Some people will say that a towel is a towel, and can it be used for other purposes besides its cleaning? However, at certain times and in certain circumstances, terry cloth can really come in handy.

1. We use gas or liquefied petroleum gas to boil water and cook at home. Always keep a wet towel by your side. In case the gas pipeline or liquefied petroleum gas nozzle leaks and catches fire, use a wet towel to throw it up and then By closing the valve quickly, a possible fire can be avoided.

2. Chefs often keep a wet towel by their side when cooking. If the oil pan catches fire, it can be quickly covered on it, and the fire will be extinguished immediately.

3. Under certain circumstances, a wet towel can hold a gas mask. The secret lies in the smoke-removing effect of the terry cloth. Practice has proved that when evacuating in the smoke of the fire, cover your mouth and nostrils with a towel and quickly rush out of the fire to obtain self-rescue. Some people have done experiments. The more layers of towels are folded, the better the smoke removal effect. The smoke removal rate of folding 8 layers is about 60%. Towels with different humidity have different smoke removal rates. The greater the moisture content, the greater the smoke removal rate. When the water content reaches 3.3 times that of the towel, the human endurance time is about 1 minute and 20 seconds.
