It’s not that the whiter the cleaner
The whiter the paper, the cleaner? Quality inspection experts said that when the raw materials are the same, the whiteness and sanitary indicators are not necessarily related. It is recommended that consumers choose products with soft and natural colors and clean paper.
The spot check also found that the nominal “Pengjie Honeysuckle” series of removable facial tissues produced by Xiangxin Paper Products Factory in Huaian District, Huaian City, nominally 588 sheets/pack, only 366 sheets/pack in actual measurement. When consumers buy removable tissue paper, they have to popularize the indicator of internal volume.
In addition, it is best to use toilet paper and tissue paper differently. Toilet paper is toilet paper. The hygiene index and quality requirements are lower than that of tissue paper. It is not suitable to replace tissue paper for cleaning purposes such as wiping mouth and sweat; tissue paper has higher moisture content. Strength requirements, easy to block the toilet, not suitable for use as a toilet.
