Why are hotel sheets and towels called linen?

Hotel sheets and towels are called linen, which is a name translated by an Englishman. After it was first used in Golden Kirin International Hotel in Hong Kong, it was gradually borrowed by mainland hotels and became a hotel terminology. It refers to almost everything related to "cloth" in modern hotels. Including bedding such as quilt cover, quilt core, bedspread and towel products such as face towel, square towel, bath towel, etc.

Hotel linen pays attention to the internal quality control of products. In terms of quality, hotel linen pays more attention to the internal quality index of products, because it needs to adapt to frequent industrial washing. Quality deviation, breaking strength, water absorption, color fastness to washing and rubbing are one of the basic indexes to ensure the properties of high-end tourist hotel textiles.

Maintenance of linen

1, the cleaning frequency of bedding (excluding cores) can be determined according to personal hygiene habits. Before the first use, it can be washed in water once, which can wash off the pulp and floating color on the surface. It will be softer to use and will not fade easily when cleaning in the future.

2. Generally speaking, the use of alkaline detergent or too high water temperature, uneven dissolution of detergent or too long soaking time may cause unnecessary fading. At the same time, when cleaning, light-colored products should be washed separately from dark-colored products to avoid mutual staining. After cleaning, dry it in a ventilated place outside. Before washing products with decorative accessories, be sure to remove the lace and pendant to avoid damage.

3. When collecting linen, please clean it, dry it thoroughly, stack it neatly, and put a certain amount of mothballs (don't touch the product directly) in a dark place with low humidity and good ventilation. Quilt products that have not been used for a long time can be dried in the sun first and then reused to make them fluffy again.
