10 LAUNDRY SANITATION

Laundry Sanitization & Appearance: First Impressions Are Key

The experts at Division understand that laundry sanitization is critical to your mission. Here’s how we get your laundry Division-clean, every time.

Expert Chemical Dosing

In both appearance and sanitization, the highest quality laundry comes from the correct dosing of chemicals. That’s why we use a chemical dispensing system with a “proof of delivery” feature, so the right products are used in the right quantities. The Division team monitors this technology with two visual inspections daily to ensure that proper dosing is consistently achieved.

Two Levels of Quality

Laundry Sanitization & Appearance – Its how we measure healthcare linen quality.

  • We use the Association for Linen Management (ALM) test swatch method to achieve an excellent rating in whiteness percentage.

  • We produce linen that meets EPA standards for sanitization, using Ecolab’s “AdvaCare” laundry disinfectant for laundry that is 99.999 percent microorganism-free.

  • This results in a rating of “complete kill in 9 out of 9 carriers with 6 log or greater organisms per carrier” for the following organisms:

  • Acinetobacter baumannii (ATCC 19606)

  • Escherichia Coli 0157 H7 (ATCC 43895)

  • Klebsiella Pneumoniae (ATCC 4352)

  • Listeria Monocytogenes (ATCC 49594)

  • Methicillin Resistant Staph Aureus (MRSA) (ATCC 33592)

  • Methicillin Resistant Staph Aureus (CA-MRSA) (ATCC BAA-1556)

  • Pseudomonas Aeruginosa (ATCC 15442)

  • Salmonella Enterica (ATCC 10708)

  • Staphylococcus Aureus (ATCC 6538)

  • HIV-I Virus
