Development of textile care services in hospitals and nursing homes

Abstract

Developments in the field of textile washing services for homes for the elderly and infirm in recent years are described. Statistical data provide laundries with reliable information for decision-making. Regardless of local differences, homes for the elderly and infirm are an interesting market for laundries with the quality mark, because the hygienic quality of laundry certified by the quality mark not only corresponds to the normative and regulatory set values, but even significantly exceeds them. Considering the health problems of the elderly population, safe laundry hygiene is an essential prerequisite for supply in homes or privately.
