Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How are Martex Basics True Fit Corded Pillow Protectors intended to be used in hotel guestrooms?
A: These are operational protectors that go over the pillow insert and under the pillowcase to reduce soil transfer and extend pillow life. The corded edge adds structure at the seam for handling in housekeeping and repeated laundering. Ensure the closure is fully secured after placing the protector on the pillow before the pillowcase is applied.
Q: What laundering practices should our laundry team follow to preserve fit and seams?
A: Follow the sewn-in care label. In most institutional settings, close the protector’s closure before washing, use a mild detergent, wash in warm water, avoid overloading, and tumble dry on low to medium heat to minimize shrinkage and protect the corded seams and closure. If bleach is needed, oxygen bleach is generally gentler on cotton/poly blends; use chlorine bleach only if permitted by the care label and after a spot test. Remove promptly from dryers and cool before stacking to reduce wrinkling and stress at seams.
Q: Do these pillow protectors replace waterproof or bed bug encasements?
A: These are general-use protectors for routine guestroom operations. If your brand standards or risk management policies require waterproofing or bed bug protection, specify products that are explicitly labeled as waterproof or certified bed bug encasements with appropriate barrier fabrics and sealed zipper ends. Always verify the product specifications before relying on any protector for specialized protection.
Q: What size should we order, and how does “True Fit” affect sizing after wash?
A: Order the protector size that matches your pillows (e.g., Standard, Queen, King) and confirm dimensions with your pillow supplier, especially for gusseted or overfilled pillows. “True Fit” indicates a design focus on consistent fit through repeated laundering, but you should still account for normal, minor shrinkage expected in institutional processes. If in doubt, test one case pack through your laundry to validate fit with your in-room pillows and pillowcases.
Q: How should we inspect and plan replacement in housekeeping and procurement?
A: Incorporate checks during room turns and quarterly linen audits, looking for seam wear at the corded edge, damaged closures, thinning fabric, or persistent stains that do not release in wash. Replace units showing these issues and align broader replacements with your pillow refresh cycle for consistency across rooms. Maintain sufficient par levels to cover laundry turn times, seasonal occupancy, and normal attrition so guestrooms are never short on protectors.
