Are medical uniforms disguising an unseen problem?
A professional healthcare-specific laundry wash process has deliberate steps to care for fabrics, while improving infection prevention practices. Sorting and separating soiled garments from linens, washing at precise temperatures and utilizing detergent formulas specific to healthcare laundry is important. And while a majority of healthcare professionals believe their garment hygiene is adequate, 60% of nurses’ and doctors’ uniforms have been found to carry dangerous bacteria2.
