Reasons for linen damage: how to protect linen in daily life and extend its service life. Before talking about the protection of linen, let's take a look at the causes of linen damage.

1. External reasons: guest pollution

The main common phenomena in life are:

1. Contamination of the pillowcase by the hair dye.

2. Carelessly burn the linen while smoking.

However, after guests pollute or damage the linen, the hotel basically asks the guests to make compensation. Therefore, the guest does not pollute the linen very much. The real reason for the linen damage is still inside the hotel.

2. Internal reasons

Damage to the machine

The main common damaged parts of linen are:

1. The drum of the washing machine has burrs or some parts are not smooth, which may cause the linen to be scratched or worn during the washing process.

2. The corners of the linen chute in the hotel floor design workshop are sharp or barbed. The linen can be thrown directly into the laundry room from the chute, and the linen is likely to be damaged during the putting process.

Improper washing operation, the main common improper operation phenomena are:

① Mastery of feeding time

②How to use bleach

③The linen sticks to corrosive chemicals

④The choice of detergent, etc.

3. Secondary pollution caused by employees

Judging from the actual work, the secondary pollution inside the hotel has the greatest damage to the linen.

(1) The concept of secondary pollution

Secondary pollution refers to the new pollution caused by the collection and transportation of the linen after the linen is removed from the guest room.

(2) The specific situation of secondary pollution

Wipe bathroom countertops, floors, and bathtubs with linen, leaving dirt on the linen during the wiping process. When the waiter collects the linen, pack it with sheets and drag it on the ground.

Linen was thrown and trampled randomly during loading, unloading and transportation.

After the linen was transported to the laundry room, it was not sorted and stacked according to regulations, causing cross-contamination of room linen and catering linen.

(3) The harm of secondary pollution

Secondary pollution stains are stubborn stains that are difficult to clean, and must be washed off with a special stain remover, and some even need to be treated to be cleaned. Cleaning the stubborn stains of secondary pollution not only increases the workload of the laundry room, but also causes damage to the linen due to excessive use of stain removers, increases the linen breakage rate, increases the consumption of room linen and the cost of the hotel .

Measures to protect linen

The damage to the linen is mainly caused by the interior of the hotel, so it is necessary to strengthen the management of the hotel:

1. Strengthen supervision at work and continuously train employees.

2. Establish a secondary pollution compensation system in system management, increase penalties, and solve specific difficulties in transporting linen.

3. Strengthen the maintenance of laundry facilities in equipment management to avoid damage caused by machines. For example, the linen replacement card currently placed in the guest room plays a key role in reducing linen washing.

4. Strengthen the frequency of staff changing linen in hotel service quality to ensure the quality of guest rooms.

5. In terms of work standards and quality, the laundry room should record the related linen work in detail every month, and control the linen within the normal loss rate.
