Improving hospital laundry processes
14 November 2016
In every modern hospital, hospice and care home, the threat of infection is a very real one, and it causes a great deal of concern among managers, supervisors and directors.

Laundry processes have to be efficient, safe and cost-effective. Miele, which is known throughout the world for the quality of its appliances, has been supplying machines to the medical sector for many years, and has garnered an in-depth understanding of its demands.
Features that have been effective in improving hospital laundry processes include: sluice and thermal disinfection; a wide range of programmes to choose from; reliable results; cost-effective usage of water and energy; long-lasting, durable construction; and ease of use for laundry room employees.
Miele professional appliances, which are available to rent or purchase from Allsop & Francis, conform to NHS Guidelines and offer a range of features designed to combat the threat of infections, bacteria and superbugs.
Each hospital laundry room has its own specific issues to deal with. Miele commercial appliances are available in a wide variety of load capacities, ranging from 110g to 6.5kg, so there will be one to match your own individual needs. These machines are tested thoroughly and are designed to work in even the most pressurised environments.
The reputation of any hospital can be made or broken by the quality of its bed linen and clothing. Miele is said to provide crisp, clean bed linen for every patient in every ward.
