items directly affects the overall impression of the hotel. High-quality consumables can make guests feel the care and intentions of 

the hotel, while poor quality consumables may bring inconvenience or even bad experience to guests.

Two: toiletries

Brand and quality: Choose a well-known brand toothpaste toothbrush. Well-known brands are usually more guaranteed in quality, 

and the bristles are more flexible and flexible, which can effectively clean teeth without damaging the gums. You can check whether 

the bristles are neat and fine, and whether the top of the bristles has been rounded. For toothpaste, pay attention to its ingredients

and avoid choosing products that contain too many irritating ingredients, such as certain fragrances or chemicals that may cause oral 

allergies.

Capacity and practicality: The capacity of toothpaste should be moderate, which can meet the needs of guests for short-term 

accommodation without causing waste. In general, 3-5 grams of toothpaste is suitable for one to two days of accommodation. The size 

of the toothbrush should be ergonomic, and the handle should be comfortable for guests to use.

(2) Shampoo and body wash

Ingredients and skin compatibility: Considering the different skin and hair types of guests, the hotel should provide a variety of options. 

For shampoo, choose according to the type of hair, such as dry hair suitable for rich moisturizing ingredients such as squalane, natural 

oil shampoo; Oily hair needs a product with strong cleaning power but not too irritating, and shampoos containing ingredients such as 

tea tree oil are a good choice. Dry skin is suitable for products with moisturizing ingredients such as glycerin and hyaluronic acid, while 

sensitive skin needs a fragrance-free, alcohol-free, gentle body wash.

Packaging and convenience of use: shampoo and body wash packaging is best squeezed or clamshell type, convenient for guests to use. 

There should be a clear product description on the package, including ingredients, methods of use, precautions, etc. And pay attention to 

the sealing of the package to prevent product leakage.

Three: disposable slippers

(1) Material and comfort

Disposable slippers are mainly made of non-woven fabrics, EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer) and so on. Slippers made of EVA 

material are soft, flexible, more comfortable to wear, and have better anti-slip performance. Non-woven slippers are relatively lightweight, 

but comfort and anti-slip may be slightly worse. When selecting the slippers, you can press them by hand to feel their softness and elasticity, 

while checking that the non-slip lines on the soles are clear and deep enough to ensure the safety of the guests while walking.

The size identification of slippers should be clear for guests to choose. In addition, the design of slippers should be ergonomic, can better 

fit the foot, so that guests feel comfortable when wearing.

Four: combs and other small objects

(1) The quality of the comb

The teeth of the comb should be smooth, without burrs, so as not to scratch the scalp of the guests. The material of the comb can be plastic 

or wood, and the plastic comb should pay attention to its toughness and is not easy to break; Wooden combs are more textured, but pay 

attention to their quality and avoid problems such as cracks. The shape of the comb should also be considered, the ordinary flat comb is 

suitable for combing straight hair, while the comb with the curve is more suitable for curly hair.

(2) The practicality of other small objects

Small consumable products such as sewing kits and care kits (including cotton swabs, nail clippers, etc.) should pay attention to their quality 

and practicality. The thread in the sewing kit should be strong, and the size of the needle should be appropriate; The cotton swabs in the care 

package should be full, the wood sticks should be of good quality, and the nail clippers should be sharp and durable. These small items, 

though unimpressive, can provide great convenience when guests need them.

Five: the environmental protection of consumable products

(1) The use of environmentally friendly materials

When choosing hotel consumables, try to choose products made of environmentally friendly materials. For example, the packaging of toiletries 

can be made of recyclable materials, and disposable slippers are better if they are degradable non-woven fabrics or environmentally friendly EVA 

materials. This not only conforms to the environmental protection concept of modern society, but also enhances the social image of the hotel.

(2) Design to reduce waste

The packaging design of hotel consumables can consider ways to reduce waste. For example, shampoo and body wash can be in the form of 

small capacity, multi-packaging, so that guests can choose according to their actual use, to avoid unnecessary waste. The number of disposable 

items can also be reasonably configured according to the average usage of guests to avoid over-provision.
