Test washing processes for their disinfection effect

Hygienic laundry is extremely important in hospitals and nursing homes. In addition to RKI and VAH-listed disinfection washing procedures, we offer you a service package for validating washing procedures. A certified hygiene officer will check the disinfection effectiveness of individual washing procedures on your premises. This ensures that you can offer your customers a hygienically flawless service.

What happens during validation?

First of all, bioindicators are added to the washing process, which are evaluated by a hygiene institute. In addition to the right detergent, the correct dosage and compliance with temperature and time are crucial for disinfecting washing processes. A thermologger is therefore used to check whether the set program achieves the specified parameters. The hygienic and microbiological quality of your textiles is also checked. The laundry is sampled using swab samples, which are evaluated by a hygiene institute.

Hygiene Training

The requirements for processing laundry from hygienically sensitive areas are defined in a large number of regulations, guidelines and standards. This also means that laundry employees must be instructed at least once a year on the importance of hygiene measures when processing laundry. We instruct your staff on the necessary protective measures and rules of conduct. This includes

Hand and personnel hygiene
Implementation of the specifications from the hygiene plan
Basic knowledge of microbiology
as well as other aspects relating to personnel and occupational safety (e.g. TRBA 250, DGUV Rule 100-500, DGUV Information 203-084 etc.)

In addition to theoretical instruction, we also offer assistance for practical implementation.

Hygiene Audit

The requirements for reprocessing laundry from hygiene-sensitive areas are defined in a large number of regulations, guidelines and standards. Linen from the healthcare sector, including hospitals, retirement and nursing homes and medical practice linen, is subject to DGUV Rule 100-500, DGUV Information 203-084 and the RKI Guideline for Hospital Hygiene and Infection Prevention, among others. The proper reprocessing of HACCP workwear from food businesses is specified in DIN 10524:2020-06, among others, and serves as a guide for laundry companies to comply with the legal requirements.

What happens during a hygiene audit?

As part of a company inspection, we offer you the option of either preparing for the inspection to record your required hygiene status or optimizing your existing hygiene management. Based on DIN EN 14065, a checklist is used to document the local conditions, the operating procedure and the individual process steps in the processing of your textiles and recommendations for action are derived for proper laundry care according to the state of the art.
