HOTEL LINEN HAS UNIQUE ADVANTAGES IN CREATING ATMOSPHERE OPTIMIZING
PROVIDING HUMANIZED SERVICES AND PERSONALIZED SERVICES SO ITS
PROCUREMENT OCCUPIES AN IMPORTANT STRATEGIC POSITION IN HOTEL
A so-called pursuit of cheap or stubborn choice of high-grade is not the final good policy, only to select
suitable for the hotel linen can bring good benefits to the hotel.
However, most customers have many misunderstandings about fabric. Today, HANBI hotel linen will lead
you to explore the "secret" of hotel linen, so that customers can better choose hotel linen and avoid stepping
on thunder.
Misconception: The thicker the fabric, the better, the thicker the more expensive
Not thick fabric is good, 40×40 fabric is obviously thicker than 60×40, 60×40 fabric is obviously thicker than 60×60 fabric, thick fabric has no comfort.
The thickness of the fabric has a lot to do with the thickness of the yarn, specifically, it is distinguished by its fiber count.
Fabric count refers to the number of yarn in one square inch of fabric, called British count, or S for short.
The count depends on the length and weight of the yarn. For example, if one or two pieces of cotton make 30 yarn of 1 meter in length,
that is 30 yarn; One or two cottons made i
nto 40 yarn lengths of 1 meter, that is 40 yarn; 1 Two cottons made into 60 yarn lengths of 1 meter,
that is 60 yarn. Therefore, the higher the number, the softer and stronger the fabric, the relatively thin fabric, the better the quality of the fabric.
Obviously, the higher the count, the finer the yarn, the higher the requirements for equipment, the higher the quality of raw materials (cotton),
the more expensive the price per ton of yarn, and the higher the cost of cloth.
Count is the most important index to measure the thickness of yarn.
The warp and weft density refers to the number of warp and weft arranged per square inch, such as the usual "40×40/128×68" that the warp
and weft are 40, the warp and weft density is 128×68, which is also an important technical indicator for the purchase of linen supplies.
The number of counts is large (commonly known as "high count"), the yarn is thin, the more yarn per square inch is sure to be arranged,
so the same number of beds the higher the density, the better, high count to high-density, which is what we often hear about the "high count
high-density" fabric.
Misconception 2. Crisp fabrics are good
Hotel covers, sheets, pillowcases, pillow towels and other cloth in the regular washing company will be starched after washing. The purpose of
starching is to increase the stain resistance of the fabric, prevent dirt from penetrating into the fiber, create an "isolation layer" between the dirt
and the fabric, and at the same time, the contaminated quilt cover sheet is easy to remove dirt during washing. Another purpose of sizing is to
increase the crispness of the fabric, prevent fiber fuzz, and have a good perception. If the yarn density of the fabric is not up to standard, the
so-called thickness of the fabric will be increased by sizing, but this thickness and smoothness are temporary, and there is no longer any after
launching.
The final process of many manufacturers' fabric grey cloth in the bleaching finishing plant is also sizing, because the yarn density of the fabric
can not meet the standard. However, our fabric yarn density is up to standard, not used for sizing, but add softener, the cost of softener is much
higher than the price of slurry.
Myth 3: The fabric is bright and made of chemical fiber
Here in the most common language to explain what is mercerization. The so-called mercerizing finishing refers to the process of melting the hair
on the surface of the fabric after the concentrated caustic soda treatment, shrinking the fibers in the yarn, and then washing off the caustic soda.
Through treatment, the shape of the cotton fiber changes, the reflection of light becomes much more regular, and the surface of the cotton fiber
becomes very shiny. Mercerization is a process in the finishing process, and has nothing to do with the fabric material.
Plants that do not have mercerizing equipment use a calender process. Calendering (also called calendering) is the process of flattening the surface of
the fabric (fabric) under hot and humid conditions and grinding off the fiber hair (hair on the surface of the fabric) to improve the luster of the fabric.
Calender is composed of a number of smooth surface hard roller and soft roller. After the fabric is rolled by the combination of hard and soft rolls,
the yarn is flattened, the surface is smooth, the luster is enhanced, and the feel is stiff. However, the durability of the fabric gloss effect is poor.
It will gradually lose its luster after a few times in the water.
Pressure light mechanical physical treatment, and mercerization is chemical treatment, are two different things. Therefore, some customers think
that the fabric is bright, thin, and chemical fiber, which is actually wrong. The same fabric, mercerized than not mercerized (calender) expensive
H OW DOES THE HOTEL CHOOSE LINEN
Rooms are one of the hotel's main sources of income, and the linen used in the rooms will directly affect the guest's experience of the hotel. Hotel
linen is a general term for cotton goods, including cloth (sheets, duvet covers, pillowcases), core (quilt core, pillow core), towel (face towel, bath towel
floor towel). How to choose the right cloth to enhance the experience of guests, we need to start from the following aspects:
Cloth mainly includes bed sheets, quilt covers, pillowcases, and direct contact with the skin of the body, directly affecting the guest's sleep and
accommodation experience, the right fabric should be soft and skin-friendly, but also smooth and beautiful and do not feel cold in winter, summer
does not feel hot, but also take into account the service life, cost-effective and match with the hotel positioning. The selection of hotel textiles seems
to be a complex work, in fact, there are rules to follow, as long as you understand the basic elements such as material composition, yarn density,
fabric organization and cotton yarn quality, you can better control the quality of hotel cotton fabrics.
