What kind of equipment is needed to open a laundry room in a nursing home?

With age, human immunity decreases, so older people are more at risk of contracting infectious diseases and are more difficult to tolerate them. That is why in nursing homes, sanatoriums and other medical institutions where elderly men and women are treated, special attention is paid to observing hygiene rules. It is especially important to keep the bed linen and other textiles clean. The institution can entrust his washing to a trusted laundry or do it on their own. Find out what are the advantages of opening a laundry room in a nursing home and what equipment will be needed to equip it.

Advantages of your own laundry

When creating its own department for washing and cleaning textiles, a medical institution or a boarding school for the elderly will be able to:

• establish and strictly adhere to cleanliness standards,
• reduce the cost of transporting dirty and clean laundry – it will no longer have to be delivered to and picked up from the dry cleaner.

What is needed for the care of textiles?

To open a laundry in a nursing home, you will need equipment:

• for washing,
• drying,
• ironing services.

It is important to understand that household appliances are not suitable for laundry facilities, as they cannot withstand high loads. It is necessary to order professional equipment characterized by reliability, high performance and low energy consumption.

It is worth choosing washing machines and dryers with large loads and short cycles. This will make it possible to process large volumes of textiles in a short time.

A washing machine with a program for thermal disinfection of bed linen and other items will be an excellent choice for a nursing home.

In addition to washing, drying and ironing machines, you can order:

• stain–removing tables - will help to remove even stubborn dirt,
• systems for temporary and permanent labeling of items,
• trolleys that simplify the collection of dirty laundry and the distribution of clean,
• packers for blankets and other textiles – packaging will protect clean items from dust during storage.
