Abstract: At present, people’s needs have shifted from practicality to functionality. Simple, natural, and environmentally friendly functional products are gradually being valued by consumers. Bacteriostatic and deodorant towels are mainly manufactured by adding a bacteriostatic and deodorant agent in the finishing process, which has a simple process and low cost, but the functional effect will gradually decrease with the increase of washing times. In response to this problem, the paper introduces the product development process of a bacteriostatic and deodorizing towel. Bamboo charcoal fiber/cotton blended yarn is used as raw material, environmentally friendly sizing agent is used for sizing process, as well as tea saponin pretreatment process, all can effectively ensure bamboo charcoal fiber product does not contain harmful chemicals such as APEO. Choose the slack pre-drying process and imported air-flow dryer to make the looped pile fluffy and soft. According to an authoritative quality inspection agency, when the lowest content of bamboo charcoal fiber is 19%, the adsorption effect reaches the national standard; when bamboo charcoal fiber accounts for more than 65%, its adsorption effect is better, and the bacteriostatic effect is more obvious.
