Commercial Laundry Services for Medical Offices & Clinics

How Medical Practices Should Choose a Healthcare-Certified Laundry Provider

Medical office linens — exam gowns, drapes, and staff scrubs — can carry bloodborne pathogens and multidrug-resistant organisms if not processed to healthcare-grade standards. OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) sets specific requirements for handling and laundering contaminated laundry that most general commercial laundries are not equipped to meet. Medical practices need a specialized provider with documented infection control protocols before signing any service agreement.

Frequently Asked Questions — Medical Offices & Clinics Commercial Laundry

What should our office do with visibly blood-contaminated items before the laundry pickup? ⌄

Per OSHA 1910.1030, contaminated laundry must be placed in a labeled, color-coded (typically red) leak-proof bag at the point of use. Staff handling these bags must use appropriate PPE (gloves at minimum). Never rinse contaminated items in-office. Your commercial laundry provider should supply compliant biohazard bags and remove them on the scheduled pickup.

Can our clinical staff take their scrubs home to wash them? ⌄

OSHA guidance strongly discourages healthcare workers from taking potentially contaminated work clothing home. Home laundering cannot guarantee the temperatures or chemical concentrations needed to deactivate bloodborne pathogens. Facility-managed laundering through a certified commercial provider is the recommended practice and protects both staff and their households.

How do we verify that our laundry provider meets OSHA and CDC healthcare standards? ⌄
