On April 18, 2016, the Beijing News A08-09 edition published an investigation report titled "Can alkali blended detergent to wash out the white sheets in the hotel for 7 days".
"Canine blend detergent, wash out the hotel white sheet for 7 days" original
This is a report made by a 25-year-old female reporter in the Beijing News for more than half a month, and it took more than a month to make it.
If you see the true face of this female reporter, you will find that this is a girl who is reluctant to let her do laundry at home.
▲I won’t show you
undercover laundry workshop, sewage flows everywhere. Bed linens, pillowcases, bath towels and towels are all over the floor. Mix the bed sheets with blood and vomit together and wash them, and add the hot alkali to turn all white.
The undercover reporter's fingers began to become red, swollen and painful due to long-term contact with the sheets washed by the hot alkali.
What made her feel even more absurd was that the snow-white bed sheets in the Express Hotel were very different from the washing workshop environment. When she evacuated from the washing workshop, she said that she "had never washed so many bed sheets in her life. She never wanted to wash things again in her life."
She tracked the truck in the washing workshop and found several express hotels. Then, under the camera of the photographer, she took samples closely and contacted for inspection.
More than
inspection agencies heard that the business came to the door and were in a panic at first, but when they saw the bed sheets of the fast hotel waiting for inspection were 7 days, or when they learned that the inspection was sent to the Beijing News, they immediately said that they "can't be inspected."
Fortunately, the hardship and torture finally came to the truth.
According to incomplete statistics, in addition to fast hotels such as 7 days, Super 8, Hiyou, Starway, GreenTree Inn, there are also 4-star ocean hotels on the list of hot alkali washing plants.
After testing by authoritative institutions, the pH value of towels and bath towels in Beijing 7 Days Hotel (Liujiayao Metro Station Store) has reached about 10, which has seriously exceeded the normal value that the human body can bear 6.5 to 7.
"Hotel textile alkalinity exceeds the standard and chlorine exceeds the standard will cause itching in the skin." Xiang Yikui, a resident of the Dermatology Department of Union Hospital, said that overacid and excessive alkalinity can also destroy the skin's immune barrier and induce skin diseases.

In China, it is a consensus that the cost of copyright protection is high. Prosecuting these media for infringement and plagiarism will cost a lot of time and energy.
However, we will definitely protect our rights for our reports.
We warn infringing media to delete reports of plagiarism.
After complaining, the investigation still needs to be continued.
. What will happen after the "Beef-Bedding Sheets" incident?
7 days hotel replace the washing plant to increase linen pH test
Yesterday, the washing plant boiler in Nangou Village, Changxindian Town, Fengtai District was sealed.
Yesterday morning, the vehicles transporting linens to the 7-day hotel (Liujiayao Metro Station Store) have not appeared. Ms. Xie, the 7-day hotel public relations docking agent, admitted in response to the incident last night that there were regulatory loopholes in the hotel's implementation.
Ms. Xie told reporters that 7 Days Hotel has strict standards for inspection and selection of washing suppliers, formulates 15 selection rules, and regularly inspects cooperative suppliers, but there are still loopholes in insufficient supervision during the implementation process.
Ms. Xie explained that the Beijing Apple Garden Metro Station store, which cooperates with the washing plant in Nangou Village in Fengtai, is a franchise store. Due to cost considerations, she privately chose a lower-cost and unqualified washing plant. The store has been required to immediately replace it with the designated large washing supplier with national environmental impact assessment qualifications in 7 days, and conduct continuous inspections every week within 1 month. If the requirements still do not meet the requirements, the offline rectification measures will be taken.
For the washing plant located in Dahuichang Village, Ms. Xie said that she has also terminated the cooperation. For the quality of linens after cleaning in the washing plant in the future, in addition to the previous "visual measurement of the cleanliness, nose smell, and whether fingers will turn red in a short period of contact", the pH value will also be increased to conduct random inspections on each batch of linens.
Huazhu Group The hotel involved is suspended for reception and return to wash all bedding
Yesterday afternoon, Haiyou Hotel (Beijing Fengtai Dacheng Road Branch) no longer received external reception. "At present, all the customers who checked in the hotel are customers who made reservations before," said store manager Wang Wei. Yesterday, many customers asked to show their qualifications in the washing factory.
Wang Wei told reporters that the hotel has only been working with Nangou Village Washing Factory for several months. In February this year, the washing factory submitted a business license, tax registration certificate, health license and other documents to the hotel, and submitted a test report with qualified pH values of towels and bed sheets issued by a third-party testing agency. Regarding the washing plant's use of hot alkali washing, Wang Wei said that although he went to inspect it, he "had not seen it."
linens delivered to the hotel every day. Wang Wei said that in addition to counting the quantity, the clerk will observe with his naked eyes whether there are obvious stains. If there is, it will be back-washed, and there is no direct detection of pH.
