How to Prolong the Lifespan of Hotel Linens? For hotels, controlling the wear and tear of hotel linens is crucial and closely related to proper management during their usage.

1. Lifespan of Hotel Linens: The linens used in hotels have a certain lifespan, typically ranging from 3 to 5 years. However, this can vary depending on each hotel’s specific circumstances. In addition to normal laundering, hotel laundry rooms should also focus on maintaining and preserving cotton textiles to extend their lifespan and reduce the rate of loss. Exceeding the recommended usage period can lead to severe damage to the linens, which, if continued, will impact the quality of the hotel’s service.
2. How to Properly Control Linen Wear and Tear:
   1. Use detergents correctly: Properly select detergents, understand the appropriate dosage, timing, and temperature for detergent usage, and be aware of the basic characteristics and usage of detergents. Use chlorine bleach remover to eliminate excessive chlorine residues and neutralize remaining alkalis.
   2. Avoid direct contact with linens and strong acids or corrosive chemicals.
   3. Perform pre-washing sorting, including separating linens by type and removing foreign objects.
   4. Handle the collection and transport of linens with care to prevent secondary contamination and accidental tearing.
   5. Avoid “fatigue use,” which refers to washing linens multiple times in a single day. Continuously doing so will accelerate the wear and tear of linens. Linens should be given sufficient resting time, preferably at least 24 hours or more, meaning after washing, they should rest for a day and be used on the following day.
   6. Regularly inspect machines to prevent secondary contamination and damage caused by human error. Ensure that the load capacity during washing is appropriate (around 80% to 85%). Overloading or underloading can affect the cleanliness and wear of linens.
   7. Before each washing operation, the machine’s drum should be checked for any sharp or metallic debris.
   8. Categorize new and old hotel linens. Distinguish between natural wear and tear and abnormal wear and tear of old linens, and adjust the dehydrating time according to the varying strength of new and old linens.
