Among the many details of hotel operation, the quality and durability of linens are crucial factors that cannot be ignored, and the issue of damaged floor mats often attracts attention. In this issue, we will focus on 350G and 450G floor mats of the same quality in hotels, exploring their differences in damage under different conditions and the underlying reasons.

1、 The difference between cognition and reality

Generally speaking, people intuitively believe that thin 350G floor mats will break first, as they are relatively thin and appear more fragile. However, the actual situation is not so simple. In the actual usage scenarios of hotels, we often find that thick 450G floor mats tend to break earlier, which is quite surprising.

2、 Reasons for the first breakage of thick floor towels under domestic washing conditions

（1） Hidden dangers of impurities and residual chemical agents

The current washing conditions in domestic hotels have certain limitations. During the washing process, impurities in the water and the chemicals used will remain inside the floor mat. For thick floor towels (450G), due to their large thickness, it is more difficult to thoroughly remove these impurities and chemical agents by washing the inside with water. As time accumulates, these residual substances continuously erode the yarn, like a chronic poison, gradually damaging the structure of the handkerchief and making it more prone to breakage.

（2） Accumulated damage caused by poor water flow

In contrast, thin scarves (350G) are easier to wash with water due to their relatively thin thickness, resulting in less impurities and chemical residues. As a result, the degree of corrosion on the yarn is relatively mild. However, thick floor towels are difficult to completely clean internally, and residual impurities and chemical agents continue to damage the yarn, ultimately leading to their earlier loss of use value.

3、 Under ideal washing conditions

When under ideal washing conditions, the situation is different. If the washing process can effectively remove impurities and chemical residues, ensuring the cleanliness of the floor mat, then the service life of thin floor mats (350G) and thick floor mats (450G) with the same quality and yarn count is almost the same. This is because, in the absence of external adverse factors, they have similar durability based on the same quality and yarn count foundation.

4、 The role of industry platforms and the influence of China Hotel Linen Network

In the hotel linen industry, professional industry platforms play a crucial role. They gather various resources and information within the industry, providing a space for hotel practitioners and related enterprises to communicate, learn, and collaborate.

In response to the issue of damaged floor towels, China Hotel Linen Network organized experts and industry insiders to conduct in-depth discussions and share advanced washing techniques and management experience. For example, promoting the use of more efficient washing equipment and environmentally friendly detergents to improve washing efficiency, reduce impurities and chemical residue, and effectively extend the service life of floor mats.

Through a comprehensive analysis of the phenomenon of damaged hotel floor mats, we have a clearer understanding of the important impact of factors such as washing conditions on the quality of linens, as well as the important role of industry platforms such as China Hotel Linen Network in promoting industry development and solving practical problems.
