11. The soiled linen are collected from all dep. In
hotel like F&B, Kitchen, ROOMS, etc
Soiled linen are transported to laundry and
sorted the linen on three basis i.e. by color
fabric and degree of soiling.
After sorting linen are weighted according to
washing machine capacity and put that in
washing machine for wash cycle.
12. The washing depends on 4 things which varies
as per the fabric :-
FABRIC
•LESS SOILED
•MORE SOILED
TEMPERATURE
•LOW
•HIGH
WATER LEVEL
•LESS
•MORE
TIME
•LESS

13. The rinse cycle is probably the
most important part of a
washing cycle. This is done in
hot and cold water. During the
wash clothes are agitated in a
detergent solution which
dissolves the dirt.
14. Hydro means water &
extraction means to remove
at 80% of water from the
linen used in the rinsing
process and it also reduces
the drying time.
17. In this process, in which the
washing machine
automatically sucks the high
level of water in which the
soiled linen are added at
medium temp. to reduce the
soil load for the upcoming
suds flushes.
18. In this stage, the high
alkaline product is added,
which may be followed by
additional flushes. The
break cycle is usually
carried out at a medium
temperature with low water
level.
19. This is the actual wash
cycle in which acid part
of the hoppers is sucked
by the machine, it takes
place in hot water at low
water level.
20. This rinse cycle removes
soil and alkaline to help
the bleach work more
effectively later. In this
process 50-60% of water
is removed from linen.
21. In this stage, the washing
machine sucks the bleach
automatically from the
hoppers in the hot water at
a low water level. Bleach
kills bacteria, whitens
fabrics and remove stains.
23. This high speed spin remove the
left over detergent and soil from
the line, usually after the first
rinse step. It remove 70% of water
from the linen.
(Spinning speed of washing
machine is 200 RPM)
24. Softener and sours are added to
condition fabric. This cycle is
run at a medium temp. and at
low water level. Starches are
added to stiffen cotton fabrics.
Sizing may also replace the
sour/softener step.
25. A high speed spin removes
most of the moisture from the
linen. The length of the spin
depends on the fabric type,
extractor capacity, and
extractor spend. Around 95%
of water is removed in this
stage.
