The February/March 2026 edition of Care Home Management magazine is now out, with an article from our MD, Paul Wood – see Care Home Management – JTM Service. This highlights the critical role of the on-premise laundry in Care settings, with 5 key areas to focus on to ensure robust infection control processes and controls.
- Segregation – keeping dirty and clean laundry separate at every stage
- Sorting and transport – pre-sorting of laundry, and using “red bags” and separate trolleys
- Washing – using the right commercial washing machines with the right programmes
- Drying – transferring items straight into the dryer, removing any red bags
- The laundry room – the layout is key, with defined dirty to clean flows
The article includes more information on these, and also a link to JTM Service’s FREE downloadable Good Laundry Practice Guide poster, which can also be downloaded here – Good Laundry Practice Guide Poster.
