Hygienically Clean Healthcare
When hospitals and other healthcare facilities review linen, uniform and facility services options, every laundry under consideration should be Hygienically Clean Healthcare certified. The certification reflects laundries’ commitment to best management practices (BMPs) in laundering as verified by third-party inspection and their ability to produce hygienically clean textiles as quantified by ongoing microbial testing. A laundry’s dedication to compliance and processing healthcare linens and garments using BMPs as described in its quality assurance documentation (QA) is confirmed through regular testing of textiles as well as plant inspections. The QA manual is the focus of inspectors’ evaluation of critical control points to minimize risk.
A hospital gown can be scary thing to wear. Soft professionally cleaned textiles will reassure patients that their health care providers are looking out for them in various ways. Hygienically Clean certified healthcare linens means the biologically tested laundry is washed to the standard that ensures comfort and safety for patients and staff.

Hygienically Clean Food Service certification recognizes textile services operations supplying the restaurant industry and other food service establishments. Certified laundries commit to cleanliness through third-party, quantified biological testing and inspection. This process eliminates subjectivity by focusing on outcomes and results that verify that textiles cleaned in these facilities meet appropriate hygienically clean standards and best management practices for servicing full- and limited- service restaurants, hotels, hospitals, educational institutions and other locations where food is handled and served.
Hygienically Clean Food Service inspectors verify laundry practices including washing procedures (detergent formulas, temperature, disinfectant, pH, extraction), drying, garment inspection and transportation. Each certified laundry plant’s operational flowchart is evaluated, ensuring that these procedures (as well as pickup, unloading and sorting of soiled items and sorting of clean laundry) are mapped. Employees’ use of personal protective equipment must be documented.
