What is Eliya? | ELIYA Explains

During the hotel stay, sometimes we will find the damage of the linen in some small corners. In fact, this is a huge consumption for the hotel. If it is not the main place, it may be muddled to reduce damage. So why does it always cause loss? Let's research it.

1. Damage caused by washing

1. The feeding time is wrong when washing. Do not feed materials when there is insufficient water in the machine, especially pay attention to bleaching chemicals, as this will easily concentrate the detergent on the linen and cause damage to the linen.

2. Improper use of bleach. The laundry room should use bleaching detergents with caution, especially bleaching powder (chlorine bleach). If the temperature is not used properly, the concentration is too high, and there is too much residue after washing, it will cause discoloration or even small holes in the linen.

3. The linen is stained with corrosive chemicals. Among the various cleaning products used in the hotel, some are corrosive, especially some strong acid cleaners have a great impact on cotton fabrics. If the waiters accidentally stain the cotton fabrics with these cleaners when collecting or cleaning the room If it is not cleaned immediately, it will also lead to uneven local strength or even damage to the linen, and poor fastness.

4. Misuse of detergent. The cleaning agents in the laundry room are all chemical products, which require certain knowledge and sense of responsibility to be used correctly. Otherwise, there may be mistakes in washing products, or even wrong addition of ingredients, which will also lead to this result.

5. Wash linens of different weights together. The square gram weight of different linen varies too much, and it is easy to cause

If the local density is too high, the net will break, and once the net breaks, it will cause fatal damage to the linen. If conditions permit, try to wash them separately. If it is unavoidable, they can be classified according to size and weight. Bed sheets and quilt covers should be washed separately with floor towels and bath towels as much as possible.

Two machine and human reasons

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 sorting work before washing is not serious, so that some sharp or hard sundries are mixed in it, causing damage during washing.

3. When loading or unloading the machine before and after washing, use too much force or touch sharp objects to puncture or scratch.

4. When washing and dehydrating, the uniform distribution is not good or the high dehydration time is too long, mechanical force causes tearing, or the washing time is too short, the number of times is small, the washing residue or the washing process is defective, and the residual alkali and residual chlorine are not neutralized. .

5. The quality of the linen itself and the storage environment. Cotton fabrics must be stored away from moisture, the warehouse should be well ventilated, and the edges of the shelves in the warehouse should be smooth. At the same time, the linen room should avoid pests and rodents.

6. During the use of towels, the nails and metal ornaments of the guests are scratched and drawn.

7. The hotel cleaning staff does not operate in a standardized manner. Disinfectant is a strong oxidizing agent and highly corrosive; hydrochloric acid is generally used to clean porcelain, which is a strong acid, and such solutions and residues should be avoided as much as possible in contact with linen, and it is even more important to avoid using it directly as a rag.
