The washing quality and technology of textiles in hotels not only affect the service quality of the hotel but also greatly impact the service life of the textiles. Relevant data shows that scientifically washing textiles can extend their lifespan by more than double compared to improper washing methods. Based on extensive experience, the author believes the following points should be noted:
1. Different hotels use various models and performances of laundry equipment, so corresponding washing processes and procedures must be formulated. The main technical parameters for formulating washing processes include washing time, temperature, speed, procedure, reasonable detergent dosage, and load capacity. The washing procedure is also related to water quality, the condition of the items being washed, washing chemicals, washing equipment, and water level selection.
2. The textile raw materials of the items to be washed vary, such as pure cotton, polyester-cotton blends, polyester, etc., and different washing processes should be formulated according to different qualities. For example, the washing temperatures for pure cotton and polyester-cotton differ, with the main washing temperature for polyester-cotton being below 70℃.
3. The quantity of items to be washed depends on the capacity of the laundry equipment. In washing water containing a certain proportion of chemicals, both excessive and insufficient amounts of items will affect the washing effect and the durability of the items.
4. Pay attention to selecting high-quality and suitable detergents, and configure reasonable dosages according to different washing objects and environments. If detergents are used indiscriminately without distinguishing washing objects, it will not only affect the washing effect but may also seriously damage the textiles.
5. Before washing, items should first be classified according to their use, such as tablecloths, bed sheets, towels, quilt covers, pillowcases, etc., and then classified by color within the same category. Treating different colors together may cause cross-contamination, and different colors of the same type of item require different treatment methods, especially bleaching and colored items should not be mixed. Items should also be classified by degree of dirtiness, generally divided into heavy, medium, and light dirt. Bath towels, floor towels, hand towels, and face towels differ in thickness and softness and have different contamination levels. Washing them together can cause excessive friction, so these four types of towels can be washed in three categories: bath towels, floor towels, and hand & face towels.
6. Chemicals added to the washing water should be thoroughly stirred to prevent localized damage to the items being washed.
7. During high-speed spinning, observe the sight glass. If entanglement is found, stop the machine promptly, readjust, and then spin again. When using a dehydrator for spinning, an additional clean cover cloth should be used to effectively reduce damage.
8. At the end of washing, when unloading items, avoid pulling forcefully because wet fabrics have lower strength than dry ones, and pulling hard can easily cause damage.
9. Use appropriate drying programs, applying different drying temperatures, drying times, and cooling times for different textiles to prevent shrinkage, yellowing, brittleness, and hardening of the textiles.
10. Regularly check the inner walls of the washing equipment for burrs, and promptly remove any burrs found.
