Advice from professionals
•Install washing equipment in a barrier configuration to prevent any dirty laundry being loaded into the washing machines coming into contact with the clean laundry being taken out of the machines
•Adapt the detergents to the level of soiling
•Respect the wash programmes (pH, water hardness, temperature,
water levels, time laundry is in contact with the detergent, machine filling ratio)
•Use bactericidal products on all textiles washed at 60° or below
•Wash by textile family: a textile family is not made up of articles of the same texture but articles to be finished in the same way
For example:
If you wash a cotton pillowcase and a cotton terry towel, you actually mix two different textile families. When the laundry is taken out of the machine, the pillowcase goes
to the ironer whereas the terry towel goes into the tumble dryer. As the two finishing processes are different, the laundry operator will have to sort the clean laundry. This should be avoided at all costs.
