"Sheets that are Room Ready for You laundered with Tide can save the hotelier eight to 10 percent off the acquisition cost by avoiding the first wash cycle. By eliminating the need to launder new bedding and towels when they arrive onsite, Room Ready for You laundered with Tide saves time, energy, and money."

Using clean controlled environment handling procedures pioneered by Standard Textile in the 1980s, Room Ready for You products have been available to hotels since 2003. This year, Standard Textile is working with Procter & Gamble Professional, the away-from-home division of Procter & Gamble.

"We have found that the hotel industry is always looking for ways to bring the comforts of home to its guests," said Merritt Noble, assistant brand manager of P&G Professional. "By providing hotels and companies like Standard Textile access to Tide, a brand people know and trust at home, we believe that we have given them another way to bring the 'home' experience to each hotel guest."

Stewart explains, "Outside of technology improvements designed to speed up the manufacturing process, terry towels have been manufactured in a similar manner for centuries."

Standard Textile invented the Centium Core Technology by replacing the traditional cotton core of the towel with a Centium microfilament polymeric yarn that imparts higher strength and tenacity than the typical natural fiber core.

Stewart states that this is only the beginning: "While these two innovations are the latest to our product line, we are always searching for new ways to challenge how textiles are manufactured."

Cincinnati-based Standard Textile is the international leader in the development, manufacturing and distribution of multiple-use textiles, including high-end luxury terry, sheets, blankets, window treatments, upholstery fabrics and napery.
