Maintaining a steady supply of clean, hygienic linens is crucial for any healthcare facility, from hospitals and urgent care clinics to independent care facilities and cosmetic surgery centers. However, managing an in-house laundry operation can be a daunting task, requiring resources and attention away from your core mission of providing patient care. Renting your medical linens offers numerous advantages that can streamline operations, reduce costs, and guarantee a high-quality clean.
Benefits of Renting Medical Linens
Cost Efficiency
Purchasing medical linens involves significant upfront costs. These include the initial purchase, ongoing maintenance and replacement costs due to wear and tear, and the expense of maintaining and operating laundry facilities. Renting eliminates these upfront expenses while providing a more manageable and predictable cost structure.
Reduced Maintenance Burden
Owning linens means committing to the ongoing maintenance of these items, including regular laundering, repairing, and replacing worn-out linens. This process requires dedicated staff, equipment, and time. With renting, it transfers all linen maintenance to the rental provider, freeing up your staff to focus on core tasks.
Inventory Management
Managing linen inventory can be challenging, and making sure you always have the right quantity and types of linens available can be a logistical headache. Rental services include inventory management, ensuring you have a steady supply of clean linens without the hassle of tracking and ordering stock.
Professional Laundry Services
Professional laundry services include comprehensive laundering that follows health and safety standards. This provides linens with a thorough clean, reducing the risk of infection and maintaining a high standard of hygiene.
Spin’s Professional Process
Our medical linens and scrubs undergo a precise and standardized process. This approach aids healthcare facilities in reducing cross-contamination and significantly enhances patient and staff safety. Here’s how we achieve our clean linens for healthcare facilities:
Soil Sorting
Our process begins with our soil sorters. They wear protective masks, puncture-resistant gloves, and specially designed clothing that protects against bloodborne and airborne pathogens.
Washing
Once sorted, the linens undergo a specialized 8-module tunnel washing process. To keep everything clean, we wash items together at a high temperature (165°F) to avoid mixing dirty and clean items.
Plant Protocols
The plant itself adheres to strict hygiene measures. Proper airflow and air handlers are in place to prevent cross-contamination. Ironers operate at 300°F to further ensure a deep clean.
Daily monitoring of temperature guarantees proper sterilization levels. Our staff undergoes ongoing training to uphold these quality standards, and the plant manager regularly checks products for any stains, tears, or rips.
Post-Wash Packaging
We package the linens carefully after processing to ensure they are clean and hygienic when they reach their destination.
Truck Loading
Our workers separate dirty and clean linens carefully to prevent any contamination during the loading process. Additionally, we chemically spray the carts used for transferring goods to the trucks daily to provide a thorough sanitization.
