In Hotels, There’s No Yellowing or Stains on the Bedding – Here’s the Clever Washing Process They Use
Ah, that smell of a freshly made hotel bed… 😌 Do you know it too? My friend, who works in the industry, revealed the secret to me about how they get bedding to smell so fresh and invigorating, just like in a luxury hotel. 🛏️ I want to share these secrets with you – all the details in the article below! 👇
Have you ever wondered why hotel bedding always looks so fresh, crisp, and bright white, and feels the same way? No matter how many times it’s washed, it always maintains its high quality.
Here, you’ll learn what techniques hotels use to keep the bedding in perfect condition so that it looks as good as new after every wash.
The Fabric is Key
A key factor for the freshness of hotel bedding is the fabric used.
Unlike regular bedding for home use, hotel bedding is made from particularly high-quality, durable materials that are specifically designed for frequent washing.
These fabrics are not only durable, but they are also designed to retain their fresh appearance even after numerous washes in commercial washing machines.
The Washing Process
Hotels have strict washing policies to ensure the perfect condition of their linens. Here’s how their laundry facilities differ from others:
Controlled Loading – The washing machines are never overloaded. In hotel laundries, care is taken to fill the drum only about 80%, so the linens can move freely. This avoids excessive wear and ensures a thorough clean.
Regulated Water Temperature – While most washes are done at around 60°C to efficiently remove dirt and bacteria, heavily soiled linens may be washed at 90°C for a deeper clean.
Special Detergents and Fabric Softeners – Hotels don’t use regular detergents. Instead, they use industrial-grade detergents and fabric softeners that often contain chlorine-based formulas for stain removal and brightening the fabric. These products are not available in regular supermarkets but can sometimes be ordered online.
How You Can Achieve Hotel-Quality Results at Home
Want your bedding to look as bright white as it does in hotels, but without using professional detergents? Just try this trick:
Mix baking soda with bleach to whiten the linens and remove stubborn stains.
Replace the fabric softener with white vinegar during the final rinse. This helps neutralize odors, softens the linens, and enhances the whiteness in just one wash.
With these simple yet effective techniques, you can elevate your laundry at home and feel like you’re sleeping in a luxurious hotel bed every night!
