Traveling and traveling are bound to require hotels or inns. Choosing a good, clean and sanitary hotel will set a strong color for your trip. Are the towels and sheets in the hotel safe? A few days ago, Nanjing Consumer Association of Jiangsu Province, in conjunction with the Nanjing City Industrial and Commercial Dyeing and Dyeing Association, conducted inspections on four chain hotel chains with high consumer complaint rates. The results showed that Greenhouse, Super 8, Home Inn, and 7 days of 4 hotels all exceeded the standard pH values. Some bed sheets look clean, flip to the opposite side or view corners, and various stains are exposed.
4 well-known chain hotels have exceeded the standard pH value of linen
At GreenTree Inn, 137 Wangfu Street, Nanjing, inspectors conducted a random inspection of a clean room. Inspectors took towels and bath towels from the toilet to check the pH.
Immediately after the test agent was dropped, a thick black spot appeared on the sheet, and after a few seconds it turned black. The inspector took a qualitative look at the pH value of the test table. The color of the towel was darker than the cyan color of pH 10, and the color of the bedsheet and quilt showed that the pH value of the towel was also 9.
The pH of the 7-day hotel at Nanjing South Railway Station Home Inn, Super 8 North Xishan Road, and Jiangpu Street No. 24 was also exceeded. The indicator is between 8 and 9.
According to the National Quality Requirements for Cleaning of Public Textiles, the pH of wet textiles after washing should be between 6.5 and 7.5. Excessive pH can cause skin irritation.
Cheap hotels are almost outsourced to reduce costs
Many of the express hotel's linen towels are bright and bright, but many times, this is only an illusion, and the white sheets are actually "black sheets." As early as April of this year, there was media exposure of express hotels outsourcing bedding and towel washing operations to third-party manufacturers, the latter using flame-acid blending detergents.
Due to the fact that most of the express hotels have a small operating space and it is difficult to configure specialized laundry facilities and venues, they will choose to outsource cleaning. “About 50% of high-star hotels have their own laundry room for washing towels, bed linen, etc. About 50% of them are also outsourced to wash, while budget hotels are almost always outsourcing the laundry business. The cost of the self-operated laundry room is too high, and budget hotels cannot afford to operate,†said an industry source who declined to be named.
Alkaline detergents are cheap and "clean", widely used by black workshops
It is understood that washing products in washing plants are divided into washing liquids, powders or alkaline detergents. Washing liquid costs the highest, and the nature of the most neutral mild; followed by washing powder; the cheapest is the alkaline detergent. For the sake of saving money, many non-standard washing plants will use alkaline detergents, and this type of detergent has a "benefit" - the washed out towels and bedding look particularly white and "clean."
Knowing that black workshops are washed with caustic soda, knowing that strong alkaline linen will cause hidden dangers to consumers' health, many express hotels still choose to "pretend to be confused." The logic and intent behind cost control are not difficult to understand. The cheapness and safety of express hotels should not be in conflict, and the cost of business compression is understandable. However, consumers should not ignore consumer health and regard consumers as victims.
The high pH of the hotel's linen is easy to induce itching, eczema and other skin diseases
When many people go out to live in hotels, they will feel itchy and irritated skin. Some people attribute the reasons to dissatisfaction. But it may actually be that the sheets that were sleeping were not washed clean. Excessive alkalinity of the hotel's textiles and exceeding the standard of chlorine can cause pruritus. Over-acid and over-alkali can also damage the skin's immune barrier and induce skin diseases.
Due to the acidic pH of the skin, the skin barrier has an acid-base neutralizing effect. If the pH value of the grass is high, long-term use can easily lead to skin diseases or increase the original skin disease.
Going out to stay at the hotel's dim sum
For travel or business trips, if you have conditions, it's best to bring your own towels and toiletries. If it is really inconvenient, you should pay attention when you stay at the hotel: look for stains and hair on the linen; see the color of the towels and bed sheets, and see if there are any washing residues.
