Electrolux Professional is to host a series of online seminars on how to improve laundry cycle management and cut the chances of bacterial outbreaks in care environments.
The move comes after the company published Infection Prevention, an in-depth report on laundry hygiene in the care industry. It revealed that 26% of care home operators and managers surveyed do not feel their laundry is managed in a way that completely avoids contamination. The results led Electrolux Professional to publish a guide to Laundry Cycle Management - an eight-step process, which ensures that every element of the laundry cycle is monitored to significantly reduce the risk of contamination.
There will be two short webinars, one on "dirty laundry" on Tuesday 26 April, and one on "clean laundry" on Thursday 5 May, with the series culminating in a live debate on Infection Prevention with a panel of industry experts on Thursday 16 June.
Amanda Dufrane, care segment manager at Electrolux Professional, said: "We hope that by bringing the Infection Prevention debate to the public's attention through these webinars, we can truly demystify any misconceptions surrounding the safe handling of both dirty and clean laundry, and help instil the benefits of adopting Laundry Cycle Management best practice among the nation's care home operators and managers."
