In the daily operation of a hotel, the washing and maintenance of fabrics is an important part that cannot be ignored. The correct washing method not only extends the service life of the cloth, but also ensures the comfort and hygiene standard of the guest rooms. Today, we will explore the difference between the washing factors for different stages of fabric washing to help you better manage your hotel's fabric washing.
Points for watering new fabrics
There are four key steps to getting new fabrics through the water:
Preparation: check the fabric for damage, stains and other problems, according to the material selection of detergent, to confirm that the washing machine is clean and running normally.
Water: according to the fabric material control water temperature, cotton and linen 40-60 ° C, chemical fiber 30-40 ° C, silk and wool 30 ° C or less; according to the instructions to add the right amount of detergent; set 15-30 minutes of washing time, the texture of the selection of the delicate gentle mode.
Rinsing: rinse no less than 3 times, 5-10 minutes each time, pay attention to the water quality, clear water without bubbles is preferred; reasonable control of the water level to ensure that the rinsing is uniform.
Post-treatment: moderate dehydration, no dripping shall prevail; give priority to natural drying, avoiding direct sunlight; if drying is not possible, operate at a low temperature; after drying, tidy up and iron out the wrinkles in time.
Difference between fabric usage time and washing elements
The laundry needs of fabrics change with their life cycle. Understanding these changes is critical to developing an effective laundry program.
Linen Usage Time Washing Factors | Brand - New (within 1 year) | Conventional (1 - 2 years) | To - be - Scrapped (more than 3 years) |
Water Level (Relative) | Low | Normal | High |
Mechanical Force (Washing Intensity) | Strong | Normal | Weak |
Chemicals (Dosage) | Weak | Normal | Weak |
Drying Temperature (max) | Slightly Higher Allowed | Normal | Low |
Washing Duration | Slightly Longer Allowed | Normal | Short |
Dehydration Duration | Slightly Longer Allowed | Normal | Slightly Shorter |
According to the table:
◎New fabric washing has a high tolerance for chemicals and mechanical forces, while old fabrics are more sensitive to these two items.
◎ New fabrics have high fiber strength and are prone to pilling. The opposite is true for old fabrics, which can be damaged by tearing due to strength problems.
◎New cloth in the early stage of washing, for detergents (bleach, softener, acid, etc.) will be the second reaction, should be appropriate to reduce the addition.
