But have you chosen the right one?

There’s a big difference between tissue and toilet paper

Use the wrong one and you’re in trouble!

There’s a lot to learn from a small tissue

                   Different tissues, different standards

Many people think facial tissues and toilet paper are the same

In fact, they are very different

Even if they are both certified products

The hygiene standards set by the state are also very different

1.Different levels of bacteria

Tissues come into direct contact with the face

Very strict hygiene requirements

National regulations stipulate that the bacterial content per gram of tissue paper

must not be higher than 200 units

The requirements for toilet paper are relatively relaxed

The bacteria content per gram of toilet paper

not more than 600 units is considered satisfactory

In other words

Toilet paper contains three times more bacteria than facial tissues

Use toilet paper to wipe your face

The more you wipe, the dirtier it gets!

2.Different wood pulp for paper production

What we see when we buy tissue paper

virgin wood pulp and pure wood pulp are not the same concept

100% virgin wood pulp

means that the wood pulp used to make the paper is all new raw material

According to national hygiene standards

facial tissues must be made from virgin wood pulp

The presence of recycled material in pure wood pulp is permitted

Tissue made from recycled material

are in compliance with national hygiene standards

Except for household paper, medical paper

and packaging paper

can be processed into toilet paper

Would you dare to wipe your mouth with toilet paper?

3.Different requirements for fluorescent whitening agents

Fluorescent brighteners are no stranger to you.

It is often found in laundry detergents and powders

The state allows it to be added

in everyday products that do not come into direct contact with the human body

Facial tissues must be in contact with the human face

must be free of

migratory fluorescent whitening agents

Qualified facial tissues are safe to use

will not damage the skin

And hygiene standards

There are no clear requirements on whether toilet paper contains fluorescent whitening agents

and how much it contains

If you are used to using toilet paper to wipe your face, be careful

Different tissues, different uses

In life

We commonly use household paper such as facial tissues

Toilet paper, wet wipes, kitchen towels, etc.

Each one has a different purpose

They are not interchangeable

Facial tissues: for the face

Facial tissues, napkins

are designed to cleanse the face

Soft and skin-friendly with the highest hygiene requirements

Safer to use for wiping mouths and faces

Also

Tissues are tougher when soaked

Does not break easily

No crumbs left on the face when wiping sweat

Toilet paper: toilet paper

Toilet paper is moderately soft

Mainly for use when going to the toilet

Qualified toilet paper

Does not cause harm to humans

Some friends

Use Kleenex instead of toilet paper

This is also not the right way to go

Tissues are too tough

Instead of toilet paper, it tends to clog the toilet

It takes time and effort to clean up

So they can’t be used in place of each other!

Wet wipes: special paper for sterilisation

Wet wipes contain certain antiseptic ingredients

When you can’t wash your hands outside

Wet wipes are effective in cleaning and disinfecting

Wet wipes should not be used to wipe your face

Facial skin is delicate

The antiseptic content of these wipes

It can easily cause itching and redness

This is a safer way to use paper

1:Always keep a variety of paper in your home

Paper tissue are one of the most commonly used household items

When buying

Try to choose a big brand that you can trust

The price difference between the same type of tissue paper is usually small

Don’t be tempted to go cheap

Buy some paper that looks super cheap

Second look: look at the product details at the bottom of the package

Product details are usually found on the bottom of the tissue package

Pay attention to the product name and raw material

Try to choose virgin wood pulp as the raw material for the product

Three touches: feel the hand

Good tissue paper is soft and delicate to the touch

Loose, dusty tissue paper

Four smells: smell

Smell the paper when you buy it

If it smells like chemicals

it means that harmful substances such as bleach have been used

Also

Try not to buy scented facial tissues

This is a safer way to use paper

1:Always keep a variety of paper in your home

Many people buy a lot of paper towels at home when there is a sale at the supermarket

They buy a lot of paper towels and keep them at home

They use them to wipe their faces and clean their faces in the toilet

This is very unscientific

The functions of different kinds of paper are not interchangeable

Paper that has been left out for a long time is not clean

2:Use up within 1 month

Paper hygiene must be taken care of

Try not to buy loose tissues

After opening the tissue paper

Best to use them within 1 month

3:Bring your own tissues when you go out

Tissues bought from supermarkets

is usually not a problem

But the same can’t be said for outside restaurants

So

you’ll feel safer using your own tissues

I didn’t know there was so much to learn about paper tissue
