Assess The Whiteness Of Towels And Bed Sheets With Color Checkers

During the manufacturing of hand towels, bath towels, bed sheets and various hospitality products, white color is often preferred (majorly for linen fabrics) as it is directly associated with the cleanliness and freshness of the products and considered more hygienic as compared to another color of the goods. There are no standards as such to choose a white color, and the preference of the buyers of white color depends totally on the liking and taste of the customers. With the frequency of use and exposure to white products to chemicals fades the whiteness of the linens to yellowish color which looks untidy and unhygienic.

The lack of whiteness on the linen fabric makes the user discard the product before the end of its life which leads to incurring an unnecessary cost by replacing it. Visual assessment and measuring of whiteness is a subjective factor which can influence the results due to the eye fatigue, light conditions, and various other factors. Therefore making use of color checkers is the best way to measure the whiteness of fabric efficiently and more appropriately.
