Laundering towels, sheets and tablecloths never altered in basic science for a long time. It involved soap and hot water, but now the science has moved on with the development of a laundry system that doesn't need hot water and only a minimal amount of detergent. It has a number of brand names, but generically it's called the ozone system.
Put simply, ozone is oxygen in a slightly different form than the breath of life. It's a highly effective cleansing agent, able to destroy many forms of harmful bacteria which can collect on soiled laundry, in addition to the core function of swishing away dirt. The dosing unit works by ozone gas bubbling into the wash water with a small amount of conventional detergent which helps to carry the dirt awayWhile laundry companies offering both ozone systems and laundry machines will encourage a hotel to get both from the same source, most laundry washing machines can be adapted to the ozone dosing system....
Detergents capable of cold-water washing are not new, but conventionally, hot water has brought about the disinfection process which is desirable for many hotels, not least city-centre and airport hotels with international one-night guests who may bring in more than their suitcases through a succession of hotel stopovers where housekeeping standards are less than five-star.
While heat combined with detergents kills bugs in the on-premise laundry, heating water carries with it a spiralling energy cost. That is one of the big selling points about ozone-based washing systems and why they are capturing a steadily growing market share.
