How to identify foreign garbage clothes? The harm of foreign garbage clothes

Many girls like to pursue vintage clothes and foreign trade originals, because most of these clothes are unique and there is only one. But it is easy to buy foreign junk, these clothes may not have labels or even tags, how to tell whether you have bought foreign junk?

Beware of "only one"

According to relevant sources, if there are more than one piece of the same style of clothing, it can be basically determined that it is not foreign garbage. In the foreign garbage wholesale market, old clothes are sold in packages of various styles, that is, there is only one piece of clothing of a certain style, and there are dozens of clothes in a package, each with a different style. If there are multiple pieces of the same style, you can basically buy it with confidence. According to Taobao experts, this is the most effective way to identify whether it is foreign garbage.

Old collar cuffs

Because foreign garbage clothing has been worn for a long time and washed many times, the trademarks will be curled, loose, yellowed and old, and the specifications and numbers will be blurred. After being picked up, they will be washed and polished many times, so the buttons, cuffs and collars of the clothes that are easy to get dirty will look older.

Pleated elbows

Foreign junk clothes are worn, and the armpits and elbows are often bent, so wrinkles are easy to appear, while new clothes will not have this problem; the collar of foreign junk clothes often rubs against the neck, so there will be obvious signs of wear, such as yellowing, glossiness, etc. If it is a sweater, check whether there is pilling.

Unpleasant smell or fragrance

There are other auxiliary judgment methods, such as whether the buttons and zippers have lost their luster or the coating has fallen off; whether the stitching has fallen off, whether the chain has opened; whether the clothes have a special smell. This smell does not only refer to the smell of old goods, sometimes there is a fragrance, which is sprayed by wholesalers to cover up the odor.

Medical experts say that these smuggled old clothes contain a large number of pathogenic pathogens. If people with weak immunity come into contact with these pathogens, they can easily develop intestinal, respiratory and other diseases, seriously endangering public health safety.

The Fujian Provincial Fiber Inspection Bureau once conducted microbial testing on the "foreign garbage" clothing obtained by the media through undercover investigations, referring to relevant testing methods.

The results showed that compared with new clothes stored in normal storage, foreign garbage clothes contained significantly more bacteria. One piece of clothing had more than 5,600 bacteria, and the other two had more than 1,200 bacteria each, while ordinary new clothes only had about 200 bacteria. According to relevant literature, these clothes may also carry various infectious sources of diseases such as tuberculosis, plague, and cholera. Some pathogens have the serious risk of causing large-scale epidemics and endangering human health. Some pathogens cannot be completely killed by normal washing methods.

The safety hazards of "foreign garbage" clothing are mainly reflected in two aspects: on the one hand, it is a source of pollution, and cross-contamination will occur when it is stored or washed together with new clothes.

On the other hand, the germs it carries may cause people to be infected with various skin diseases or other diseases. The main reasons for these safety hazards may be: 1. There is a problem with the source, which carries a large number of bacteria; 2. It has not been specially disinfected and sterilized (autoclaving, disinfectant disinfection, etc.); 3. It is contaminated during transportation and storage.

Look at the depth of color

The darker the color of the clothes, the more harmful substances are contained in the dyes. It is recommended to choose light colors when buying underwear and baby clothes.

Look at the size

Clothes that do not indicate height and chest circumference in the size are unqualified. The size of qualified clothes is marked as "175/100A", 175 represents height, 100 represents chest circumference, and A represents body shape. A represents "normal", B represents "fat", C represents "obese", and Y represents "skinny".

See washing instructions

The washing instructions must be marked in the order of washing, drying, ironing, etc.; if there are no washing instructions on the clothes tag, or the washing instructions are marked incorrectly, it is likely that the manufacturer is not formal, and it is recommended not to buy it.

Look at the level

Clothes are divided into superior, first-class, and qualified grades. The higher the grade, the higher the color fastness. Generally, there are fewer first-class and superior products on the market, so the grade marked on the clothing label should at least be qualified.

View Security Technology Category

There are three safety technical levels for clothing: A, B, and C. Clothing for infants under 2 years old must meet the technical requirements of Class A, clothing that comes in direct contact with the skin must meet the technical requirements of Class B, and clothing that does not come in direct contact with the skin must meet the technical requirements of Class C. If it does not meet the technical requirements, it is recommended not to buy it.

Foreign garbage clothing comes from foreign garbage dumps or even hospital morgues. In addition, these foreign garbage clothing contain various foreign diseases and infectious sources, and have always been strictly prohibited from entering the country. These clothes that appear on the market are smuggled into my country without inspection and quarantine. Generally, they are priced by kilogram, with low cost. After being transported to the market, they are sold at a price of about 10 yuan per piece.