Yesterday, Tang Anbang, the public relations director of the brand department of Huazhu Group, which belongs to Haiyou Hotel and Xinghui Hotel, replied to the reporter that Huazhu's stores involved have stopped cooperation with Nangou Village Washing Factory and have cooperated with another new washing factory with washing qualifications to return all linens and receive customers after they meet the washing standards.
Huazhu has launched a nationwide rectification today. The store manager and regional head went to the washing factory for on-site inspection. If it is found that a store washing company is suspected of illegal operations, the cooperation will be cancelled and legal investigation will be initiated.
Focus Sewage flows across the two washing plants. The boiler emits black smoke in 12 hours
Yesterday, at the Nangou Village Washing Factory in Changxindian Town, Fengtai District, the law enforcement officers of the Environmental Protection Bureau held a seal in their hand and prepared to seal its coal-fired boiler.
is located in front of the washing plant of the Big Ash Factory in Fengtai District. It looks like a small farmyard. On March 10, the reporter found during an undercover investigation here that there were no sewage treatment facilities here.The black and green alkali water flowed along the courtyard wall into the brick kiln pit outside the courtyard, and the garbage pile next to it emitted a stinking smell.
Internal employees of the washing plant in Dahuichang Village revealed that the sewage from the washing plant has never been treated. The same is true for the washing plant in Nangou Village. The sewage is discharged directly outside the factory and there is no treatment.
Yesterday afternoon, the washing plant in Nangou Village had stopped working, and more than 10 bags of linens delivered on behalf of others were piled at the entrance of the factory.
In addition, both washing plants use coal-fired boilers, black smoke emits all day long, burning for more than 12 hours a day.
Yesterday, the Fengtai District Environmental Protection Bureau sealed the coal-fired boilers of two washing plants and took samples and sent the sewage discharged from the washing plants for inspection.
"Law enforcement officers did not find their sewage treatment equipment at the scene, and we are testing the water samples." A relevant person from Fengtai District Environmental Protection Bureau said that a notice of interviews has been issued to the two washing plants, and they will interview these two washing plants separately this week, punish their illegal acts and order them to be rectified.
According to Article 26 of the Beijing Water Pollution Prevention and Control Regulations, this city prohibits the discharge of oil, acid, alkali or highly toxic waste liquid into water bodies. The Beijing Air Pollution Prevention and Control Regulations also stipulate that food services, clothing dry cleaning and motor vehicle maintenance should be equipped with oil fume, odor and waste gas treatment devices to prevent impact on the surrounding environment.
Wang Yongchen, a senior environmental protection organization, said that direct discharge of sewage with excessive alkalinity can seriously cause salinization of soil, vegetation death, and pollute groundwater.
investigation draft is reported in the report
torture small washing plants are similar to black workshops and difficult to supervise
Yesterday, after the pH value of bedding in many fast hotels exceeded the standard, the Fengtai Branch of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce immediately conducted on-site inspections of the two washing plants involved. Because some manufacturers have business licenses, industrial and commercial law enforcement personnel will report the situation to the environmental protection and health departments for coordination and handling.
Staff from the Fengtai Branch of Beijing Industrial and Commercial Bureau told reporters that there are no mandatory laws and regulations regarding the pH value of linens washed in the washing plant exceeds the standard, and the industrial and commercial department cannot follow the law enforcement of the linens, so they can only contact other relevant departments to manage according to the purpose of the linens.
Staff of the publicity department of Fengtai District Environmental Protection Bureau introduced that the establishment of a washing plant requires obtaining environmental assessment qualifications and reporting on pollution discharge, but "there are many enterprises and limited personnel", and the environmental protection department cannot check them one by one. "We are already conducting operations to investigate unqualified factories. However, these small washing plants are very hidden, similar to black workshops, and it is difficult for law enforcement personnel to find out." The staff member said.
As for the problems in the washing process of the washing plant, the Beijing Municipal Quality Supervision Bureau stated that although the "Standards for the Hotel Industry Textiles", the Quality Supervision Bureau is only the organizer and does not supervise. The standard implementation supervision department - Beijing Tourism Development Committee said that the Tourism Commission has no mandatory supervision of hotels. Consumers encounter service quality problems when staying in a hotel, they can call the complaint number 12301 to make a complaint, and the Tourism Commission will deal with specific issues accordingly.
, and the establishment of recommended standards for the washing industry is also very difficult. Pan Wei, Secretary-General of the Washing and Dyeing Professional Committee of the China Federation of Commerce, said, "It is very difficult to approve a national standard now. Last year, five recommended standards were submitted to the Ministry of Commerce, and one was approved."
For hotel bedding pH value exceeding the standard, the Beijing Municipal Health Supervision Institute stated that this year, it is already preparing to conduct special inspections, and the reported hotels will be listed as key inspection units.
