Professional textiles play a crucial role in the image, comfort, and hygiene of any hotel or healthcare facility. From sheets and towels to bathrobes, pillowcases, or shower curtains – each item contributes to the overall experience of the guest or patient. But what exactly are professional textiles? How are they chosen, maintained, and what solutions exist for business owners?
What Are Professional Textiles?
Unlike household textiles, professional ones are manufactured to withstand:
- Frequent and intensive washing in industrial settings
- High temperatures (for hygienization and disinfection)
- Mechanical stress (wringing, industrial dryers, ironers)
- Chemical exposure (detergents, disinfectants, bleach)
They are made of 100% cotton, cotton-polyester blends, or specialized fabrics (used for bathrobes, towels, and medical textiles).
Types of Textiles in HORECA and Healthcare
For hotels and guesthouses:
- Sheets, pillowcases, mattress covers
- Towels, bathrobes, bath mats
- Decorative textiles: curtains, cushions, chair covers
For hospitals and clinics:
- Medical bed linen
- Disposable or reusable gowns
- Gauze, underpads, absorbent towels
- Color-coded textiles (for sterile vs. non-sterile zones)
Textile Leasing vs. Direct Purchase
More and more business owners are choosing textile leasing over investing in their own linen. Why?
- No upfront investment – predictable monthly costs
- Professional maintenance included – washing, disinfection, repairs, replacements
- Guaranteed stock – Oltenia Laundry ensures constant textile availability
How to Choose the Right Textiles?
- Depending on the type of facility: a 2–3 star hotel will need different textiles than a luxury resort or private hospital
- Depending on usage frequency: hospital linen is washed daily, hotel linen – with every guest change
- Depending on the image you want to convey: color, embroidery, edges, texture
