In the hotel and hospitality industry, the reviews generally comment on the cleanness of the hotel. Nobody enjoys a stay in a hotel with dirty carpets, soiled linens, or odd smells. It’s an industry where cleanliness and appearance play a major role in the bottom line. For this reason, the hotel and hospitality industry make heavy use of steam for the use of cleaning and sanitization.
Many resorts and hotels make use of an industrial grade laundry setup, which see daily use to clean large volumes of cloth materials. It starts with automatic industrial washing machines, which take advantage of direct steam injection. This will release steam vapor and detergent into the drum to relax the fabric’s fibers, allowing the steam to loosen any stains in the garment or material, and make them easier to remove from the fabric.
Drying machines also need steam. The dryer will use hot, humid air to penetrate into the fabric, reducing both wrinkles static. The use of a steam dryer will also cut down on the amount of time needed to iron the fabric, which is still needed, but now at a greatly reduced rate.
Steam is again used in this process, as ironing again reduces or removes wrinkles and provides a gentler treatment for the fabric, and providing a clean and professional look
While it plays a major role in cleaning and sanitization, steam also has its uses in other areas of the hotel. It can be found in hotel kitchens, making hot water, cooking, or cleaning up. Steam is also still used to heat larger hotels, flowing through a distribution system for the use in radiators or convectors for space heating.
