Here’s How Alabama Hospitals are Transforming Their Laundry Operations with Dexter Washers and Dryers

For hospitals statewide in Alabama, laundry is of immense importance. Healthcare facilities must meticulously clean various items daily, including bed pads, sheets, towels, scrubs, gowns, and more. Healthcare laundry is held to a higher standard than other laundry types. According to the CDC, every healthcare laundry load must meet specific requirements:

Using a combination of chemicals, such as chlorine bleach, to eliminate microorganisms and mild acids to neutralize any alkalinity in the water supply.
High extract speeds.
A specific water temperature—the CDC mandates hot water washing at a minimum of 160F for at least 25 minutes to eradicate dangerous microorganisms effectively.

Therefore, selecting washers and dryers for hospitals in Alabama requires careful consideration. We pride ourselves on offering healthcare laundry equipment with microprocessor systems that provide adaptable programming to meet the CDC guidelines.

The Importance of Exceptional Laundry Care in Hospital Facilities

While many studies highlight the importance of reducing healthcare-acquired infections, proper linen laundering is often overlooked. Research indicates that thoroughly disinfecting bed linens can significantly reduce the risk of healthcare-acquired infections.

Moreover, the proper handling of soiled linens is critical. Healthcare staff may unknowingly contract and spread infections during patient care tasks if the linen handling process is not performed according to approved protocols. Therefore, maintaining strict laundry care practices in healthcare facilities is essential to mitigate health risks for patients and staff.

Adhering to CDC Guidelines for Healthcare Laundry

While there are no specific regulations governing handling healthcare laundry, the CDC provides a set of recommended practices and guidelines. According to the CDC, it is recommended that all soiled and bagged linens be transported within hospitals using chutes or carts to minimize the potential spread of microorganisms. Bagged linen is preferred over chutes due to concerns about possible contamination. Additionally, it is crucial to properly sort and separate all linens before using machinery to minimize the risk of contaminating clean linens. Chlorine bleach is also encouraged to enhance safety measures and maintain cleanliness standards.