CHOICE OF MATERIAL
Natural fibers (cotton, linen, silk, etc.)
Chemical fiber (synthetic fiber, such as polyester, acrylic, etc.; Regenerated red vitamin, such as viscose, wood pulp fiber, etc.).
Cotton fiber conforms to various comprehensive indicators, such as moisture absorption, softness, strength, etc., suitable for
hotel textile fabrics. In order to take into account comfort and fastness, some polyester content can be appropriately added to
enhance the strength of the fabric, and the content of polyester should be 20% to 50%.
YARN COUNT DENSITY SELECTION
Yarn count represents the thickness of the warp and weft yarn, which is an important index to determine the softness and
gloss of the fabric.
Yarn count:
Coarse yarn (below 18s),
Medium yarn (19s~29s),
Fine count yarn (30s~60s),
Ultra-fine yarn (60s or more).
The higher the yarn count and the finer the cotton yarn, the softer the feel and the better the gloss. The critical value of fine
yarn and super-fine yarn is 60s, so 60s can be regarded as an important reference index. By comparison, the fabric woven
with 60s yarn has good luster, moderate thickness, fastness and comfort, as well as winter and summer body feeling, which
is a reasonable choice for the hotel. At the same time, it can also be adjusted according to this standard and the hotel's own
grade to select some ultra-fine yarn of 60s and above.
DENSITY REPRESENTS THE NUMBER OF STRANDS OF WARP AND WEFT YARN
Generally speaking, a reasonable allocation of warp and weft density should meet two requirements.
A. The strength of fabric warp and weft should be close. In the case of the same organization, the fabric tightness of different yarn counts should
be close. Therefore, as the yarn count increases, the density should be increased accordingly, such as :40sx40s 140x120 and 60sx40s173x120
B, the total fabric tightness should take into account the fastness and feel of the fabric, in line with the hotel commonly used all kinds of yarn, density
reasonable ratio.
FABRIC SELECTIN
Fabric organization represents the interweaving method of warp and weft yarn, which is an important index affecting
the softness and gloss of fabric. A fabric of plain, twill, satin, or jacquard weave. Hotel fabrics are used more plain, satin
jacquard three kinds of organization.
A, plain weave warp, weft interweaving points, fabric tight. The fastness is good, the general density is low, the cost is relatively cheap, the
disadvantage is that the feel is hard, the luster is slightly poor;
B, satin weave weave less, feel soft, good luster, generally high density, moderate cost;
C, jacquard organization has small jacquard, large jacquard points, the cost is relatively high, but decorative strong, can meet the personalized
needs of the hotel.
COTTON YARN QUALITY SLELCTION
A, cotton yarn quality according to the spinning process: combed, semi-combed, combed cotton yarn. Combed cotton yarn is combed by the
carding machine several times, remove short fibers, impurities, leaving a more uniform long fiber cotton yarn, cotton fibers arranged neatly,
smooth surface. Therefore, the fabric woven with combed cotton yarn has good feel, luster and strength, followed by semi-combed and general combed.
B, cotton yarn quality according to the fiber length: long cashmere cotton, fine cashmere cotton, coarse cashmere cotton.
· Long staple cotton has fine and long fibers, generally more than 33mm in length, suitable for spinning high-count yarn over 60s. The fabric
woven with this fiber has uniform dry, smooth surface and strong strength.
· The fiber length of fine cashmere cotton is medium, the general length is 25mm~33mm, it is appropriate to spin cotton yarn below 60s, but
there is a gap between various indicators and long staple cotton.
· The fiber of coarse cashmere cotton is short and thick, the general length is less than 23mm, suitable for the production of thick fabric, not
suitable for the production of cotton goods.
We can choose combed long staple cotton, combed fine staple cotton, semi-combed fine staple cotton, and combed fine staple cotton according to
their own needs.
In summary, through the analysis of several main indicators, it is concluded that pure cotton, 60s, satin and combed fine cashmere cotton are relatively
good comprehensive indicators. It is generally believed that the higher the number of yarn counts, the better for hotels with high grade, which has certain
misunderstandings. Generally speaking, the higher the yarn count, the softer the fabric, the better the luster, however, the higher the yarn count is generally
to match the high density, such fabric is dense, thin, slippery when you first enter the bed in winter, there is a cool feeling, and the human body is not the
same in winter and summer, summer needs smooth and cool, winter needs thick and warm. Therefore, the choice of reasonable yarn count is the most
important, more than 80s fabric, its cost performance will be reduced.
We manufacture an extensive range of Premium and Luxury Bed linen, Bath linen, towels, Bed Sheets, mattress, pillows, and Hospital Linen products that are perfectly designed for the hospitality and hospital industry.
