Two Florida Linen Services facilities, at Pompano Beach and Jensen Beach, have earned Textile Rental Services Association’s Hygienically Clean Healthcare certification. The certification reflects their commitment to best management practices (BMPs) in laundering as verified by TRSA inspection and their capability to produce hygienically clean textiles as quantified by ongoing microbial testing.
In addition, the Florida Linen plants passed three rounds of outcome-based microbial testing, indicating that their processes are producing Hygienically Clean Healthcare linens and garments and zero presence of harmful bacteria.
To maintain their certification, laundry plants must pass quarterly annual testing to ensure that as laundry conditions change, such as water quality, textile fabric composition and wash chemistry, laundered product quality is consistently maintained.
Florida Linen has provided healthcare laundry and linen services throughout Florida since 2003.
Hygienically Clean Healthcare certification acknowledges laundries’ effectiveness in protecting healthcare operations through testing and inspections that scrutinize quality control procedures in textile services operations related to the handling of textiles containing blood and other potentially infectious materials. Joseph Ricci, TRSA president and CEO said: “This achievement proves their dedication to building their customers’ confidence that their laundry takes every step possible to prevent human illness.”
