Abstract

Due of worries about synthetic colours’ environmental effect, natural dyes in hotel linens have gained
popularity. Natural colours from plants, animals, and minerals are eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic dyes.
Natural dyes reduce pollution, improve air and water quality, and provide beautiful hues, which hoteliers are
recognizing. Natural dyes may colour hotel bedding, towels, and tablecloths. Natural dyes may help hotels
stand out in a competitive industry. This article discusses designing and eco-printing hotel linen using natural
dyes. Different treatments were applied to the textiles, which were then coated with a polyester sheet and
pre-mordanted natural materials. The goal was colourful eco-printed fabric textures. The findings showed
that the naked eye can clearly distinguish colour hues and textures when pre-mordanting textiles with
different natural materials and mordants. Colours and textures stood out
