During the use of hotel linen, problems such as yellowing, wrinkling, pilling and fuzzing often occur. This not only affects the appearance but may also shorten the service life. Today, let's delve into the causes and solutions of these common problems to help you easily deal with various challenges in linen care!

一. The hotel linen has turned yellow

The causes of yellowing:

Water quality issue: High iron content in the water leads to rust stains.

The drying temperature is too high.

Chlorine bleach was used improperly without whitening treatment.

The water was not thoroughly rinsed, and the residual chlorine water caused the yellowing.

Excessive softener or neutralizer.

The quality issue of the hotel linen itself.

Residual alkali.

Solution

Wash at high temperatures (60-70℃), using a small amount of laundry detergent and a trace amount of bleach to remove the residue of brighteners and avoid yellowing.

二. The hotel linen turns gray

The causes of the grayish tint

The washing water was not neutralized, leaving calcium soap residue.

Detergent quality issues, impurity deposition.

The water hardness is high and it has not undergone softening treatment.

The performance issues of the hotel linen itself.

Solution

Regularly carry out deashing treatment to maintain the whiteness, cleanliness and luster of the white linen.

三. Wrinkling of the hotel linen

The causes of wrinkling

The washing temperature is too high, exceeding the tolerance range of the linen.

When passing through water, the temperature was not reduced step by step. The sudden drop in temperature caused wrinkles.

The moisture content is too low or the steam pressure is insufficient during ironing.

The density of the hotel linen is too high or there are performance issues.

Solution

Use an iron for thermoplastic qualitative and modification finishing, or use a hot water cup instead of an iron to press the wrinkles. Keep the linen hanging to reduce the occurrence of wrinkling.

四. Pilling of all-cotton hotel linens

The causes of pilling

When the washing temperature is too high, short fibers become free and form pilling balls.

The washing loading capacity is too small. Increase the washing intensity.

Wash with other cotton fabrics.

Solution

Keep the washing water temperature below 40℃, pay attention to the PH value, and avoid strongly alkaline detergents. Control the washing capacity reasonably to avoid excessive friction.

五. Fuzzing and yarn pulling phenomena

The causes of fuzz and yarn pulling:

The drum of the laundry equipment is damaged and is being pulled hard.

Wash different types of linen together, such as washing floor towels and bath towels at the same time.

The washing program is too vigorous and the speed is too fast.

When washing, if too much linen is added, the friction will increase.

Before washing, no residual debris such as toothpicks was checked.

Solution

Check the laundry equipment to ensure there is no damage. Wash by variety, use a gentle washing program, and control the rotational speed and loading volume. Carefully inspect the items before washing to avoid any debris remaining.

The care of hotel linen requires meticulous attention to detail. Understanding the causes and solutions of these common problems can help you better maintain hotel linen and extend its service life. Hope these little tips can be of help to you!
