酒店布草的縮水問題直接影響其使用壽命、美觀度和使用體驗。不同材質的布草因纖維特性、織造工藝的差異，縮水程度各不相同。了解哪些材質的酒店布草容易縮水，有助于酒店在采購和洗護過程中采取針對性措施，減少縮水帶來的損失。

　　The shrinkage problem of hotel linens directly affects their service life, aesthetics, and user experience. Due to differences in fiber characteristics and weaving techniques, the degree of shrinkage of different materials of linen varies. Understanding which materials of hotel linens are prone to shrinkage can help hotels take targeted measures during procurement and care processes to reduce losses caused by shrinkage.

　　純棉材質是酒店布草中較易縮水的類型之一。棉花纖維具有天然的親水性，在織造過程中，纖維受到機械拉伸處于緊張狀態，而水洗時，水分滲透纖維使其膨脹，緊張狀態被釋放，纖維自然回縮，導致布草尺寸縮小。尤其是未經預縮處理的純棉布草，首次水洗的縮水率可能達到 3% - 5%，其中高支高密的純棉布草因纖維排列緊密，拉伸后的回縮空間更大，縮水現象相對明顯。常用于床單、被套的純棉面料，若洗護時水溫過高、洗滌時間過長或脫水時轉速過快，會加劇纖維的回縮，進一步增大縮水幅度，影響布草的貼合度和美觀性。

　　Pure cotton material is one of the types of hotel linens that is prone to shrinkage. Cotton fibers have natural hydrophilicity. During the weaving process, the fibers are mechanically stretched and in a tense state. However, when washed with water, moisture penetrates the fibers and causes them to expand, releasing the tense state and causing the fibers to naturally shrink, resulting in a reduction in the size of the fabric. Especially for pure cotton linen without pre shrinking treatment, the shrinkage rate of the first washing may reach 3% -5%. Among them, high count and high-density pure cotton linen has a larger shrinkage space after stretching due to the tight arrangement of fibers, and the shrinkage phenomenon is relatively obvious. The pure cotton fabric commonly used for bed sheets and duvet covers, if the water temperature is too high during washing, the washing time is too long, or the spin speed is too fast during dehydration, will intensify the fiber shrinkage, further increasing the shrinkage amplitude and affecting the fit and aesthetics of the fabric.

　　未經處理的麻質布草也容易出現縮水情況。麻纖維（如亞麻、苧麻）韌性強、彈性較差，在織造過程中纖維被強力拉伸固定，水洗后纖維吸收水分，彈性無法支撐拉伸后的形態，從而發生明顯回縮。麻質布草的縮水率通常高于純棉，尤其是粗支麻面料，因纖維較粗、結構松散，縮水后的尺寸變化更為顯著。酒店中用于餐巾、桌布的麻質面料，若未經過預先的縮水定型處理，在初次使用后的洗滌中，可能出現邊緣卷曲、尺寸不符的情況，影響餐桌布置的整潔度。

　　Untreated linen is also prone to shrinkage. Hemp fibers (such as flax and ramie) have strong toughness but poor elasticity. During the weaving process, the fibers are strongly stretched and fixed, and after washing, the fibers absorb moisture. The elasticity cannot support the stretched shape, resulting in significant shrinkage. The shrinkage rate of linen is usually higher than that of pure cotton, especially for coarse linen fabrics. Due to the thicker fibers and loose structure, the size changes after shrinkage are more significant. The linen fabric used for napkins and tablecloths in hotels, if not pre shrunk and shaped, may have curled edges and mismatched sizes during washing after initial use, affecting the cleanliness of the dining table layout.

　　粘膠纖維（人造棉）材質的酒店布草縮水問題較為突出。粘膠纖維由天然纖維素加工而成，雖手感柔軟、吸濕性好，但纖維結構疏松，濕態強度低，水洗時纖維容易膨脹變形，導致布草收縮。其縮水率通常在 5% - 8% 之間，且多次洗滌后可能出現持續縮水的情況。常用于浴袍、毛巾的粘膠纖維混紡面料，若粘膠纖維含量較高，縮水后會變得緊實厚重，穿著或使用時的舒適度下降，同時也會縮短布草的更換周期。

　　The shrinkage problem of hotel linens made of viscose fiber (artificial cotton) material is more prominent. Viscose fibers are processed from natural cellulose. Although they have a soft hand feel and good moisture absorption, the fiber structure is loose and the wet strength is low. When washed with water, the fibers are prone to expansion and deformation, leading to fabric shrinkage. Its shrinkage rate is usually between 5% and 8%, and continuous shrinkage may occur after multiple washes. The viscose fiber blended fabric commonly used for bathrobes and towels, if the viscose fiber content is high, will shrink and become tight and heavy, reducing comfort during wear or use, and also shortening the linen replacement cycle.

　　天絲等再生纖維素纖維布草在特定條件下易縮水。天絲纖維雖具有良好的透氣性和懸垂性，但在濕熱環境中，纖維的結晶區會受到影響，導致結構松弛，進而引發縮水。尤其是采用噴氣織造工藝的天絲布草，因織造時張力較大，纖維回縮的潛力更強，若洗護時使用堿性洗滌劑或高溫烘干，會破壞纖維的穩定性，加劇縮水。酒店中用于窗簾、床蓋的天絲面料，縮水后可能出現尺寸不足、褶皺增多的問題，影響空間的整體美觀。

　　Regenerated cellulose fibers such as Tencel are prone to shrinkage under specific conditions. Although Tencel fiber has good breathability and drape, its crystalline zone is affected in humid and hot environments, leading to structural relaxation and subsequent shrinkage. Especially for Tencel cloth woven using jet weaving technology, due to the high tension during weaving, the potential for fiber shrinkage is stronger. If alkaline detergents or high-temperature drying are used during washing and maintenance, it will damage the stability of the fibers and exacerbate shrinkage. The Tencel fabric used for curtains and bed covers in hotels may experience insufficient size and increased wrinkles after shrinking, affecting the overall aesthetics of the space.

　　部分混紡材質的布草若棉質或粘膠纖維占比高，也容易出現縮水。例如棉滌混紡布草，當棉纖維含量超過 60% 時，其縮水特性更接近純棉，尤其是在高溫洗滌條件下，棉纖維的回縮會帶動整體布草收縮。而粘膠與滌綸的混紡布草，若粘膠纖維占比過半，同樣會因粘膠纖維的吸濕回縮特性，導致布草尺寸縮小。這類混紡布草雖在耐磨性上有所提升，但縮水問題仍不容忽視，需在采購時關注纖維比例和預縮處理情況。

　　If the proportion of cotton or viscose fibers in some blended fabrics is high, they are also prone to shrinkage. For example, cotton polyester blended linen, when the cotton fiber content exceeds 60%, its shrinkage characteristics are closer to pure cotton, especially under high-temperature washing conditions, the shrinkage of cotton fibers will drive the overall shrinkage of the linen. And the blended fabric of viscose and polyester, if viscose fibers account for more than half, will also shrink in size due to the moisture absorption and shrinkage characteristics of viscose fibers. Although this type of blended linen has improved in wear resistance, the issue of shrinkage cannot be ignored, and attention should be paid to the fiber ratio and pre shrinkage treatment when purchasing.
