One of the important aspects of maintaining cleanliness in a medical facility is regular dry cleaning of linen and medical uniforms — dressing gowns, suits, hats. Let's look at how and on what equipment the cleaning of medical clothing is carried out and why it is necessary.

Medical clothing is exposed to a wide range of contaminants. Their sources are biological fluids, medicines, and chemicals. All of them pose a potential risk to the health of patients and staff. Therefore, the care of medical underwear and clothes is not limited to regular washing.

Washing and dry cleaning requirements

There are special requirements for the dry cleaning of medical clothing.

• The use of special detergents to remove stubborn dirt and disinfection.
• Compliance with sanitary standards in the treatment of clothing, including disinfection of equipment and premises.
