How to eradicate secondary pollution of hotel linen

The secondary pollution of hotel linen is a common problem encountered in the management and washing of linen. It not only increases the difficulty of washing the cloth, but also increases the cost of washing. At the same time, it also accelerates the consumption of linen. A problem that cannot be ignored.

Secondary pollution refers to the new pollution formed during the collection and washing process after the hotel linens and towels are removed from the rooms.

This pollution is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

The linen was randomly thrown, and the waiter inadvertently stepped on the linen and left a black shoe print on the linen.

Use a face towel or bath towel to wipe the countertop of the bathroom, use a pillowcase to clean the glass, and some even use the rust on the rag to wipe the rust on the felt to leave black pollution and yellow rust stains on the felt.

When the waiter collects the linen, he packs it with sheets, drags it on the ground, and rubs the cloth against the ground, causing stains.

During the loading and unloading and transportation process, the linen is randomly thrown and thrown to form new dirty marks.

After being transported to the laundry room, the linens were not stacked according to the regulations, resulting in cross-contamination of the room linen and dining tablecloths; when the cloth was transported back to the floor, it was not covered and was contaminated during transportation.

All of these, and so on, are specific manifestations of secondary pollution. The occurrence of secondary pollution, in addition to the employees do not operate according to the regulations, but also because some employees have an incorrect understanding, think that the cloth is sent to the laundry room to wash, anyway, it does not matter. As a result, the universality of secondary pollution has been caused, and the phenomenon of seeing dirt is not formed.

The damage caused by secondary pollution to hotel supplies and linen is great. When the linen is withdrawn from the customer, in general, the stain is not obvious (except in some cases). Since the hotel implements the customer's linen, it is a change of one guest, and some even change one day. The linen is basically not dirty, and it can be cleaned only by gentle washing.

However, secondary pollution is different. Secondary pollution is a stubborn stain that is not easy to clean. For example, the adhesion of rust stains is particularly strong, and it must be washed with a special rust stain. Another example is the dragging of the cloth on the ground, the fiber and the ground are strongly rubbed, the stain has been deeply embedded in the fiber, the ordinary washing method is difficult to wash off, and must be specially treated to be washed.

According to the statistics of the hotel laundry room, nearly 60% of the linens that have not been washed and reworked due to stubborn stains are caused by secondary pollution. Washing the stubborn stains of secondary pollution not only increases the workload of the laundry staff, but also causes damage to the cloth fibers due to excessive use of the stain removing agent, increasing the scrapping rate of the cloth and increasing the consumption of the customer's products. And hotel costs.

From this point of view, secondary pollution of cloth is not a trivial matter and needs to be resolved urgently. Although secondary pollution is very harmful to linen, it is completely avoidable.

To effectively prevent secondary pollution of hotel supplies, we should start with the following aspects:

Strengthen professional ideological education, enhance the sense of responsibility of the rooms and laundry staff, and make them do their best and cherish the linen.

Develop strict and detailed operating procedures, and every step of the operation has rules to avoid uncivilized phenomena in operation.

Strengthen the inspection. The person in charge of the guest room and the laundry room should always check the linen condition. Even if it finds out and stops the secondary pollution, it will seriously treat the irresponsible employees and seriously deal with it.

Increase penalties, establish a secondary pollution compensation system, and compensate the parties that cause secondary pollution, if the circumstances are serious, until the dismissal.

Improve working conditions, equip equipment as much as possible, solve specific difficulties in cloth handling, and reduce the possibility of secondary dyeing.

The linen of the hotel supplies has a certain life span, so in addition to the normal washing of the linen, the laundry room must also maintain and maintain the linen, try to extend the service life and reduce the damage rate. If it is used overdue, there will be serious damage to the cloth, and the use of the cloth will affect the quality of hotel service.
